We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the management team on their strong execution and to wish them all the success in the future.”
Ayman Abbas, Director of ECDC, said: “I would like to thank Gulf Capital for being a supportive partner since 2014. The investment made by Gulf Capital added significant value to all stakeholders, due to the flexible and tailored financing structure and the unique growth capital solutions provided, which addressed the various considerations we had as a corporation throughout our journey since 2014. We highly value our relationship with Gulf Capital and its management team and wish them all the success in the future.”
Omar Rifai, Managing Director at Gulf Capital, added “Gulf Capital was pleased to work with ECDC’s management team across different functions including reporting, corporate governance, financing solutions, and risk management.
