Al-Dubaikel, Head of Business Resiliency Programs and Waqas Ahmed, Area Manager of Intertek Business Assurance in KSA Eastern Region.

We are honoured to have received this certification from Intertek and would like to thank their team for their professionalism and diligence throughout the certification process.”
