Leading business solutions provider Transguard Group is pleased to announce that it is further strengthening its presence in Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates by adding Fatima Alsuwaidi to its senior management team as Director of Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates. A UAE national, Fatima will be responsible for continuing to grow Transguard’s relationships in these emirates, as well as identifying and developing new business prospects.

“The continued growth of Abu Dhabi has offered Transguard some unique opportunities, and Fatima will be a key element as we explore and develop these potential avenues,” explained Dr. Greg Ward, Managing Director, Transguard Group. “Emiratisation is a crucial part of our growth strategy, and we are pleased to be adding Fatima to the Transguard family,”

I look forward to playing a strategic role in Transguard’s future growth,” Fatima said.

Transguard’s market-leading presence in Abu Dhabi includes the Transguard Cash centre in Mussafah, a security team of more than 1,000 professionals, facilities management of several prominent malls and the country’s largest banks, manpower support for one of the UAE’s most prominent airlines, 500 hospitality staff in some of the emirate’s most recognizable five-star hotels and resorts, and much more.
