Message from the CEO

CEO's Quarterly Newsletter Address:

I am delighted to share an update on the Group’s performance in the second quarter of 2024. We have achieved remarkable mile- stones and continued to strengthen our presence across various sectors.

A significant highlight of this quarter is the extensive new listings for our portfolio. The presence of our products continue to grow at leading retailers, on prominent e- commerce platforms, and at luxurious five- star spas across the region. This expanded availability is a testament to our ongoing efforts to make our brands accessible and desirable to a wider audience while main-taining their high-end appeal.

Our marketing team has played a crucial role in driving market penetration, particularly during the peak festive seasons of Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha. By collaborating with high- profile bloggers and influencers, we have effectively amplified our reach and engage-ment, ensuring our brands resonate strongly with consumers during these significant cel- ebrations.

Innovation remains at the core of our strate-gy to build and promote our partner brands. One of the standout initiatives this quarter was the introduction of the Ramadan Calen-dar. This unique concept featured a curated selection of our brands and captured the interest of influencers and PR agencies alike, resulting in frequent and enthusiastic postings. The Ramadan Calendar not only showcased our products but also highlighted our creative approach to marketing.

I am incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work exhibited by our team. As we look ahead to the third quarter, I am confident that we will continue to see the growth and expansion of our brands, further solidifying our position in the market.
