UAE. Dubai Duty Free won two awards at the recent Gulf Business Awards. The travel retailer was named ‘Retail Company of the Year’ and ‘Gulf Business Company of the Year’.
The Gulf Business Awards are organised by Motivate Publishing, and aim to recognise companies across seven industries: energy, tourism and hospitality, aviation and transport, real estate, banking, healthcare and retail. Winners are selected by an independent judging panel, as well as through public voting.
This year’s event was held at the Oberoi Hotel in Dubai on 10 September.
“We are absolutely delighted to have won these two Gulf Business Awards and, in particular, the Gulf Business Company of the Year,” said Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Colm McLoughlin.
“It is a fantastic achievement for the operation and reflects on the hard work that our management and staff dedicate to our business. I join our Chairman, H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, in thanking the judges for this recognition.”
The two awards were presented to McLoughlin, who was accompanied at the event by his wife Breeda, along with Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice President – Corporate Services Salah Tahlak and Senior Vice President – Marketing Sinead El Sibai.
