HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Transguard Group’s Chairman of the Board, said: “Transguard Group welcomes our new board directors whose addition expands the depth and breadth of expertise to steer the business through a new phase of growth. The Group has gone through a period of rapid expansion, alongside record revenue and profit, in the years before COVID-19, which temporarily slowed down growth in 2020-21. With the UAE’s excellent pandemic management strategies, business has rebounded strongly since 2021-22 and Transguard is expecting this upward trend to continue, aided by its solid reputation, as well as business and operational foundations. Across business streams – from cash, security, aviation, hospitality, workforce outsourcing, last mile delivery, home maintenance and facilities management services – the Group looks forward to executing its growth strategy with the support of its expanded Board.”
