In
recognition of H.S.A. Group's humanitarian work in Yemen, Mr Walid Ali Mohamed Saeed has
been awarded the IAOM MEA Regional Leader Award
Mr Saeed, Managing Director of MIDSTAR Commodity Management Ltd., Dubai, was
presented the award on October 23, 2017 at the 28th Annual IAOM MEA Region
Conference and Expo Sheikh Rashid Hall, Dubai World Trade Centre, UAE.
Speaking of the lead up to his award, Mr Saeed commented, “One of our mills was affected in the war, it was out of operation for almost a year, but we can say now that the mill is running at almost full capacity but it took us some time to fix what is damaged. At the same time however, the World Food Program took part of our milling capacities for the need and for the distribution of the people, so that really helped in the terms of capacity that we were able to cover.”
He continued, “This award was at least not for me personally, but for Yemen and for our Group and all the people who stood by us all the time and made the business run. We are very, very honoured to receive this, it is such a prestigious award and the first time it was announced!”
Finally he said, “We were shy to receive this but at the insistence of the industry to recognise what had been done and for the other industries and three surrounding businesses, to do so meant we happily accept such an award and to be a good example also.”
Note: You can find an interview with the winner in the feature interview section of this issue of Milling and Grain.
