Group Human Resources Chief, Ahmed Farah, briefly speaking at the occasion introduced a new performance appraisal program that would go into effect in 2018.

“This time next year, we will be celebrating in a different mood in a different mode as we will be applauding the year’s top performers in a bigger, more ostentatious way,” he said.

“looking at our achievement from a human resources angle, we have more than attained goals we have set for ourselves for 2017 which is a cause for pride and celebration,” he added.

Deputy DMT CEO, Ahmed Warsame Duale, and Chief Financial Officer, Farah Ismail Ali, both warmly congratulated staff and management for another flawless year that saw the company capture new markets, spread geographically further afield in the world, service greater number of customers and consolidate its impeccable, compliant reputation more and more.
