The Start

John Simento and Tyronne Pires first met while working at a trading company in Dubai. They found common ground in their ambition and entrepreneurial spirit.

Building a Dream

John and Tyronne's differing approaches often led to spirited debates, but these discussions were the crucible in which their best ideas were forged. "Our differences were our greatest strength" - John Simento.  The company, which initially operated out of a small office, quickly gained a reputation for its innovative solutions and exceptional customer service. Under their leadership and later together with the Group's CEO, Jamal Sabri, the Group continued its expansion.  Thus, beginning a journey that would see the business grow into a thriving enterprise with over 300 employees.
