The awards are organised by MEED, which partnered with Gulf Capital four years ago as the headline sponsor, to recognise the UAE’s SMEs, business leaders and entrepreneurs for innovation, growth and success.

“Clariba is excited to be recognized for our people and culture — It’s all about developing, motivating and engaging the team to create a positive work environment,” said Marc Haberland, managing director, Clariba. “We thrive having a team of the brightest minds in the business; and we are continually building our culture, our team and our corporate brand to impact our business performance and be the best in our field.”

“The growth in the number of entrants this year compared to the previous edition shows the award programme’s steadily growing reputation as a highly sought after recognition scheme for SMEs. This year’s finalists have shown remarkable progress, evident by their strong turnover performance. Beyond the numbers, what makes this year’s batch impressive is the strong emphasis on innovation as a key foundation for achieving long-term growth; as well as their determined effort to efficiently manage their resources to support growth plans. We wish the finalists the best of luck; and congratulate them for having gone this far in the selection process,” said Dr. Karim El-Solh, chief executive officer, Gulf Capital, one of the leading alternative investment firms in the Middle East and headline sponsor of the annual Gulf Capital SME Awards.

The People and Culture of the Year Award will go to the organisation that can best demonstrate how the business has created a positive working environment and invested in developing its people. Winners will be announced on 28 October 2015 at the Westin Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina, Dubai. For information and updates on the awards, please visit www.meedsmeawards.com.
