Latest on the industry
As we unveiled our refreshed brand in October 2025, we also introduced a renewed culture and a set of values that capture who we are and how we aspire to work together. Our culture at AWR Group isn’t written in manuals or confined to meetings. It lives in our daily actions, in the choices we make, and in the way we show up for one another. These values are the foundation of how we think, collaborate, lead, and grow, as individuals and as one group. They reflect our shared belief that true progress happens when creativity meets integrity, when ambition is driven by purpose, and when every one of us feels empowered to make a difference. We Are Enterprising We think creatively and embody a forward-looking spirit. Being enterprising means having the curiosity to explore new ideas and the courage to bring them to life. It’s about being bold enough to challenge the norm, take initiative, and keep learning from every experience. This mindset fuels passion in our work environment, inspiring innovation, agility, and growth. We celebrate those who see opportunity in change and who turn possibilities into meaningful progress. We Are Purposeful We feel a responsibility to create meaningful progress for all. Purpose is what turns work into contribution. At AWR Group, it means staying connected to something bigger than ourselves, creating value that goes beyond profit and builds a legacy of trust and impact. Being purposeful is about working with intention, aligning our efforts to a clear direction, and finding fulfilment in making a real difference for our customers, communities, and colleagues. We Act with Integrity We are honest, sincere, and accountable in everything we do. Integrity is our foundation - the value that shapes how we lead, decide, and interact. It’s about doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Acting with integrity means showing fairness and transparency, respecting the legacy of our founders, and holding ourselves to high ethical standards. It fosters trust, strengthens relationships, and sustains the culture we are proud to build every day. Across more than 3,300 colleagues and 65 nationalities, these values unite us. They give meaning to our work and direction to our future. We have also since introduced our Culture Ambassadors, colleagues from across the Group who will bring these values to life, spark meaningful conversations, and celebrate the moments when our culture truly shines. “Our brand refresh is more than a new look; it’s also a renewed promise to our people. These values are how we bring that promise to life: through everyday choices, courageous conversations, and a shared commitment to create an environment where every colleague can grow and contribute.” - Caroline Hobeika, Chief Human Resources Officer at AWR Group This is our culture in motion. Rooted in values, driven by people, and shaped by the choices we make together.
L-R: Eyas Kayaly, Senior Learning & Development Specialist, Rowan Elbardicy, Manager - Learning & Development, Aayah Almutawa, Learning & Development Specialist, Hala Kabarah, Head of Learning & Development. Education today is no longer confined to classrooms, curricula, or platforms. It takes shape through experience, participation, and relevance - shaped by the people closest to the work and the realities they navigate every day. Across AWR Group, learning is approached as a shared responsibility. One that is built through collaboration between teams, partners, and institutions, and strengthened through real-world application. On International Day of Education, this perspective carries particular relevance - inviting reflection on how learning creates impact when it is actively shaped, applied, and sustained over time. Learning grounded in practice In 2025, AWR Group’s learning ecosystem continued to evolve around one central principle: learning should support people in doing their work better, with confidence and clarity. This year alone, 67 in-person training programmes were delivered across the Group, engaging 806 delegates and clocking 5,307 hours of face-to-face learning. These sessions created space for dialogue, skill-building, and shared problem-solving - reinforcing the value of learning that happens in proximity to real challenges and lived experience. Alongside in-person learning, digital capability continued to scale through AWR Academy, the Group’s learning platform powered by Cornerstone. In 2025, this translated into: • 22,485 learning hours viewed • 39,064 courses accessed • 27,013 courses completed Taken as a whole, these moments point to a learning culture built on consistency rather than intensity - where progress grows steadily through access, flexibility, and choice. Learning shaped through partnership Education gains depth when it is informed by diverse perspectives. Across AWR Group, partnerships with academic institutions and specialist providers play a critical role in expanding how learning is designed and delivered. Formal collaborations with Higher Colleges of Technology and University of Wollongong Dubai continue to strengthen the bridge between academic learning and professional application. These partnerships are complemented by programmes delivered with reputable external providers including SCQuARE Training, Biz Group, Dr. Soha Chahine, and Amr Habbal - each contributing specialised expertise that aligns learning with evolving business needs. Beyond professional development, early exposure to the workplace remains an important part of AWR Group’s learning ecosystem. Internship and graduate training pathways continue to welcome students from a wide range of institutions, including: • Higher Colleges of Technology • University of Wollongong • Ajman University • Manipal University • University of Dubai • Middlesex University • Heriot-Watt University As well as schools such as Arb or School, Emirates International School, GEMS Wellington, Dubai International Academy, and King’s School Al Barsha. Seen over time, these touchpoints illustrate the value of continuity in learning - from early exposure through to professional progression. Learning, from the inside out At the heart of any learning ecosystem are the people who shape it every day. Across AWR Group, the Learning & Development team plays a central role in curating opportunities, enabling access, and supporting teams as they build capability over time. Their perspective on education is grounded in the same principles that underpin the Group’s approach. Hala Kabarah, Head of Learning & Development, reinforces the importance of individual ownership in the learning journey: “Commitment to learning is a personal responsibility. It requires discipline, intention, and a willingness to invest in your own growth over time. Training creates opportunity, but real development happens when individuals choose to engage, apply, and take ownership of their progress.” Aayah Almutawa, Learning & Development Specialist, shares: “Education shapes how we think, builds confidence, and helps us unlock our potential. For our Emirati talent, learning creates space to grow, lead, and contribute meaningfully. Progress comes from curiosity, commitment, and staying open to growth over time.” Eyas Kayaly, Senior Learning & Development Specialist, adds: “Continuous learning helps us adapt, innovate, and perform at our best. AWR Academy gives employees the flexibility to explore new skills and invest in their growth at their own pace. Learning is a journey - and the platform is there to support that journey every step of the way.” For Rowan Elbardicy, Manager - Learning & Development, the value of learning lies in its practicality: “Learn one thing that makes your job easier. Not more complex - easier. Choosing learning that matters to you is how capability turns into impact.” A shared ecosystem of learning As organisations reflect on the role of education today, one idea continues to resonate: learning delivers its greatest value when it is co-created - shaped through partnership, grounded in practice, and guided by long-term intent. At AWR Group, education continues to take shape through people, participation, and purposeful design. Not as a standalone initiative, but as a shared ecosystem that evolves alongside the business and the people within it.
The 22nd of October 2025, marked a defining moment in the journey of AWR Group - a moment that brought together our leadership to align on the path ahead and celebrate the evolution of our brand. Held at our Deira headquarters, the day was both a strategic milestone and a symbolic beginning - one that reflected how far we have come, and the collective vision that guides where we are headed. Charting the Road Ahead The day opened with our Group leadership coming together under the theme ‘Our Unified Strategy for 2026.’ The session served as a shared platform to reaffirm our direction, our priorities, and our ongoing commitment to the Group’s long-term ambitions - a journey guided by Vision 2030. Dr. Amina Al Rostamani, Executive Board Member, Director, and Chief Operating Officer, set the tone with a keynote address on The Journey to Vision 2030 - a reflection on how purpose, innovation, and resilience continue to define our evolution. Her address was followed by Mahesh Rohra, Chief Strategy and Business Development Officer, who outlined Building the Roadmap – Our 2026 Strategy, translating our shared ambitions into a clear, actionable framework for the years ahead. Voices from across the Group highlighted the pillars that will drive this journey forward - innovation, customer experience, sustainability, data intelligence, and culture. Hala Kabarah, Head of Learning and Development, spoke on Fostering Innovation and Collaboration, reinforcing how continuous learning and cross-functional synergy will power our progress. Mathew O’Donnel, Customer Experience Manager, focused on Elevating the Customer Experience as a defining measure of success, while Sara O’Hara, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, presented Shaping a Sustainable Future and The Next Chapter for AWR Group - connecting our refreshed brand identity to our broader sustainability ambitions. Dr. Murat Zeren, Chief Information Officer, explored the Data Analytics and AI – 2026 Roadmap, highlighting how technology and insight will enable smarter, more agile decision-making across the Group. Completing the session, Jade Woodward, Head of Brand Marketing, articulated Brand Foundations - the principles that will guide the expression of our identity as one unified Group. Caroline Hobeika, Chief Human Resources Officer, then shared reflections on Culture as a Strategic Enabler, highlighting the vital role our people play in driving this transformation forward. A Celebration of Earth, Land, and Air The strategy session transitioned into a thematic lunch - Matters of Earth. This experience, curated exclusively for the AWR Group rebrand launch, celebrated the elements that sustain life: land, water, and air. Each dish was crafted using locally sourced produce, repurposed ingredients, and sustainable practices that embodied mindfulness and care for our planet. The culinary journey was thoughtfully curated and brought to life by our very own DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai M Square, part of the AWR Properties portfolio - whose team translated the concept into a sensory journey grounded in flavour, rooted in nature, and mindful of the future. The menu’s thoughtful design mirrored our Group’s values - grounded in respect for nature, rooted in authenticity, and conscious of the impact we leave behind. It served as a moment of pause and reflection, reminding us that sustainability is woven into everything we do - from how we innovate, to how we create, to how we serve. Bringing the Evolution to Life The afternoon marked the unveiling of the new AWR Group Brand Immersion Centre - a purpose-built space that captures the essence of our journey: our legacy, our vision, and our transformation in motion. Located within our headquarters in Deira, the Brand Immersion Centre brings to life the spirit of AWR Group through dynamic storytelling, interactive technology, and timeless design. It offers an immersive experience that bridges our past with our future - allowing every visitor to explore who we are, what we stand for, and how we continue to evolve. Through guided tours, our leadership teams experienced the Group’s story as never before - through archival moments that honour our founders’ vision, narratives that reflect our shared progress, and interactive features that project our ambitions for tomorrow. This space stands as a living expression of our identity - one that embodies unity, purpose, and progress. It was created for our people, to remind us all that every chapter written in our history has been shaped by those who believe in the power of what we can achieve together. Our New Era At the heart of this transformation lies something deeper - our role in the wider story of progress. We are not bystanders in that story; we are its driving force. Across our businesses, we create mobility, build communities, and connect opportunities - shaping experiences that move people and possibilities forward. This is what it means to be purpose-driven: to know that every decision, every innovation, and every partnership contributes to a greater whole. If purpose is the heart of who we are, then our brand is the voice that carries it. As our Chairman, Mr. Khalid Al Rostamani, shared in his message to colleagues, this rebrand marks “a redefinition of who we are becoming: bold in vision, grounded in values, and united by a shared commitment to Embrace Generation Next.” The unveiling of our refreshed brand identity and the opening of the Brand Immersion Centre signal more than a visual evolution. They reflect the essence of what defines AWR Group - ambition shaped by heritage, innovation anchored in purpose, and progress guided by vision. It is the start of a new era - one built on alignment, belief, and shared momentum as we move forward, united and focused on shaping the next chapter of our journey.
In a quiet corner of our Deira headquarters, something powerful has taken shape. Not a typical boardroom or branded showcase - but a living experience. A space where the spirit of AWR Group is no longer something we describe, but something we step into. October 2025 marked the official opening of the AWR Group Brand Immersion Centre - a purpose-built environment that brings our brand to life through a compelling mix of narrative, design, and technology. It’s a space shaped for discovery. One that connects our past, illuminates our present, and invites reflection on what it means to belong to our story. More than a milestone in our rebrand rollout, it is a space created for our people. A place to see ourselves - and our collective journey - with new eyes. Rooted in Legacy The experience begins with a pause. In the PAST zone, guests are invited to reflect on our founding story through rarely seen archive footage and a curated timeline that stretches across over 70 years of entrepreneurial ambition. An interactive book unlocks deeper layers of the late Abdul Wahid Al Rostamani’s legacy - capturing the moments, values, and decisions that built the foundation of who we are today. In this same space, a quiet statement of purpose takes shape: our Corporate Rainforest. Powered by partnership with Tree-Nation and grounded in data from our first emissions inventory, this immersive feature reflects our environmental progress to date and signals the scale of impact we aim to achieve. What comes through in this opening chapter is not nostalgia - but continuity. Each touchpoint affirms that our roots were built on belief, resilience, and a relentless drive to progress with purpose. Reflecting the Now From legacy, the journey flows into the PRESENT zone - a dynamic showcase of who we are today, and how we’re driving transformation across the business. Ten interactive displays unpack the core Pillars of Progress , from our Vision 2030 roadmap to our approach to ESG, Wa’ed, and innovation. Each screen acts as a window into the strategy shaping our direction and the culture behind our momentum. A standout installation - the Automotive Changemakers holographic - pays tribute to our automotive legacy while honouring our forward trajectory in mobility. Anchored by a genuine part from a UAE-iconic Nissan Patrol, this exhibit bridges heritage and innovation in one powerful display. Across each touchpoint, there’s a feeling of shared authorship. This is the chapter we’re writing together - across teams, sectors, and cities. Shaping What’s Next The final zone is all about possibility. In the FUTURE zone , our refreshed values take centre stage - brought to life through digital storytelling, immersive media, and a moment of personal reflection. Guests meet Rowaida , our MetaHuman persona, whose presence signals how we’re embracing technology in a way that stays rooted in humanity. They’ll step into the sensory installation, where light, sound, and motion reflect the dynamic energy of a brand that’s alive and evolving. They’ll also experience our brand’s new visual identity - from the colour palette reinterpreted for the digital age, to the Generation Mark and Journey Line that symbolise our continuity and momentum. Every element is intentional. Every detail speaks. And before guests leave, a final prompt: to share their own reflection. A note in the guestbook that adds their voice to the collective narrative - because this story is still being written.

Leadership capability grows through shared experience, reflection, and continued learning in practice.
We recently celebrated the graduation of the third cohort of our Fostering Emerging Leaders Programme (FELP) - the Pathfinders. FELP brings together colleagues from across AWR Group’s businesses and disciplines to strengthen decision-making, broaden perspective, and deepen day-to-day leadership practice.
Since its launch, the programme has grown into a defining part of our talent development journey. Through immersive modules, open dialogue, and cross-functional learning, participants return to their roles with greater confidence, stronger judgment, and a clearer understanding of how their leadership shapes teams and business outcomes.
Congratulations to the Pathfinders on this milestone and to every participant who continues to carry these learnings forward across our business.
We look forward to seeing how this cohort continues to lead, influence, and contribute across AWR Group.

Bridging the gap between brand strategy and student learning.
Earlier this month, AWR Group welcomed MSc Marketing Management students from De Montfort University Dubai to our Brand Immersion Centre - turning our brand transformation into a live case study for tomorrow’s marketers.
The session explored the strategic journey behind our brand evolution - from legacy to positioning, visual identity to stakeholder alignment - offering students first-hand insight into what it takes to build a brand that’s clear, connected, and built for longevity.
By stepping inside our Brand Immersion Centre, the students experienced how storytelling, design, and purpose come together to reflect culture, values, and future ambition - and how real transformation begins from within.
As we continue to invest in the next generation of changemakers, this engagement reflects our belief that meaningful learning is co-created - and thrives at the intersection of experience, exchange, and education.

Education takes shape through people - through experience shared, curiosity answered, and knowledge put into practice.

This month, in partnership with Companies for Good, we brought our annual Mangrove planting adventure to life once again - a signature initiative that reflects our ongoing commitment to environmental and social impact.
Alongside 35 volunteers from across AWR Group, we spent the day at Al Zorah Mangrove Tours, learning about one of the UAE’s most vital ecosystems and contributing directly to its restoration. From raising awareness to planting saplings along the coastline, it was a powerful reminder of the role we can play - individually and collectively - in protecting our planet.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in helping shape a more sustainable future - one tree at a time.

Among the most intimate corners of the Brand Immersion Centre is a touchpoint dedicated to where our story truly begins - with our founder, Abdul Wahid Al Rostamani.
Here, an interactive book invites you into a living archive of rare images, handwritten notes, and defining moments that shaped the earliest chapters of our journey.
As its pages are explored, audio soundbites of those who knew him best - family members, trusted partners, and long-standing colleagues - offer personal reflections on the man behind the name. Their words bring forward the values that guided him: integrity that never wavered, perseverance that never faded, and a belief in progress that continues to move us forward.

Recognition that reflects our purpose in action.
We are honoured to have been recognised at this year’s Emirates Labour Market Award - now in its third edition - as one of the UAE’s leading private sector companies.

Shaping clarity at the core of finance leadership.
We recently brought together 20 senior finance leaders from across AWR Group for an immersive two-day SCQuARE workshop - equipping them with a globally recognised methodology to structure thinking, simplify complexity, and communicate with precision.
Held at the Marriott Palm Jumeirah, the training focused on building the capability to turn complex issues into clear, decision-ready business cases - a vital skillset in a landscape where clarity, alignment, and agility drive performance.
Investing in thinking is investing in impact. And by strengthening how our leaders analyse, influence, and decide - we’re reinforcing the mindset and capability that shape business outcomes across every part of the Group.
#WeAreAWR #FinanceWorkshop #SCQuARE #AWRGroup
Shaping the future begins with redefining our own.
In an interview with Campaign Middle East, we spoke to the thinking, strategy, and storytelling behind AWR Group’s brand transformation - a shift that aligns our identity with the ambition, values, and momentum powering our next chapter.
Our Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Sara O’Hara, offered an inside view on the creative and strategic decisions that shaped the platform - and the role of brand in deepening trust, connection, and long-term value across our businesses.
“Our guiding purpose, ‘Embrace Generation Next,’ captures the bridge between legacy and future innovation. It reflects who we are today, a family-founded Group shaped by trust and enterprise, whilst expressing our commitment to building a better tomorrow.”
From the Generation Mark to the Brand Immersion Centre, this transformation is rooted in legacy and designed for progress - a unified expression of who we are, what we stand for, and how we move forward together.

The Generation Mark sits at the heart of our identity - newly introduced as a symbol of our evolution and the future we are shaping.
A tribute to the generations before us, a reflection of who we are today, and a symbol of the chapters still to come.
It represents progress across time - and the responsibility we carry to create lasting value for every generation.

Another look back at how purpose moved us this October.
Through the return of our #DriveToZero campaign, Nissan, Infiniti, and Renault - part of our Automotive portfolio - continued to drive awareness forward, uniting community, care, and advocacy in support of breast cancer awareness.
In collaboration with partners across health, fitness, education, and hospitality, the campaign delivered meaningful activations across the UAE - from wellness sessions and mobile screenings with the Pink Caravan to community engagement moments that championed early detection and collective action.
Watch the highlights from the team’s Pink Run - one of the many moments that brought the campaign to life.
#WeAreAWR #Nissan #Infiniti #Renault #BreastCancerAwareness #AWRGroup #EmbraceGenerationNext
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, we hosted Paint It Pink - a creative gathering at Girl and the Goose, Anantara Downtown Dubai, where colleagues from across AWR Group came together to express solidarity through art.
Each participant painted a single canvas. When assembled, they became a collective mural - a visual statement of connection, resilience, and what’s possible when purpose brings people together.
For us, awareness must live beyond words. Through shared moments like these, we strengthen our culture, support our people, and help carry forward the message that early detection saves lives.

On UAE Flag Day, we honour the symbol that unites our nation - a flag that reflects the strength of our union, the pride of our people, and the promise of our future.
At AWR Group, we stand with the nation in celebrating the values that the UAE flag represents - unity, leadership, and progress for generations to come.
في يوم العلم، نُحيي رمز وحدتنا، ونُجدد الفخر برايتنا التي تُجسد قوة الاتحاد، وعزة الشعب، ووعد المستقبل.

A defining moment. A unified direction. A new chapter begins.
Last week, AWR Group marked the launch of our brand transformation - bringing our story to life through a rebrand experience that united leadership around a shared direction and purpose.
The unveiling of our new Brand Immersion Centre marked a pivotal moment in that journey - a space that honours our legacy, reflects who we are today, and sets the tone for what comes next. Each element was intentionally designed to express the mindset behind our evolution: purposeful, people-led, and future-focused.
This marks the start of a new chapter - where brand, strategy, and values move forward as one.
Watch the highlights from a day that brought the spirit of AWR Group into motion.

In 1954, Abdul Wahid Al Rostamani laid the first foundation of what would become AWR Group.
A legacy defined by purpose and driven by progress…built to empower generations ahead.
This was just the beginning…
#WeAreAWR #AWRGroup
It began with a small bookshop in Dubai…a place built on vision, curiosity, and purpose.
That spirit didn’t stay on the shelves. It became the foundation of everything we’ve built since.
#WeAreAWR #AWRGroup
Our legacy isn’t behind us. It’s what moves us forward.
#WeAreAWR #AWRGroup
…Because shaping tomorrow starts with rethinking today.
#WeAreAWR #AWRGroup
Tomorrow has a new shape…and it begins soon.
#WeAreAWR #AWRGroup
Pink pastries, themed tables, and powerful conversations filled the room as our colleagues came together for a breakfast dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The atmosphere was thoughtful, warm, and united by purpose - where moments of connection turned into shared commitments to stay informed, support one another, and prioritise early detection.
If just one conversation leads to a check-up, a shared story prompts a screening, or a moment of awareness turns into prevention - we move forward with purpose.
#WeAreAWR #BreastCancerAwareness #PinkOctober #AwarenessInAction #AWRGroup
The journey of any brand is only as strong as the people behind it.

Our first Summer Accelerator cohort took on 25+ hours of focused learning - from mastering Power BI to rethinking workplace intelligence - and emerged with sharper skills, broader perspectives, and stronger cross-functional connections.

As we close this month’s tribute for International Women’s Day, we spotlight the final voices in our series - women across AWR Group accelerating action with clarity and purpose.
Their stories throughout March reflected how progress takes shape - through strategy, sustainability, creativity, and care.
Thank you to everyone who followed along. These voices remind us that action takes many forms, and the momentum we build today shapes what’s possible tomorrow.

This Ramadan, we honoured the spirit of the season by sharing Iftar with those who power our operations. Across our Al Quoz and Sonapur accommodations, we distributed 1,700 meals, fostering moments of unity and connection within our community.
Every meal, thoughtfully packaged in reusable lunch bags, reflected our commitment to both our people and the planet.
We are grateful to the 90+ volunteers from across our business whose dedication made this meaningful initiative possible. Your collective effort is what unites us, drives us forward, and brings our shared purpose to life.

Tonight, millions will come together for this simple act - but it’s the lasting impact that will define tomorrow.

On 11th March, we gathered over 1,200 of our operational community members from across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates for our annual grand #Iftar celebration at the Sheikh Maktoum Hall, World Trade Centre. This special evening was a heartfelt expression of #unity, #gratitude, and shared #joy.
With a spread of traditional dishes, exciting games, and an engaging raffle draw, the event truly embodied the essence of #Ramadan.
A huge thank you to our dedicated teams for making this event possible and to our senior leadership for their words of encouragement, reminding us all of the strength of #community.
Ramadan brings us #together, and we’re grateful to continue celebrating this beautiful spirit with our people.
