The Kanoo Group Celebrates the UAE's 52nd National Day

 

"52 years. Do not take this for granted. Every year, let it be a year filled with gratitude for every day. Please realize that we are very lucky to be in a place that provides and protects us. What the UAE government does to the outside world resonates with the founding father Baba Zayed's advocacy to always help those in need. Help others. We are extremely lucky that this country cares for us and gives us an opportunity. We are in a place where we can create opportunities for others as well—an opportunity for our families and an opportunity for our children. Remember, whenever you work, do not work for this company; work for your family, work for your children, to give them better opportunities."
-Mishal Kanoo-

In celebration of its national pride and Emirati heritage, Mishal Kanoo, the Chairman of The Kanoo Group, a diversified business conglomerate with over ten subsidiaries and a network of global partners across various industries, led a heartfelt commemoration of the 52nd anniversary of the foundation of the United Arab Emirates at the central HQ in Bur Dubai, Dubai, UAE.

The entire office was adorned with miniature flags and decorations symbolizing the colors of the UAE flag (red, white, and green) to mark the celebration.

Also in attendance was Maha Kanoo, Director of The Kanoo Group, who emphasized the significance of unity, stating, "Unity has been the hallmark of the UAE's journey, and as it goes in pursuit of success towards the next few years, I firmly believe that collaboration and unification will persist in serving as the nation's guiding principle. We are committed to fostering unity within the Group to imbibe the nation's bid for a tolerant society."

In the Abu Dhabi office, the celebration was led by Mohamed Abdul Latif Kanoo, Deputy Chairman of The Kanoo Group, along with Abdullatif Kanoo. They highlighted the importance of innovation and providing the highest quality of service to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market. The Deputy Chairman remarked, "The UAE has proven its prowess to stay adept in a rapidly changing market. May we all take inspiration from the values of this nation and continue working hard to attain further success in our Group."

Mishal Kanoo’s Message for UAE’s 52nd National Day

 


The 52nd UAE National Day is not just a date on the calendar; it's a cherished moment that resonates with the beating heart of every one of us.

This special day isn't just about marking the years passed; it's about recognizing the incredible journey that has shaped the United Arab Emirates into the vibrant nation it is today. It's a celebration of leadership, determination, and ambition—values that inspire us to give back, show generosity, and pour our hearts into the work that builds our beloved homeland.

Let's take a moment to journey back to the beginnings led by the visionary Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the founding fathers. Their dedication and dream birthed a union that stands tall today, showcasing to the world the remarkable development that started in sync with the birth of the UAE on December 02 and 03, 1971.

This celebration isn't just an annual ritual; it's a reflection on the nation's incredible achievements, both locally and on the global stage. In just over five decades, the UAE has become a beacon of success, a model for the world, and a symbol of development, safety, and security.

The Kanoo Group's journey in UAE, initiated around the same time as this young nation by my father, mirrors the spirit of the UAE's vision. As we grew alongside the country, we carry an exciting vision forward, promising to evolve and thrive in the years to come.

With each passing National Day, we find ourselves not only celebrating our organization's achievements but also gearing up for even greater strides. It's a time to encourage creative thinking and set the stage for the next chapter of success.

Today, we renew our pledge to stay loyal to this land and its visionary leaders. Their guidance has led us to prosperity and welfare, and we commit to building a brighter future for generations to come.

Our gratitude extends to Allah for blessing us with leaders who tirelessly raise the UAE flag, bringing prosperity and happiness to all. On this occasion, we send our heartfelt wishes and congratulations to our leadership and the people of the UAE. We pray for the continued success and prosperity of our beloved land.

May the United Arab Emirates continue to thrive in peace, stability, and progress.

Mishal Kanoo - Chairman of the Kanoo Group

The Kanoo Group celebrates the 44th UAE National Day

UAE: The striking UAE Flag waving outside The Kanoo Group building and the splendid hanging decorations across the walls and ceilings depicting the colors of the national flag, marked another year of the Spirit of Union to commemorate the 44th UAE National Day.
Employees from across every division flocked together and joined the festivities on 1st December 2015 with a meaningful banquet as a traditional celebration of The Kanoo Group for the National Day event which is being held every 2nd December of each year.

The warm festivity was felt across the UAE, with the usual adorning T-shirts, bags and shoes, and even cars, in every season from different cultures and countries - people from different backgrounds waving the UAE flag with a deep sense of pride and joy.

For 44 years, many people and organisations have seen the historic rise of the UAE including The Kanoo Group which is one of the pioneering/oldest and longest running companies in the Middle East; from a humble beginning into becoming a world-class leader. Nowadays, the UAE is receiving enormous recognitions around the world not only for its strong diversified economy but also for its smart, sustainable and innovative project management practices.

Members of the management and staff of The Kanoo Group shared the same sense of honor for the success and accomplishments of the UAE and its Unity, as they gathered together for the annual celebration, filled with a real sense of Emirati hospitality from Arabic food, arts and crafts.

Mohd Sagher Mubarak Mohammed Mubarak and Khalid Abdul Hussain Ali from Kanoo Machinery, members of the UAE equestrian club, also joined the National Day celebrations representing The Kanoo Group at Al Ahli Horse Riding Club, an organization that aims to teach a wide range of people of all ages to ride and to be able to care for horses.
