message
“The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe W ith every new season, we are presented with new opportunities, and Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons shall not miss any of them. We stand strong as usual and gear up to take on the challenges that wait ahead. L ooking back over the past few months, I am pleased to see how much we’ve achieved as a team and a family. Our home-grown Yousif & Aysha Almoayyed Charity kept themselves busy with a number of charitable causes, especially during the Holy Month of Ramadan, making as much contribution to our community as possible. In addition, we carried on our EDMAJ programme as part of our CSR policy, encouraging sustainable business initiatives that facilitate our society. Across our divisions, our skilled staff attended intensive trainings programmes and continued to grow professionally, and their outstanding performances were appreciated and rewarded. On a commercial level, I would like to congratulate Ashrafs on completing their new business tower – yet another step forward for the excellent brand. And, the “Kenwood B est Digital/Social Media Campaign 2013” award for YKA-EHA division was a great recognition. In this issue, we speak to (and learn from) some of our finest executives including Amal Almoayyed, Ashrafs Executive Director, C.V. Pradeep; General Manager at YKA Trading in Dubai; and S. Sreekumar, Senior Manager – Service for Nissan, Infiniti, and Renault; it’s definitely worth reading.

same time. Although, to be honest, it puts a lot of strain on you as an individual, but unfortunately there is no better choice. What do you do to stay in touch with your employees and customers? I have always believed that the biggest asset to the organisation is the human capital. After all, a company is all about a set of people. I stay connected to my staff through an open door policy. My experience has taught me that even a person in the most junior position can give u a million dollar idea but you need to have a system that allows them to reach you. Also, being connected with the staff helps me identify the right talent for the right job. As for the customers, we have systems in place where we regularly

It has been a very new and exciting experience for me, getting involved in all the aspects of this project such as designing the outlet or hiring the staff. This is the first fast-food venture in the Y.K. Almoayyed group and I have full trust that it will be a success. What’s your advice for the young entrepreneurs out there? My scoop of advice for the youngsters who aspire to succeed in the business world is: Believe in yourself. – You must recognise and believe in your skills and use them to

of products, more product lines, and fresh concepts – it’s going to be a completely new experience altogether.
One of the most recent major investments of Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons Group – the new business tower for Ashrafs – has just been completed. Can you tell us about your direct involvement in the execution of this project? I firmly believe that if you want the end result to be good, you need to monitor every detail at grass-roots level. I’ve been very passionate about our new tower right from its inception stage as I believe that it will give Ashrafs the right platform to relaunch its excellent brand.
Tell us about your brand’s growth and how it impacts the local economy? Ashrafs has always been synonymous with quality and trust. We are one of the very few companies that dates back over a

In our own way, we have contributed to the local economy by playing the role of a fair business entity, nurturing our associate businesses, and encouraging human talent.

Apart from launching the new Ashrafs, what is your next challenge? About a year back, I heard about a purely vegetarian fast food concept and I was very impressed with the idea. After discussions with the franchise in Dubai, we signed a contract for the first Dosa Plaza in Bahrain that will open its doors by the end of October, right next to our main Ashrafs building, with

What effect will this new facility have on your customers and employees? We haven’t officially launched it yet, but we have already received a very positive feedback – people personally call me and remark favourably on the way the tower has come about. Internally, this major change will be a great motivation for the staff; the new work environment generates new energy. I am also certain that our customers will love the new facility.

Yes, it’s official! The refreshed tenth generation 2015 Nissan Sunny is now available in Bahrain, having had arrived in the Kingdom last September. The brand has given its acclaimed sedan a step up in terms of distinctive styling connectivity (Nissan Connect), in addition to its typical interior roominess, safety, quality, comfort, and fuel efficiency. The original Sunny was launched in the Middle East under Datsun brand in 1966 and is part of Nissan and the Regional Automotive Heritage across its ten generations. Sunny is one of the top selling models in the region, making for 15 per cent of Nissan total regional sales – the sales volumes that Nissan plans to double by FY16. The 2015 Sunny builds on this solid foundation

and strengthens Nissan’s presence in the increasingly popular B-Sedan segment. “While delivering on its recognised classleading strengths, the latest model boasts enhanced technology with a new styling taking its cues from Nissan’s latest design direction,” said Paul Baker, General Manager at Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons.
2015 Sunny Highlights The latest model’s design stems from the popular tenth generation model but receives comprehensive updates inside and out making it bolder and even more desirable. The sleek and smooth silhouette is accentuated by a premium front end with bigger and bolder grille, boomerang-shaped headlamps and an all-new bumper. New fog lamps with chrome finishers and generous chrome highlights in the grille surround and front bumper lower lip give the car a brand new identity. The rear end also gets the premium touch with redesigned, flared bumper, black diffuser cladding, chrome trunk garnish and short antenna at the rear end of the roof. Other styling features include chrome door handles, Outside Rear View Mirror (ORVM) mounted turn signals, and stylish 12-spoke Y-pattern alloys. The changes are not limited to the exteriors but continue on the inside, adding to the functionality and comfort of the classleading spacious interiors. The 2015 Sunny features an enhanced dashboard with piano black finish centre console, Bluetoothenabled audio, an all-new steering wheel with integrated audio and telephone controls and Nissan Connect, which provides Facebook and Google connectivity. The model retains the class-leading safety features. ABS, EBD and Brake Assist are standard across the Sunny range as are the driver and passenger airbags. The new Sunny also retains its pioneering fuel efficiency and its 1.5-litre petrol engine The new 2015 Nissan Sunny includes four spec variants and is available at Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons showroom in Sitra. Prices start at BD 4,795. For test drive or more information, call +973 1773 2732.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons strives to be a leader in the area of corporate social responsibility. Through our EDMAJ programme, we have developed and established a wide-ranging set of sustainable business initiatives that benefit our community. Our CSR policy lies at the core of our daily operations and impacts our future growth.
Back to School: Free Supplies Drive As part of its mission to reach out to the community, Yousif & Aysha Almoayyed Charity Society launched an internal campaign where they distributed school bags to the children of their staff. This initiative also served as a token of gratitude from YKA to its employees for their continuous efforts and dedication. Salwa Almoayyed, a member of the Charity Society and Director at YKA, commented “We would like to congratulate the students for starting a new academic year, and are eager to see them strive in their education and be a part of the prosperity and development of Bahrain.”
Employees Contribute in the Blood Donation Campaign A Blood Donation Campaign was held at Salmaniya Medical Hospital where 115 of YKA’s staff participated in the event. Mona Almoayyed, YKA Managing Director, commented, “Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons Group is committed to serving its community, and every year, we extend our support by hosting blood donations in coordination with The Central Blood Bank of Bahrain. Blood donation is a key element in health care services that reaps benefits on a large scale, and we are proud to initiate this movement and involve our staff.” Over the past six years, YKA has been organising regular blood donation campaigns where hundreds of its employees have donated valuable drops of life in aid of the Bahraini community.

Donation to Garnata Primary Girls School Yousif and Aysha Almoayyed Charity donated a car to the Migrant Workers Protection Society (MWPS) as a means to support their continuous efforts and facilitate their needs. The charity group, a subsidiary of Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons solely dedicated to aiding the community, donated the 2014 Nissan Sunny during a special ceremony hosted at Nissan Showroom in Sitra. Salwa Almoayyed, Head of the Charity, handed the car keys to Marietta Diaz, Head of MWPS, in the presence of MWPS General Secretary Beverley Hamadeh, the YKA representatives, and Nissan Bahrain General Manager Paul Baker, among others.

Cooline air-conditioners; and OKI’s printers. What does your division have that your competitors lack? We strive for 100 per cent customer satisfaction, which is extremely difficult in this business.

company (previously known as Utmost Electronics) in 2007 and since then, we have actually doubled our turnover within a span of six years, in spite of the downturn experienced during 2008-2013.

Additionally, our current strategy is to promote our brands Ariston and Daewoo in the project sales segment, which is now

What products and services does YKA Trading offer to the consumers in the UAE? At YKA Trading, we have an array of well known and exclusive brands from Korea, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and Japan.

In your view, what is the best strategy for a sustainable business in the UAE’s competitive and unpredictable market? UAE, as you know, is a dynamic market, so one should be able to adapt very quickly to its volatility with aggressive pricing offers and promotions. The agility to shift gears quickly and move along with changing market conditions is very important to sustain a business. I consider it a great success that we’ve been able to gain market share while the market itself has been flat for over five years. For instance, when we decided to drop the brand Sansui in 2014, we immediately covered the deficit by increasing Daewoo, Ariston and Cooline product lines. How do you plan to increase your company’s market share in the UAE? Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons took over this
expected to show significant growth after the announcement of EXPO-2020. As a professional, what attributes do you bring to your company? Over the years, I’ve gathered an extensive knowledge and insights in the consumer electronics and office automation industries. I know how to maintain excellent relationships with our principals. I always keep my focus on numbers. And, lastly, I am efficient in leading the team towards meeting the company’s objectives. Can you name three factors that you believe play a major part in building a successful career? Passion for the job, a stable and supportive family life, and a workforce that understands and supports your vision.
Face-to-Face Interview with S. Sreekumar, Senior Manager – Service for Nissan, Infiniti, and Renault
In the automotive industry, the relationship with the customers starts only after the car is delivered to them. The seamless, high service levels keep the customers happy and bring about repeat purchases, in addition to efficient word of mouth marketing. So, service department has a great influence on the incremental sales of the dealership. What is your approach to ensuring maximum customer satisfaction and loyalty? We focus on providing the best ownership experience through constant communication with our customers and attention to their feedback, in addition to a regular re-evaluation of our internal systems and processes. We use every opportunity to
Way Out Front in the Service Game What are the aftersales services that you offer for your brands? The most basic service we provide is the periodic maintenance service offered for all cars, which is mandatory in order to ensure maximum performance and safety at all times. YKA has brought this facility to the customers’ doorsteps; instead of fighting busy traffic on their way to our Sitra main branch, they can reach one of our network service centres within 15 minutes driving distance – in Arad, Salmabad, Manama, or Hamad Town.
We have a strong and technically qualified team of technicians who are capable of handling any complaints, under the global warranty policy of the brands we represent. Do you have any special services or products that make your service centres stand out? Can you tell us more about the luxury features available at your Sitra branch? We implement the ‘service while you wait’ concept at all our centres. As our technical staff delivers a quick service, while not compromising on quality, we encourage
our customers to relax at our luxurious waiting lounge equipped with refreshments, live satellite television, massage chairs, and updated reading materials. We also offer a ‘drop and pick up’ service from more prominent locations where the customers leave their cars for more serious maintenance. For our premium Infiniti customers, we also provide free courtesy cars when they bring their vehicles for service. In your view, how important is the service department for the car dealership’s operations?
What are the biggest strengths of your team? My team members are frequently trained by the principal companies and internally so that they are always up to date and motivated. Generally speaking, they work according to three basic principles: sense of urgency, customer focus, and quick communication – used both within the organisation and in the customer interactions so as to avoid any service delays. In your experience, what part of working in the automobile industry is the most rewarding? Positive customer feedback and subsequent repeat and referral car sales are a huge source of job satisfaction to me
