Big Project Middle East hosted more than 70 golfers from contracting firms across the region for the latest edition of the Big Project ME Contractors Cup.
Held at the Emirates Golf Club on April 5, the day-long tournament brought together construction executives and professionals from all facets of the industry for an 18-hole-round of golf, filled with on-course competitions and chances to network in a relaxed environment.
Targeted at senior executives and decision-makers from the region’s most prominent contractors, this year’s attendees included representatives from ALEC, Arco Contracting, Khansaheb and AESG, amongst many others.
“As usual, it was such a great event. We really enjoyed it, and had a great time. I’m looking forward to joining in at the next golf event,” said Ahmad Fakhreddine of Arco Contracting.
“As usual a fantastic day and I’m looking forward to the next event. I met a couple nice people and new contacts and for sure that’s the idea. I’m looking forward to the Consultants Cup,” said David Maltman of Menard, while Gary Williams of AESG chimed with, “It was a lovely day and a great crowd, looking forward to the next one already!”
“Absolutely the best day’s golf I have had out here since time began, thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. A well-organized event, great day of catch up, network and round of golf,” Matthew Neno of OFIS added.
