ENOC hosts student team from Hong Kong

The 32 students from the university's Faculty of Business and Economics were led by Dr. Derek C. Man, BBA Program Coordinator. The four-day visit was part of a study tour intended to extend teaching and learning beyond the classroom and give the students a closer view of the business dynamics as well as the socio-political and cultural environment in the Gulf region.

Tayyeb Al Mulla, Chief Executive of ENOC International Refining and Marketing, commented:

"Empowering future generations with the skills required to succeed and excel in an increasingly competitive world is an integral part of ENOC's business principles. The visit of students from Hong Kong University shows the wide acceptance of this strategy and our leadership in sharing business knowledge and expertise."

Mohamed Sadek, Manager ENOC Lubricants, delivered a presentation to give the visiting students an overview of the ongoing developments in the UAE and their economic significance. A case study on ENOC's lubricant business was also presented, followed by a Q&A session.

Sadek expressed his delight at receiving the students and added that it was inspiring to note ENOC being closely watched as a successful business model by academics and the next generation of business leaders in Hong Kong.

Salah Galadari, Chief Operating Officer of ENOC International Sales L.L.C, commented:

"ENOC is proud to be contributing significantly to the economic diversification and growth in the UAE. Our expanding operations are also reflective of the increasing level of economic engagement between Dubai and the Far East. The younger generation in these two model economies will play a significant role in further strengtehing this engagement. Hence ENOC considers the visit by the students from Hong Kong as a step towards future."

The visiting students termed the ENOC experience as extremely useful and enlightening. "The visit to ENOC gave us a good understanding of the importance of natural resources in the development of Dubai. It was also interesting to learn about Dubai's interest in alternative energy and the application of cutting-edge technology into its business processes. We also appreciate the warmth and hospitality accorded to us at ENOC," said Justin Uy, a final year university student.
