With over two decades of stint with our group, Luqman has vast knowledge and expertise to lead our operations and engineering divisions. Armed with six-sigma training and recently completed Business Leader Development Programme from the University of Oxford, I am confident that he is well equipped to take on challenges to bring two key functions to the new level of efficiency."
