Sheikh Haif Bin Mohammad Bin Aboud Al-Qahtani   (President & Owner )

 

 

Born at a calm village in the Southern Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to a farmer father and owner of a farm. At his early stages, he joined Omar Bin Abdulaziz School, which cherished in the memory. His ambitions, dreams and enthusiasm had driven him to the Kingdom’s Capital, Al-Riyadh, where he started a small business of car trading, before he expanded his activities to contracting and other trading activities by establishing his own firm in 1976, which he named Haif Trading and Contracting Establishment. Thanks to his great determination, far-sightedness, hard work and dedication, the small business evolved into a market leader in several areas. The name of the Firm has been changed later to “Haif Company”.

Haif Bin Mohammad Bin Aboud Al-Qahtani, the self-made man, spared no effort along many years to progress his business systematically toward realizing his goals, which he drew carefully and achieved with thorough planning, glowing determination and great ambitions.

Throughout his business career, Sheikh Haif has adopted the supreme values that are enriched by his deep faith in Allah Almighty and the Islamic way of life, which he was accustomed to from his very early stages of childhood with the help and guidance of his parents and the Islamic environment as well.

He always bears great gratitude and respect toward the Founder of the Kingdom and the leader of this country and his faithful brothers who contributed considerably to the prosperity of the Kingdom and thanks to their support and encouragement, the private sector organizations were able to advance ahead of the foreign competition.

Sheikh Haif believes that life is the prime educator and school of life, but business experience must always be reinforced with proper academic education. For this, he was keen in educating his sons and daughters without overlooking the main values, which must be an integral part of the education and the culture in general.

Sheikh Haif, the President of Haif Company, has gained great respect and appreciation among businessmen in both private and public sectors for his leadership of the Company driven by uncompromised values that he believes in and observes very carefully. The values which steam the company engines to run successfully through the stages of development and overcome the challenges on the way.

To him, clients are the prime asset and commitment to quality and timely delivery are the magic keys to success and total customer satisfaction.

He always believes that success is measured by value added to the people and society. His philanthropic deeds, which he does not like to mention, are mere evidence of his attitude and commitment toward society.
