A COMMITMENT<br />

TO SERVE<br />

There are not many people in Bahrain who have not heard of<br />

Khalid Almoayed. In fact, it’s pretty certain that the name<br />

would elicit the same respect anywhere in the Gulf region.<br />

Founder and Chairman of the diverse and multi-faceted corporate<br />

house, Khalid Abdulrahman Almoayed & Sons, and Chairman of<br />

the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), Khalid<br />

Almoayed has had a front row seat in the growth of the nation<br />

through its most eventful years. Having built the family owned KAS<br />

Holding he has overseen its growth and development into a unique<br />

business concept that includes lifestyle, retail, travel, IT, contracting,<br />

F&B and transportation. The KAS portfolio has since extended<br />

into various Middle Eastern countries, exporting concepts to new<br />

territories, putting together a portfolio built on family values and<br />

responsibility towards the community.<br />
