Al Fardan Exchange selects Crowe as training partner in UAE

Al Fardan Exchange has named Crowe its training partner for business and financial skills in the UAE market.

With its roots stretching back to 1954, Al Fardan Exchange is today one of the best-known brands in the UAE’s currency exchange scene. The company (part of the Al Fardan Group) has 80+ outlets across the Emirates, providing exchange services for close to 100 currencies.

Part of its human capital agenda, Al Fardan Exchange continuously seeks to enhance the skills and capabilities of its over 1,000 employees (from 20+ nationalities). “Recognising that our people are integral to achieving success, we place a high value on developing our employees,” said Hasan Fardan Al Fardan, CEO of Al Fardan Exchange.

“The collaboration with Crowe provides an excellent opportunity for our employees to expand their knowledge and skills, ultimately enhancing their professional competencies and contributing to the growth of our organisation,” Al Fardan continued.

As part of the agreement, Crowe will deliver a diverse range of training programs designed to equip Al Fardan staff with “the latest industry insights, best practices, and specialised skill sets necessary to thrive in today’s dynamic market,” said Dawn Thomas, partner at Crowe. The trainings will span business and interpersonal skills.

Having won the bid in competition with a number of other accounting and consulting firms as well as training specialists, Thomas said Crowe was “honoured to be chosen as a training partner for Al Fardan Exchange”, a company that is renowned for placing people at the heart of its strategy.

Last week, Al Fardan Exchange won an award for its endeavours in learning & development, having been awarded the ‘Excellence in Innovation in L&D Practices’ award by Disprz.

Crowe is one of the ten largest accounting-origin professional services networks. The contract with Al Fardan Exchange is led by its UAE organisation.
