While the company has been engaged in the Saudi events landscape for a significant duration, it noted that it believes ES:ME’s division in Saudi Arabia underscores its steadfast commitment to advancing the region’s events industry. Located in Riyadh, the division is headed by the director of operations, Matthew Clarke, who brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the position, having founded Amadeus Holdings AG. He has also spearheaded strategic initiatives for prominent events including multiple Olympic Games, Formula One races and FIFA World Cup tournaments.

"ESME have further established the company, office and facilities in the Kingdom, to support the growth in service offerings to our client(s),” said Clarke. “We have a very strong footprint now in the GCC that will allow us to be innovative, flexible and responsive to project and event needs."
