The ceremony will be held virtually in the third week of March under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, and it will be led by Mr. Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director-General of DET.
At the ceremony, 21 businesses from the retail, services, healthcare, hospitality, and e-commerce sectors will be honored under the Dubai Service Excellence Scheme (DSES), while 18 businesses from tourism, service-leading organizations, business associations, and industrial sectors are commemorated in the Dubai Quality Awards (DQA) series.
Shaikha Ahmad Al Bishri, Director of the Business Excellence Department at DET stated that “The 28th Business Excellence Awards are a testament to the resilience and adaptability of businesses in the UAE and the impact of the decisive measures adopted by the leadership to ensure business continuity in the face of a challenging global business landscape.”
The new edition of the awards saw an increase of more than 10 percent in applicants, while the overall increase over the last 28 years was more than 300 percent, which indicates the integration achieved among businesses and service organizations with the concept of quality and excellence.
