Abdulrahman al-Marouf

Company: Combined Group Contracting Company (CGCC)
Position: Chairman

Abdulrahman al-Marouf is chairman, managing director, CEO and a major shareholder at CGCC. The Kuwait-based firm specialises in roads, infrastructure, housing and oil and gas work, and had an annual turnover of $528m in 2011, up from $412m in 2010.

Its project portfolio received a massive boost in October 2012, when it was announced that the company would construct the $2.6bn Jaber al-Ahmed Causeway in joint venture with South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction. CGCC’s other major schemes under way include a new college of art and education at Kuwait University, the Jahra Road upgrade and Kuwait City’s sixth ring road contract.

Given Kuwait’s planned investments in megaprojects, the organisation is well positioned to benefit as these emerge. CGCC works with a number of joint-venture partners including the UAE’s Arabtec. The group is also active in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman.
