MIDDLE EAST here and for other UN projects in the likes of the DRC , South Sudan and Central African Republic .
Building up communities An ultimate end for Douglas is to revitalise the societies in which the company works , with a big part of this revolving around employing and developing local people in the business . SKA employs more than 700 people , a mixture of former armed forces personnel , commerciallyfocused personnel , as well as local nationals .
“ We pride ourselves on having local staff and taking good care of them , giving opportunities they otherwise wouldn ’ t have ,” Douglas added . “ We invest a lot in training and sending people abroad to become qualified – I want a loyal group to take us forward .”
The company also invests heavily in the charitable sector , for example in Iraq where it supports many events run by the Amar International Charitable Foundation .
By continuing to improve its own offering , SKA International Group can keep on driving commercial growth in the world ’ s most challenging environments where help is needed the most , ultimately uplifting the lives of communities that have endured years of hardship .
Douglas concluded : “ Despite the negative media headlines there is a huge amount of opportunity in African and Middle Eastern countries . The message I want to give is that we are here to stay .”
