JLL strengthens facilities management value proposition in Saudi Arabia amidst booming market
Saudi Arabia’s facilities management (FM) market is experiencing unprecedented growth, fuelled by Vision 2030 mega projects and a national drive for smart, sustainable infrastructure solutions. To capitalise on this momentum and leverage its value proposition, JLL, the leading professional services firm specialised in real estate, investment management and development consultancy services, has appointed Jawad Altamimi as Head of Property & Facilities Management Consultancy for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
