Bringing in additional senior-level expertise was the natural step to maximise its market position and realise its plans. I immediately identified with where the company is today and what’s needed to help drive it forward. The UAE design and build sector is an exciting landscape for a company of Verve’s calibre, and we are aligning our growth with raising quality standards across every part of the business.
“What also excited me about Verve is its culture. This is a company where people genuinely enjoy what they do, take pride in their work, and feel connected to the brand. When the owners of a business have that mindset, it is an easy decision to come on board.”
Azeem Mirza, Founder and Managing Director of Verve Interior Design & Build, added: “We appreciated Kevin’s extensive experience in design and build, but just as importantly, we wanted a CEO who shared our philosophy as a business. Verve is a forward-thinking company built on the strength of its people, and Kevin is helping to shape those teams and lead us on the next stage. We’re delighted he has joined, and his impact is already being felt across the business.”
