At the helm of the Al Humaidi Family’s vast business conglomerate is a surgeon-turned-business magnate, Dr. Abdulla Al Humaidi. He is the face behind the globally successful, family-owned investments spread across the UK, Ireland, Egypt, and Hong Kong. The Al Humaidi’s is no ordinary family. Despite rising into prominence a few decades ago, the Al Humaidi Family now belongs to the elite group of power families running the country’s business front. Theirs is Kuwaiti European Holding Group (KEH), an ambitious investment vehicle with various successful subsidiaries in the financial services, leisure, and real estate sectors. This family mainly focuses in the UK, where it owns Ebblesfleet United, a London-based investment firm, and the famed London Resort, among other businesses. Its businesses trace their roots to Kuwait but have since shifted to Mayfair, London, where its headquarters are currently located.

Outside the UK, the family also manages Al-Fouz, a Kuwait-based investment company, and Al-Robaeya, an online and offline listed trading firm, also based in Kuwait. Mediacorp Holding Company that primarily deals in healthcare and wellness products and services in the Gulf, is also part of the Al Humaidi Family. In Egypt, Hong Kong, and Ireland, KEH specializes in real estate, where it has different, fully-fledged subsidiaries. However, this merchant family’s path to success outside the Gulf country is quite fascinating. Apart from their history of running various successful businesses since the 1940s, their recent growth results from the current CEO, Dr. Abdulla Al Humaidi’s unmatched expertise. He has managed every single recent investment, oversaw their foray into the Egyptian tourism and real estate sector and Hong Kong’s bustling property sector. Moreover, he has done all these, turning a little-known holdings vehicle he helped create in 2008 into the vibrant and respectable company it is today.
