Empost, the UAE's national courier company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Emirates Post, has appointed Sultan Al Midfa its Deputy General Manager as new General Manager. The appointment of Sultan Al Midfa, comes after the retirement of Essa Al Daboos.
Sultan Al Midfa has served in the position of Deputy General Manager for two years after he joined Empost in 2003. Prior to that he was the Head of International Affairs at Emirates Post, after undergoing training at Royal Mail in the UK in 1998. Al Midfa joined Emirates Post in 1997 after graduating in Business Administration from Higher Colleges of Technology in the UAE.
Commenting on his appointment, Al Midfa said: "Being appointed as the General Manager of Empost is a great honor, but will certainly not belittle the effort needed to achieve strategic goals for the organisation. The immediate focus for Empost would be to expand the reach of our local and international courier services and introducing more innovative services."
"My predecessor has done an excellent job during his tenure. I am resolved to build upon work, and seek to turn Empost into one of the most efficient courier services in the region," Al Midfa added.
Following Al Midfa’s elevation as the General Manager, Abdullah Ibrahim Al Juwaied has been appointed as Deputy General Manager. Al Juwaied is one among the first UAE nationals to attain training in Postal Services. Al Juwaied joined Emirates Post in 1988 in the Operations Department. Al Juwaied was appointed Manager of Dubai Postal Offices in 2000, where he was responsible for ensuring the overall quality of the postal services.
Opining on his appointment, Al Juwaied said, “Empost is a very vibrant organisation and as the Deputy General Manager, I will seek to ensure constant development of employee skills and improved levels of performance through various training and motivational programs. Measures will also be taken to ensure that our customers are provided the highest quality of service."
