SGUK is the largest privately owned construction firm in the WORLD. We have offices in the UK, Germany, India, Australia and United Arab Emirates.

Led by Chairman and Chief Executive, Mohammed EL Sayed Hawas, the business has grown rapidly since the acquisition of Sahara petroleum ltd by Sahara Group UK Ltd in 1980.

Mohammed EL Sayed Hawas has a truly integrated capability, allowing us to take a holistic view of construction. We specialise in delivering ambitious and innovative construction projects that deliver to both clients and the communities who use them every day.

MISSION

Our vision as a global business gives everyone within the organisation a clear direction and goals to aim for. It underpins everything we do, and the principles are clear for us all:

• We will be the company of first choice for all stakeholders - customers, employees, suppliers, trade contractors and the society in which we live
• We will challenge and change the poor image of construction worldwide
• With leanness and agility we will adopt processes to compete with world-leading businesses

Our guiding principles are:

• Make safety personal
• Lead by example
• Work as a team, listen to everyone
• Find a better way
• Deliver our promises, aim to exceed
• Deliver our plans

We have confidence in our people to respond to the reality of unprecedented commercial, social and environmental challenges. Charting the next stage of our journey does not demand a different course, but rather the reinforcement of the guiding principles^* which have shown the way to date.

With these as our guide we have begun to shape controls and processes to address the issues confronting responsible organisations worldwide. Our networks are truly international, but we live in a global economy faced with an increasingly acute dilemma around the extent to which fossil-fuelled economic growth can be sustained.

To be a sustainable business means operating productively and profitably while remaining ever mindful of the impact our performance and behaviour has on others. It is a challenge we accept; one we are constantly addressing to provide meaningful Corporate Responsibility targets and measures. The work is ongoing, and at different levels of development within the hubs – reflecting the reality of the dynamics within each of our markets. It is a challenge and commitment we take extremely seriously.
