Milne: a ‘perfect’ opportunity

Hilal Computer & Technical for Trade Company (Hilal CTTC) Saudi Arabia, a leading authorised dealer in the kingdom for US computer technology multi-national Dell, participated in the third Middle East Process Engineering Conference & Exhibition (Mepec 2015).

Geoffrey Milne, group general manager of Hilal CTTC, described Mepec 2015 as the perfect opportunity for Hilal CTTC to promote the recent opening of its new offices in Jubail Industrial City, located in Saudi Arabia’s industrial powerhouse for process industries.

“Many of the blue-chip companies operating in Jubail already capitalise on Hilal CTTC’s expertise and use Dell technologies and IT solutions. By participating in Mepec 2015, however, we are able to connect with a wider scope of decision-makers within the process industry and promote Hilal CTTC’s credentials as a solutions provider for some of the IT demands and challenges the process industry faces.” 

Hilal CTTC, part of the Bahrain-based Northstar Group of companies, has four offices in Saudi Arabia (Al Khobar, Riyadh, Jeddah and Jubail), and continues to go from strength to strength. The company continues to define new standards, with a benchmarked delivery of services and expertise in infrastructure, performance analysis, cyber security, cloud computing, risk management, business consulting, testing and benchmarking, business impact analysis and e-learning

Last year Hilal CTTC won the coveted Dell 2014 EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Partner of the Year Award for its strong sales and revenue performance, in addition to a Platinum Award for a contract to supply solutions and services for a major strategic energy project in Saudi Arabia.
