Initial Saudi Arabia Ltd. (ISAL), in its mission statement, emphasizes on its commitment to provide services that consistently meet our client’s needs and expectations of quality.
The mission statement was echoed by Faris Z. Bundakji, the chairman, who mentioned that “The primary objective of the organization is to satisfy customer needs and expectations by providing services that consistently meet or exceed the specified and implied requirements in order to engender repeat and new business.”
Furthermore, he added, “The Quality Management System is continually monitored and evaluated for its applicability and effectiveness and to establish quality objectives and opportunities for continual improvement through internal auditing, management review and review of performance trends. It is our policy to ensure that all employees are fully aware of their responsibilities within the Quality Management System and are appropriately trained to ensure its continued effectiveness”.
ISAL was established as a joint venture in 1983 with the world’s leading maintenance service group: Initial Plc., UK, a 120-year service company today merged with Rentokil employing over 70,000 staff known today as Rentokil Initial. It currently operates out of 40 countries from 320 locations worldwide, which is listed on the FTSE 100 with a registered GBP 2.1 Billion Turnover as of 2006 fiscal year end.
However, in 1986, the Saudi owners acquired the remaining equity stake in addition to other service companies namely; Duraclean USA and Al-Sawary Security Guard Services, thus forming the Initial Group of Companies.
Subsequently, ISAL received its ISO 9001:2008 certification (Certificate # 27029) from Moody’s International back in 2004 thus reflecting our adherence and commitment to quality.
The group has grown consistently over the years due to the vision of its chairman, MD and CEO to invest in its employees in terms of training, health and personal well being as well as bridging a sense of team spirit to the 9,394 workforce it possesses.
“Likewise, by anticipating and understanding our clients’ needs, this has been a significant attribute to our success. As one of the pioneers in the industry, it is equally important for us to be abreast of the conditions of the Saudi economy and its pertinent regulations to ensure compliance and continuity for our clients.
“Our banquet of services is supported by a dedicated management team who strive for quality performance excellence in varied market conditions.
