Omnium marks 30 years in the UAE with a glittering celebration

Celebrating 30 years of specialist construction consultancy in the UAE

In November, Omnium’s UAE branch office teams joined together to celebrate an historic milestone for our organisation.

Marking 30 years since we first started business in the UAE, our colleagues were treated to an evening to remember, looking back at how Omnium has evolved and grown over three decades while moving forward to the future and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Omnium’s UAE Pearl Anniversary – celebrated in the city famously founded on pearl diving – is a moment of pride for an organisation that boasts a timeline rich in industry firsts, internationally-recognised architecture and a pioneering, unique approach to construction consultancy that has Built Lasting Partnerships since our earliest work at DUBAL.

A business built on partnerships

Over 200 people attended our celebration at the Hilton JBR, growing from a team of just two – former Chairman Bob Cawkwell, and current Chairman Peter Westeng – in 1995.

Since then, Omnium’s uniqueness has remained its commitment to, and from, its people. Our award-winning team is supported by industry-recognised initiatives to deliver long-term careers, learning and development opportunities, and diverse career pathways, consistently innovating and evolving in order to maintain quality and consistency in our services.

Now a trusted construction consultancy partner to the region’s most influential developers, architects, designers and public bodies, Omnium’s enviable UAE portfolio includes some of the world’s most significant, and record-breaking, structures, including the Burj Khalifa, One Za’abeel, Expo 2020 Pavilions, Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and Dubai Hills Estate. In the coming years, our work will continue to develop our regional communities, as projects such as Abu Dhabi’s Sea La Vie and Dubai’s Palm Jebel Ali come to life.

Through our reputation for partnership-building, accuracy and clarity in our services, and our professional management that delivers projects efficiently and to budget, Omnium’s UAE teams celebrate 30 years of inspiring positive change for our communities and look forward to the years ahead.
