The Al-Futtaim Automotive Group has opened a fully-fledged technical training school at its CMC Motors complex in Nairobi.
The opening of the first Al-Futtaim Automotive Academy in Sub Sahara Africa is part of the Dubai based automotive firm’s strategy to boost its customer experience and after sales capacity in East Africa.
Speaking when he officiated at the opening of the new purpose equipped training facility, the visiting Al-Futtaim Automotive Group President, Len Hunt said the state-of-the-art technical facility, underpins the firm’s commitment to deepen skills in the local automotive market.
From his Dubai base, Mr Hunt, leads a portfolio of automotive businesses operating in 14 countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Hunt, who was accompanied by CMC Motors CEO Mark Kass and Managing Director, Mr Wanjohi Kangangi confirmed that the conglomerate is sparing no effort to reclaim CMC Motors glory.
Barely two years into Al-Futtaim’s CMC Group acquisition, Hunt disclosed that the firm is doing “very well” with continuous corporate investment and expansion programmes now underway.
“Through the CMC Group, the Al-Futtaim Automotive Group is doing very well on our first foray into sub-Sahara Africa as we continue to invest and expand,” Hunt said.
