He explained that the expansion plan includes entering the Saudi and Kuwaiti markets, by organising auctions on vehicles, real estate and unique numbers in these markets, adding that the company has become the preferred destination for auctions in the country, where it has captured 95 percent of the auction market in the UAE and Bahrain.

All these improvements will take place as part of the company’s ambitious expansion plan.
