Yusuffali MA, managing director of Lulu Group
UAE-based retail major Lulu Group will generate 600 jobs for Bahrainis by the end of 2016. This was announced at a ceremony to honour Lulu Group managing director Yusuffali MA with “Wessam Al Bahrain” – Medal of Bahrain – Order of the King – for his contribution in the Kingdom’s economy. The group currently employs over 1,000 Bahrainis across its hypermarkets and malls in the Kingdom.
