Last week, our team, our valued distributor partners, key media and content creators, Mustang club members, and Ford International Markets Group President Kay Hart landed in Bahrain to introduce the all-new #MustangDarkHorse to the region, host the annual Distributor Conference, and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our partners in 2023. For our customers in the Middle East, distributors are the face of the Ford and Lincoln brands. The coveted Henry Ford Excellence Award and Lincoln President’s Awards serve to celebrate the dedicated efforts of our partners to ensure customers are made to feel like family – efforts that have helped Ford Middle East achieve 29% year-on-year growth in the first quarter of this year.  We were also able to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the world’s most iconic muscle car in the best possible way – on the track at Bahrain International Circuit, which was definitely a highlight of the Bahrain visit for many attendees, as was our Ford Bronco offroad experience. Special thanks to the entire Almoayyed Motors - Ford Bahrain family, our Bahrain partner, for their generous hospitality.   Ravichandran Swaminathan ( Ravi ) #Mustang60 #FordMiddleEast #WeAreFord

We had a great Women at Ford session this afternoon with Sondra Sutton P. General Manager Global Truck, that was as truly insightful and enlightening. We gained invaluable insights that will significantly influence us all as women and professional leaders at Ford. We also had a fireside chat with Sondra, Mario Brandini Vehicle Program Director Global Truck, and Steven Crosby IMG Product Development Director. The team got the chance to discuss whatever was on their minds related to the trucks business. Thank you for visiting us! #WomenatFord #WeAreFord #Empowerment

It’s a special story today! Our very own Deepak Coilparampil, Information Technology Specialist and member of ME4x4, heeded the call for assistance that echoed through social media platforms when floods struck after the rainfall in the UAE last April. What did he do? Simple. He loaded up his Ford Bronco with essential supplies and embarked on a journey through treacherous conditions to reach stranded residents in Sharjah. When faced with adversity, Deepak and his team persevered, delivering over 6,000 packages of food and water to those in need. Their efforts didn't stop there. With unwavering determination, they extended their support to conduct rescue operations, ensuring the safety of vulnerable individuals amidst the chaos.   In times of crisis, it's the acts of kindness, collaboration, and solidarity that illuminate the path forward. Deepak's story serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us of the strength found in unity and the unwavering spirit of the UAE community.

In the face of adversity, during the recent unprecedented Dubai floods, Ahmad M. Darwish Ali Al Emadi ‘s courage and selfless act are truly appreciated. Ahmad was able to come to the aid of his friend’s seven-day-old baby, who was in need of urgent medical attention, braving waist-high flood waters in his newly acquired Ford F-150. His swift and selfless action saved a life and exemplified the power of community spirit. The heroic actions of Ahmad and many others serve as a beacon of inspiration, reminding us of the profound impact we can make when we act to serve the greater good. Thank you to all these local heroes- let us strive to follow their example to make a positive difference, however we can.

Earlier this month, Ford Middle East broke ground for a state-of-the-art Parts Distribution Center at Dubai World Central, in collaboration with DB Schenker and Atlantic Warehousing DWC. This impressive 41,792 sq-m facility, which aims to be fully operational by January 2025, is designed to streamline our parts storage and distribution processes. Ultimately, this will drive better availability, more efficient inventory management, and an improved experience for our customers in the region.
