Greetings from the Mark Williams family! Our Q3 newsletter aims to be a window into our world, showcasing the myriad milestones, growth spurts, and stories we’ve woven together over the past three months. As the seasons change, our commitment to excellence remains unwavering, reflected in our diverse array of achievements. From welcoming fresh faces to celebrating the successes of our interns-turned-full-timers, this quarter was truly special.
A Deeper Dive into Q3 Highlights
- Evolving Team Dynamics: Mark Williams’ strength has always stemmed from its team. This quarter, we proudly welcomed Ray Chola and Sonny Meddle. Ray, with her flair for graphic design, has amplified our brand resonance across digital platforms, while Sonny’s rich expertise from the UK in technology recruitment adds depth to our recruitment spectrum.

- Embracing Emiratisation: Our dedication to the Emiratisation initiative culminated in the launch of emiratisationrecruitment.com. This portal stands as a testament to our 14-year commitment to recruiting and placing UAE nationals, serving as a comprehensive hub for employers and job seekers alike.
Company Chronicles and Updates
The narrative of Mark Williams is enriched by the stories of its team members. This quarter, two shining examples of dedication and hard work have been Fathima Quraishi and Melissa D’Souza.

It’s collaborations like these that underline our brand’s commitment to industry-leading initiatives.
