Every year, Carriage Kuwait’s fast growing and expanding logistics delivery service celebrates its employees. And this year they have more to celebrate, they have expanded their operations in KSA, UAE, Qatar and Bahrain, while still managing to enter new markets in the region like Egypt.
Yousif Abdulaziz, CEO, gave a heartfelt speech which reiterated the company’s success while constantly meeting and exceeding expectations while dealing with challenging obstacles and meeting them all head on. The past year witnessed the addition of new delivery categories like Electronics and Gaming, Pet Supplies and growth in the older categories like Restaurants, Cosmetics, Groceries, Health Supplements, and Pharmacies. He acknowledged that these accomplishments are owed to the 750 employees in the head office and the 8000+ drivers in the region.
Yousif Abdulaziz also mentioned “One of Carriage’s biggest accomplishment this year was the launch of Carriage Black- the new subscription service that allows users to obtain free delivery on all their orders throughout the month, for a small affordable fee. This service is the first of its kind in the region, as it started in Kuwait and is being developed for launching in the rest of the countries around the region as well.”
The event which took place at Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel was an opportunity to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and to look at future goals. Abdulaziz outlined the vision for the coming year and focused on customer satisfaction, ensuring that the key was stronger and better inter-department communications. The company COO, Bader Al Ajeel highlighted upcoming projects including nurturing and encouraging a community atmosphere for their drivers who are an important backbone of the entire operation.

Acting CMO, Mohammad Itani spoke about the recent rebranding that happened. The changes in the logo and the color are a reflection of the big change that the company has been undergoing. It is a move in the right direction which aligns with the goals that the company has in store for the upcoming year, and it also gives the users a fresh new feel.
It wasn’t just business as usual, this was a celebratory party, after all. The company awarded Carriage’s oldest employees that have remained in the company since its start, which is an amazing feat in today’s quick startup culture. After that was when the real fun started, fun activities during the event like eating contests, stand-up comedy, team building competitions and more.
The company had also invited some of Kuwait’s favorite social media influencers, like Noha Nabeel, Ahmad Al Zamel, Fawaz AL Eissa, and more. Their presence at what is normally an internal company affair is another reflection of Carriage’s commitment to the idea of community and that everyone should be invited, acknowledged and celebrated.
