UAE-based construction firm Alec has resumed on-site and in-office operations across its UAE projects from 4 March.

In a statement, the company said that it is working closely with clients to ensure a prompt and safe return to full-scale activity.

The move follows a temporary work-from-home policy introduced across the company’s UAE operations in response to ongoing events, as Alec Holdings reaffirmed its commitment to protecting its workforce while continuing to deliver in clients’ best interests.

During the same period, the company said its operations in Saudi Arabia remained fully operational.

Alec also confirmed it remains on track to hold its first Annual General Assembly meeting post-listing on 24 March, in line with regulatory guidelines.

Barry Lewis, CEO of Alec Holdings, said the company’s “priority is, and always will be, the safety and security of our workforce”, adding that Alec was grateful to clients for their support.

“That trust has been built over decades of delivering on our promises, and it is something we value deeply,” he said.

Lewis added that the company would continue to focus on transparency and close collaboration with clients and partners to maintain safety across sites and offices.

Lewis also pointed to Alec’s investments in digital collaboration platforms, workforce management systems and enhanced security protocols, describing them as “tried and tested” capabilities that have helped keep projects on track while protecting employees.

He said the company remained confident in the resilience of its operations and its ability to adapt responsibly as circumstances evolve.
