Chalhoub and Jamjoom Group, which specializes in luxury in the Middle East, recently held its 9th annual meeting in Assilah Hotel, Jeddah, attended by the representatives and top management of the group’s 11 companies.
The annual meeting highlighted the group’s plans in line with the Saudi Vision 2030. Additionally, it was an opportunity for showcasing the group’s achievements on a local and regional level for the year 2016, which include solid marketing strategies, new branch openings and business expansions, as well as successfully meeting the feminization and nationalization labor regulations of its workforce.
Patrick Chalhoub, Chalhoub and Jamjoom Group CEO and owner, praised the efforts of the group’s employees.
He said the group’s values of respect, entrepreneurial spirit and excellence in service are the factors allowing the company to enjoy its leading position in the market.
Khaled Al-Saggaf, head of human resources, said: “Part of the group’s success is in framing out solid work strategies compliant with the Kingdom’s labor rules and regulations. The group’s success is attributed to the feminization of all retail posts in exhibitions specialized in women’s luxury products.”
He stressed on the importance of recruiting Saudis as an importance factor in hiring. “The group offers job opportunities to Saudis on both technical and administrative levels. This includes the launch of the Saudi Graduates Program, which was successful in attracting talented Saudi graduates from prestigious local and global universities and integrating them into the group’s different departments offering them first-hand work experience.”
He said the company supports its employees in fulfilling their career development aspirations by providing them training opportunities.
“Chalhoub & Jamjoom Group will continue to plan and operate on strategies that contribute to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 effectively and efficiently,” Al-Saggaf said.

ALJ Motors champions Toyota SUVs’ off-road legacy
Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, the authorized distributor of Toyota vehicles in Saudi Arabia since 1955, has launched the second edition of its off-road initiative — an immersive driving experience designed to engage guests and showcase the real-world capabilities of Toyota’s SUV lineup in the Kingdom’s desert terrains. The activation takes place on weekends, starting initially in Riyadh and continuing through Jeddah, before concluding in Dammam on Jan. 24.
The multi-city activation is designed to engage guests through Toyota’s SUV lineup in fun and exciting ways, offering a hands-on opportunity to experience vehicle performance, control, and versatility. The lineup features a wide range of Toyota SUV models, including the Land Cruiser HEV Max, a hybrid vehicle built for performance. Beyond the off-road drives, the activation offers a welcoming weekend setting with supporting activities suitable for families and younger guests, creating a well-rounded experience for visitors of all ages.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, which welcomed more than 4,500 participants and attracted over 10,000 attendees, the second edition continues to focus on meaningful guest engagement through interactive and experiential driving activities while emphasizing safety, trust, and enjoyment. Through this approach, ALJ Motors champions Toyota’s off-road legacy while creating an experience that further connects guests with Toyota’s renowned SUV lineup.
Shahad Nassier, managing director of marketing communications at ALJ Motors, said: “Following the strong response to the inaugural season, the return of this off-road experience allows us to continue engaging our guests in an authentic and exciting way. In this second edition, we have further refined the driving routes and elevated the overall experience to better serve our guests and their families. By bringing Toyota’s SUV lineup into real desert environments, we provide an opportunity for guests to experience vehicle performance firsthand, while reinforcing the values of reliability and capability that have long defined Toyota’s presence in the Kingdom.”
The experiential initiative deepens guest relationships, supports informed vehicle choice, and reflects ALJ Motors’ ongoing role in delivering reliable and diversified mobility solutions across the Kingdom, in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
