Chapters, not just facts

01

Beirut, 1954

The family line begins on Beirut's harbour, where a childhood around the water shaped an eye for trade long before Scotland entered the picture.

02

Aberdeen, 1975–1982

The move to Aberdeen's ports and docks placed Sultan Al Shene inside the daily rhythm of North Sea landings years before he owned a single plant.

03

Factories, 1982–1995

Seafood processing factories built through this period turned dockside knowledge into a repeatable operation, the base the later holding was built on.
