He is also the new Chairman of EFS Facilities Services Bahrain W.L.L. Craine has a proven record of delivering high quality and dynamic operations with a customer service focus and is a 30- year veteran of the real estate industry, having spent the last 11 years in the Middle East after starting his career in the UK.

Harbour Towers is at the heart of business life in Bahrain with over 100 occupiers in 25 different industries ranging from the media and technology sector through to banking and finance.

“Bahrain Financial Harbour is not just Bahrain’s best business address but we are also becoming a premier lifestyle destination in a new phase of growth with the delivery of 1,000 residential units, two hotels, and new food and beverage concepts due to open in the next 12 months. I look forward to leading Bahrain Financial Harbour through the next stage of its evolution.”
