Testimonials
Thrilled to celebrate the remarkable 30th of Unique Group
On behalf of Safeen Surveys and Subsea Services, I’m thrilled to celebrate the remarkable 30th anniversary of Unique Group. Our enduring partnership and collaboration with Unique Group has thrived through long-standing contracts and mutual success. Unique Group’s unwavering commitment to excellence and their impressive three-decade legacy have been instrumental in shaping our journey together, and we eagerly anticipate many more years of shared accomplishments and achievements.
Congratulations to Unique Group on their 30th anniversary!
Unique Group has been an important representative to EIVA since 2005, when they quickly proved themselves to be an invaluable partner in sailing out EIVA’s NaviSuite software solutions for offshore engineering, inspections and more. We are truly grateful for this long-standing relationship and look forward to many more years with Unique Group.
On behalf of ADNOC Logistics and Services
We extend our sincere congratulations to Unique Group on reaching their extraordinary 30-year achievement. Unique Group has been a long-standing partner to ADNOC L&S supporting our Fleet Operations and subsea services. We value their contribution to our success and look forward to continuous fruitful collaboration for many years to come.
Coming to the Middle East 10 years ago
From a deepwater centric subsea world dominated by Aberdeen, Houston, West Africa, Singapore and Perth I quickly came across Unique in Sharjah. As we have seen across the community here in the region, Unique has been leading the subsea industry from the front and among a select but growing group of local companies in the region focusing on this exciting industry. It’s fantastic to see how the vision and commitment of Harry Gandhi has developed the company into a world player over the last 30 years and good luck to Sahil as he takes the reins. Built around a solid and innovative platform of products and services, the single greatest differentiator is a team of dedicated professionals amongst whom I have professional respect and can count many friends. Good luck for the next 30!”
