HUMANS OF AUTOMECH —————————-

This month, on Humans of Automech, we are featuring Joseph Lawrence Lewis, one of the first employees at the Automech Group.

Joseph reminisced about his journey with Automech, which has spanned for over three decades. Arriving in the UAE in 1988, he started his career working at a local construction company. He fondly relates how he was called in to work for Automech by the founders, “on December 16 1991, I was the first employee, along with the two founding partners, and now the company has more than 1000 people employed.”

During the initial years, Joseph was involved in different divisions within the company. He worked as a foreman and within the machinery division, and as he talks about these early years, he laughs and says, “if no one was available to do the job, I did it.”  Currently, a sales and project supervisor, he says “I gained lots of knowledge in knowing the management at Automech, joining them, and growing with them… as the company grows, so I grow.”

When asked why he stayed with Automech for over 30 years, he shares with admirable humility, “the company feels like a family, management at Automech do not put any distinction between employee and the boss, there is no hierarchy… they are empathetic and understanding, the management is great.” He further relates “I want to keep taking things forward, I have been with Automech since inception and want to keep it growing. We started as a small company of 3 people, now we have a range of companies… the company’s growth keeps me going.”

He shares that his family would like for him to retire and move back to their home country; however, for the time being, Joseph wants to continue working. He shares some words of wisdom to prospective individuals who want to be part of the Automech Group, “work hard, if you lack something, ask… hard work, commitment, and a sense of responsibility are needed, and think of Automech as your own company.” When asked what he will remember most from his time with Automech after he retires, he gracefully says, “my relationship with Automech.”

HUMANS OF AUTOMECH —————————- On this month’s edition of the ‘Humans of Automech’, we were honoured to have with us, the founder and chairman of the ‘Automech Group’, Mr. Jagjit Gouri.  

“I’ve always had an unquantifiable passion to do great, and I’ve always believed God will show us the way,” he says. Hailing from a business family, he’s one of 7 siblings and is happy to call Dubai his home for the last 40 years.

“In the year 1976, I took part in the Indian Machine Tools show in Dubai and was personally invited by the revered His Highness the late Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum to set up a base in Dubai,” he relates.

‘Gouri Trading Company’, was one of my first ventures, selling machine tools and other equipment.  Then in the year 1991, we started ‘Automech engineering’, which was geared towards the local shipping industry. Since its inception, we put all our hearts, sweat and tears into it, and our business grew by leaps and bounds… It gives me extreme joy to say that we were able to be a part of the greatest show on earth, the Expo Dubai 2020, as our team built the Mobility Pavilion. From humble beginnings of 10 employees, today we are a happy family of over 500 people.”

He further adds, “I strongly believe that our biggest asset is our people. I run Automech, along with my 3 sons who are blessed with sharp business acumen. They all share a wonderful camaraderie and they are equally involved in the business. All their hard work is palpable as they’ve have always had a clairvoyant vision of what we’ve wanted to achieve as a group. God has been really kind.”

“It has been a magnificent journey so far and we have been blessed with tremendous success over the years. The UAE Government has been extremely supportive and they have continued to give me, my family, and everyone at Automech, more opportunities to grow on a platform that embodies innovation and progress.”

When asked about his retirement plans? “Retire, I’m just getting started,” he says with a beaming smile.

We held our sports fest 2022 last weekend and that meant only one thing: fun, fun, and more fun! It was all about embracing the spirit of sportsmanship and teamwork. Cricket, football and volleyball were organized. The arena was filled with enthusiasm, tight (but fun) competition, endless cheering, and feelings of tremendous excitement all around! Top teams were presented with awards for their outstanding performance during the games. Everyone was in great spirits and some absolutely wonderful memories were created to hold onto all summer long. A massive thanks to all who took part and made it a day to remember.
