Founder

Al Alyan Group was established by Mr. Yousef S. Al Alyan since 1974 when it began operations. Mr. Al Alyan’s natural pursuit of his passion for the business came after becoming Kuwait’s first holder of a Master’s degree from the prestigious London School of Economics of the United Kingdom during the late 1940’s. Foresight to the needs of this exponentially growing region drove him to invest in the establishment of his multiple business interests. Notably, Mr. Al Alyan is the father of modern journalism in Kuwait publishing the Arabian Gulf’s first daily broadsheet - Kuwait Times Newspaper – in the English language 1961.
