Our Services

Most  people have taken some steps to address their financial concerns, but many feel that more can be done. The problem is that most people do not have the ability to distance themselves from immediate concerns, the expertise to know what opportunities are the best, or the time to look at all possibilities.

At ICONS INTERNATIONAL GROUP, we work together with our Clients with four central tenets guiding us:

  • 1. Our Clients interest always comes first
  • 2. Take risks worth taking
  • 3. Every dollar counts
  • 4. Increase the chances of success

Frequently, investor sentiment toward a particular project, security or asset class can be carried to an extreme, affecting its valuation such that it embodies overly optimistic or pessimistic expectations. By employing a qualitative and analytical discipline that removes the emotion from the investment decision, we can consistently and successfully identify advantageous opportunities for our Clients. We will expose our Clients only to the best of those opportunities in the market according to our expertise in the development of International Business Opportunities, Capital Ventures, Joint Ventures, Projects, Acquisitions, New Company setup’s, or growth stock sector rather than on traditional institutional picks.

  • The identification of existing competitors in the markets concerned and potential new competitors. Managerial myopia in identifying competitive threats is a well recognized phenomenon. Identifying such threats is particularly problematic, since they may  arise from substitutability on the supply side as well as on the demand side. Managers or companies who focus only on the product market arena in scanning their competitive environment may fail to notice threats that are developing due to the resources and latent capabilities of indirect or potential competitors. At Icons we bring together insights from the fields of strategic management and marketing to develop a simple but powerful set of tools for helping managers overcome this common problem. At Icons we benchmark with competition.

ICONS CONSULTING: Bright futures for Qatar and Abu Dhabi

Construction suppliers now see Qatar and Abu Dhabi as the key places to do business, exhibitors at The Big 5 have said.

Investors are showing growing confidence in the Middle East, particularly Doha, where there is an opportunity to build new projects.

“We supply foundation pumps for piling, shoring and dewatering and a lot of our business is going on in Qatar and Abu Dhabi now as there are new projects developing there,” said Austin Parfett Foundations sales manager Devanand.

Devanand predicts business to pick up in Dubai in the next couple of months as his company has future projects planned in the emirate.

Wilo, a manufacturer and supplier of pumps and pump systems for heating, air-conditioning, cooling, water supply and sewage disposal agreed: “Local companies are investing in Qatar and Abu Dhabi. Developers and contractors feel comfortable starting new projects in the area because new developments are progressing at a steady pace and are not accelerating too quickly,” said the company managing director Simon Mrad.

Mrad explained that The Big 5 will give his company an opportunity to show the industry what it can do.

“We want to show delegates that we are here and ready to support and advice them. I predict that the exhibition will be a success.”

Wilo was the first company to introduce an electrical powered water pump, which is designed to save energy when circulating water around a building.

The company wishes to show that this kind of product can save energy and long term-costs.
