HSBC UAE sets a Guinness World Record as it opens its new UAE headquarters in Dubai, by breaking the record for the Most Nationalities in a Static Bike Cycling Relay.
A group of 344 members of the bank's staff, including Abdulfattah Sharaf CEO of HSBC UAE, who all hailed from 68 different nationalities, pedalled on static cycles and beat the previous record of 53 nationalities, set in June 2018.
The record-breaking event marked the inauguration of the USD250 million HSBC Tower in Dubai.
Abdulfattah Sharaf said, “This achievement is a celebration of the diversity of the global banking talent at HSBC – both Emiratis and international staff – and the ambitions we have to continue to help make history here in the UAE.”
