In Reda's Words
Building Access Holding to what it is today has been fun and rewarding. Perhaps the biggest reward I got out of the success of Access Holding and its subsidiaries was finally having the ability to do what I "want" to do. The following quote from Oprah Winfrey perfectly sums it up:
"Do what you have to do until you can do what you want."
With Access Holding, I have done what I had to do. Today together with Celine, at Recee AS and its subsidiaries I am doing what I want to do. For as long as I can, I want to wake up every morning knowing that I am working for Recee, trying my best to give her a chance to live in a better world than the one we live in.
