Doha, Qatar: Gulf Warehousing Company (GWC) – Qatar’s leading logistics services provider – has been named the National Winner for Qatar in the wastewater treatment sector for its sewage water treatment plant in the GWC Bu Sulba Warehousing Park. The award was announced as part of the 15th edition of the annual MEED Projects Awards, held in collaboration with Mashreq Bank. This recognition qualifies the company for the regional stage, where the MENA winners will be announced on 19 November 2025.
Sheikh Abdulla bin Fahad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, GWC Group Managing Director, said: “We are honoured to receive the MEED Projects Award at the national level, standing alongside a distinguished lineup of leading infrastructure projects across the Middle East and North Africa. This prestigious recognition underscores the quality of our project and the dedicated efforts invested in developing sustainable infrastructure that supports Qatar’s development journey in line with the Third National Development Strategy and Qatar National Vision 2030.”
He further stated: “This award not only celebrates our contribution to national development but also highlights the strategic importance of the Sewage Treatment Plant in the GWC Bu Sulba Warehousing Park. 
"It marks a milestone in our ongoing commitment to upholding the highest sustainability standards, safeguarding the environment, and advancing sustainable development and support to the Small & Medium Entreprises (SMEs),” Sheikh Abdulla added.
Matthew Kearns, GWC’s Acting Group CEO, stated: “This is the second award in just a few months for the Sewage Treatment Plant at the GWC Bu Sulba Warehousing Park, following its recognition in November 2024 as the ‘Best Water Recycling Initiative’ at the Tarsheed Energy Efficiency Forum, organized by Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (Kahramaa) as part of its National Program for Conservation and Energy Efficiency (Tarsheed). This achievement clearly highlights the project’s significance and serves as a strong motivation for GWC to continue advancing sustainable infrastructure, driving growth-oriented projects, and leading the development of the logistics services sector.”
