Shwan Al Mulla, a London-based Iraqi Kurd, founded the ICCB (Iraqi Consultants and Construction Bureau) in 2003, after conducting business for 26 years between the UK, South East Asia, and Iraq. Under Mulla’s entrepreneurial leadership, the ICCB has become one of Iraq’s largest privately owned construction companies, with a staff of 2000 and a turnover in excess of $100m. The ICCB Group has also expanded its activities to include oil and gas, power generation, transport and rail, and water.
With its head office in Baghdad, the ICCB Group has seven offices in Iraq and international support offices in Amman, Manama and Geneva.
Al Mulla also has major investments in the region in various sectors that include trade, media, telecommunications, sport, and distribution. The group is the exclusive distributor of Daewoo-Doosan heavy machinery and Gehl-Mustang compact construction equipment in Iraq; an authorised dealer of Scania Trucks and Daimler Chrysler; Iraq distributor of i2, the largest GSM mobile distributor and retailer in the Middle East and Africa specialising in Nokia and Motorola handsets; distributor of Showtime Pay-TV in more than 14 countries with exclusivity; publisher of Nox & Skin magazines; and founder of K1 Professional Kart Racing.
But the main focus of Al Mulla’s activities is on the reconstruction of Iraq through projects such as Empire World and the ICCB’s Industrial City that already has five factories specialising in construction-related materials, motivated by his belief in the vital role of the private sector in creating prosperity and promoting social and political stability. He is also a major donor to philanthropic causes.
