The Hairu Group of Companies which at present comprises of 21 diversified companies and still propelled to grow had its beginnings in 1994 when Eng Z. M. Hairu formed a small company under the name & style of Hairu Associates. At the outset the scope and extent of the business was limited to design of residential premises and supporting construction companies with consultancy services. To facilitate its core business and to provide excellent service to its clients Hairu Associates later incorporated an associate company Premier Development & Technology (Private) Limited. Additionally it was extended to provide IT education along with software solutions.

The growth phase with more complex design and consultancy assignments were initiated in 2010 by obtaining an award from the Qatari government for the development of the Fisheries sector in the Union of Comoros. From this point the company began expanding steadily, embarking upon ambitious projects in the energy sector locally as well as securing further assignments in Comoros and in other African countries, resultantly creating local and foreign joint ventures. The partnering model the company used was based on mutual respect and the understanding that partners provided the essential knowledge to develop its regional markets together with the belief that its strength lay in its human resources. These principles still prevail today in the ongoing growth of the company and are very much the culture of the organization.
