Emirates Stallions Group (ESG) has bought a 70 percent stake in WFC Holding as part of its plan to diversify into new areas, the company said on Wednesday.

ESG said WFC Holding, which encompasses business process outsourcing and manpower outsourcing services, will complement its mainstream construction and real estate business and take advantage of growing demand in the UAE.

A bourse filing by ESG said WFC Holding’s revenue reached AED 405 million ($113 million) in 2020, up from AED 90 million in 2019, with a net profit of AED 15 million, compared to AED 6 million in 2019.
