Right from the outset, we wanted to be different by providing a level of service and value that was unmatched locally. This desire has led to continuous growth and has attracted the best talent.
GMCS was established in 2012 as Gordon Moffat Consultancy Services by Gordon Moffat, specialising in dispute resolution, expert services, and claims management. Today, the company is led by Gordon Moffat and Paul Ascroft.
Gordon Moffat, our CEO, is originally from Glasgow, Scotland, and has worked extensively across the Middle East and Africa since 1984.
