Est. 1914The Group
The Boreh Group is a global investment company headquartered in Dubai, with presence in London, France, East Africa and Singapore. We invest with patient capital, a long-term horizon, and a governance structure built to institutional standards.
Heritage
The Boreh family is a prominent and respected name with roots across the Horn of Africa — recognized for generations for business leadership, fairness and philanthropy, and notably prominent in the peaceful process leading to the independence of Djibouti in 1977.
Over a century ago, the family established a successful trade in livestock, coffee beans and textiles from Ethiopia to the markets of Somalia, Djibouti and beyond. That foundation grew into a large group of companies spanning trading, services, investments and construction — carried today by its third and fourth generations with a strong African-Arabic-European culture.
