Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Hub – Transport Advisory, a UK-headquartered specialist transport sector consultancy, announced its official expansion into Saudi Arabia with the support of AstroLabs, as part of its global growth strategy.

This milestone comes as Saudi Arabia accelerates the transformation of its transport and infrastructure sectors under Vision 2030 and aligns with the National Transport and Logistics Strategy's vision to position the Kingdom as a global transport and logistics hub, according to the official statement released today.

The Hub provides commercial, strategic, transformation, and financial and economic advisory services across the global transport sector, helping public and private sector clients address some of the industry's most complex challenges.

The expansion reinforces The Hub’s commitment to the Saudi transport market, as the company is already supporting Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) on a strategic project and is actively engaged in helping clients navigate the opportunities created by the Kingdom's thriving economy.

Fouad Fattal, Vice President of Commercial at AstroLabs, said: “Saudi Arabia’s transport and infrastructure buildout is among the most ambitious anywhere in the world, and delivering it requires deep, specialized advisory expertise on the ground. The Hub enters the market with a strong track record across commercial, strategic, and financial advisory in the transport sector, bringing valuable international expertise to support the Kingdom’s continued infrastructure transformation.”

On the other side, Pieter Meulendijk-de Mol, Director at The Hub, commented: “Having already supported clients on strategic transport initiatives in the Kingdom, establishing a permanent presence is a natural next step for The Hub. Saudi Arabia is setting a global benchmark for investment in transport and infrastructure, and we look forward to working alongside our clients and partners to help deliver programs that support the Kingdom's long-term economic and mobility ambitions.”

From the Saudi base, The Hub will continue to build long-term partnerships and support the delivery of transport projects that advance the Kingdom’s connectivity, economic diversification, and sustainable growth ambitions.
