He began in the engine department and later moved into a supervisory role overseeing spare-parts warehouses for cars and trucks. He was then promoted and assigned responsibility for importing <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
what the company needed from abroad. This marked a turning point: the role gave him valuable experience in business practices and helped strengthen his English. Later, <\/span><\/div>\n

he was appointed as a translator in the Government Relations Department and became the company\u2019s official interpreter during King Abdulaziz\u2019s visit to the oil facilities in Dhahran.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
a road transport company that helped build the Tapline to transport oil. In 1954, Suleiman Al-Olayan launched a general trading company, which expanded its operations during the oil boom. <\/span><\/div>\n
