Bassam Hamshari, CEO, THE NATIONAL SPARE PARTS CO. W.L.L
To be consistently successful in life, first, we have to fall in love with the work we do. It’s this passion that gives us the inspiration to overcome hurdles and move forward. The CEO of THE NATIONAL SPARE PARTS CO. W.L.L, ALGHANNAM GROUP, Bassam Hamshari’s growth as a stalwart businessman holds a mirror to this innate truth of life. National Spare Parts Company (NSP) was founded in 1958, by Hamshari’s father Lt. Mr. Naji Hassan Saleh Hamshari in partnership with Alghannam Group and It’s incorporated in the year 1962.Peeling back to his childhood days, since then, Bassam took an avid interest in the nature of the business they were in, which primarily dealt with selling spare parts for American Cars.
Unlike other kids of his age, who would love to spend their vacations exploring the Arabian pearls, Bassam used to visit their company on holidays and spend hours in their warehouses and sales counter watching and meditating on the Folk Lift operations, warehouse activities, and environment. It is his passion, inquisitiveness, and curiosity that kept him engaged for hours in the otherwise lackluster factory environment. So, the seed of entrepreneurship was already planted in his young mind, and in 1988 Hamshari joined his father’s company as a sales person and continued to work for 2 years in this position. During this period Hamshari worked in all departments and understood more about the overall activities of the firm. In the beginning of 1990 Hamshari stepped in to the position of General Manager.
Eventually, in the next year 1991, he was promoted to the office of Deputy C.E.O, and later in 2019, after the demise of his father, Bassam secured his position as the CEO of the company. Since his initial days to date, Bassam carried out his duty with utmost integrity, dedication, and responsibility, which upheld the values of NSP creating a legacy of serving the nation for a period spanning over 60 years.
