About Us
First, our founder required an office space, receptionist then secretarial support. Soon he realised these costs were eating into his profits and the team and space were not used 100%, so he looked to share these to reduce his overheads.
In 2015 from a corner office in the Seef Bahrain the founder took a piece a chalk to divide up the space – and Apricot was born! The idea took hold and evolved organically and in just 12 months, a full 2 floors within the building were occupied along with 1 location in Sitra.
Growth steadily continued, pioneering the Virtual Office concept in 2015 and expansion into other countries.
