Good Morning
Last week saw the Arab Health trade show in Dubai (postponed from January this year). Whilst a much smaller affair than the mega-event that it’s become in recent years, attendees whom we spoke to confirmed that the quality vs quantity equation was firmly on the positive side of the ledger, with serious buyers & prospects at the show.
It was therefore unfortunate that the UAE’s ‘Red List’ status with the UK prevented there from being a formal physical UK presence for the first time in many years. The continued restrictions on bilateral travel hurts UK business interest in the UAE, particularly when other countries are able to make the journey.
As we have the UAE’s packaging industry as the major beneficiary of ecom’s continued growth.
Wishing you a good summer ahead.
Regards
Joe
