Gulf Tour 2018: UK Roadshow

24 May, 2018 - BCB

It’s time for our annual sojourn to the UK to meet with companies hoping to expand or export to the UAE and wider Middle East region. As usual the tour takes me to four cities in the UK, detals of which can be found below.

Our Gulf Tours are very popular and have been a great way for me to help people in the UK understand what it takes to succeed in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. UK quality goods and services command a premium in the region because it is understood locally that the British standard is high. UK firms will always have a market here no matter what sector they operate in simply because companies from other parts of the world are only able to compete on price; UK companies compete with knowledge and reputation.

I look forward to meeting you!

Why the Gulf?

The UK exports more to the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries than to China and more than twice as much as to India. UK Exports to the Gulf in 2016 were £22.7bn and the UAE alone is the UK’s fourth biggest export market outside Europe. UK exports have grown into the wider Middle East region by 56% in the past decade, with further growth predicted.
