Major businesses come together for British community

The event will bring together members from the region's largest and most active business group as well as associates from the Executive Committee of the Emirates Association of UK Alumni, the British Council and the Middle East Association.

All attending BBG members, and those who sign up to join the Group on the night, will enter into a prize draw to win two return tickets from Dubai to London with Silverjet, the unique airline which offers a private jet experience between London, Dubai and New York.

"This is a great opportunity for our existing members to find out about how they can get the most from their membership and to introduce potential new members," said Mark Beer, Chairman and CEO of the BBG. "Our networking events are always very well attended because members know they are guaranteed to make new business and social contacts. This event will be bigger than usual and will give an outline on the breadth of opportunities which come from being a BBG member.

"We host around 70 events every year, including special interest groups tackling issues in specific industries such as construction, finance, education and IT, as well as our popular breakfast briefings and monthly lunches which continue to attract high profile speakers. Our overall aim is to strengthen the business links between the UK and the UAE and to reinforce the commitment of the British business community to being a part of the tremendous and ongoing success of Dubai and the Northern Emirates."

The BBG Grand Networking Event takes place at the Rooftop Gardens in Wafi, Tuesday 11 March at 7:00pm.
