UK's biggest paint contracting team plans expansion in the Middle East

The organisation, which specialises in top end decorating and protecting of new buildings, has spent two days with contractors across the region, discussing plans to break into the building market in the UAE.

Research values the building market in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) at over Dhs6.5 trillion, a figure that places it in the one of the top regions of the world for expansion.

"We are seeing some of the highest quality structures being built right here in the Gulf, but protecting them with the best coatings to ensure they last is an afterthought," said Ian Henderson, Managing Director, Bell Group. "We have had some very productive meetings with many of the regions leading constructers to discuss how our highly qualified staff can help to remedy that."

Bell Group is working with the UAE's leading paint company, Al Gurg Leigh's Paints who have over 40 years experience throughout the region, as a partner for its expansion into the Gulf.

"Our experience in the UAE puts us in an ideal position to introduce the best painting team in the UK into this very specific market. With many buildings affected by the sea and the sand, it is vital that these structures are treated with the right coatings by qualified staff," said Sunil Gudur from Al Gurg Leigh's Paints.
