Further expansion for Grass Roots Middle East with new appointment

Following the recent launch of a new Events and Communications division, the next phase of Grass Roots Middle East's expansion is now in place with the appointment of Mark Rose. The formation of this new division is backed by Grass Roots' on-going international growth and a strong financial position.

Ray joins Grass Roots with over 25 years experience in the creation and execution of live events around the world, from small internal events through to 50,000 people musical extravaganzas.

Speaking about the enhanced Dubai offering, Graham Frazer, Chairman Grass Roots Middle-East, said:

"We now have a winning team in place, and this underlies our commitment to the Middle East market. Both Mark and Ray come with experience, ideas and innovations that will unquestionably propel our ambitions for growth in the region."

Commenting on his new role, Mark Rose said, "I am privileged to be joining Grass Roots, a company with a deep and strong heritage in brand communications across the world during this time of dynamic growth. My mission is to deliver the highest standard of service for our clients and to ensure each project benefits from synergies with our global offering".

Mark Rose joins Grass Roots with an impressive track record in senior managerial positions in events companies. In his five years in the Middle East, he has worked on operations management and global events projects. Prior to this Mark Rose worked in the UK where his experience includes the hospitality and travel industries, training and development of retail managers, and account management for incentive and motivational programmes.
