Organised and supported by the UK Trade and Investment, the UK government's international business development body, the attendees were given expert advice on how to do business in the Gulf, how to set up a business in the UAE and which sectors provided specific opportunities for British business. Attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions to the expert panel team and to meet for one to one sessions.
Speaking at the road show, Graham Mitchell, Head of Commercial Banking for Lloyds TSB Middle East, said:
"We were thrilled to be part of this important road show to the UK. The high numbers of attendees and detailed questioning demonstrated the continued interest companies in the UK have in investing in the UAE. Furthermore, we have seen a spike in the numbers of new British companies contacting us for UAE banking support."
Jeff Wilson, Director of UK Trade and Investment, said, "The UAE is the UK's 14th largest export market and we have seen these figures grow strongly over the last 2 years. Working with our partners, UK Trade and Investment's aim is to ensure that British businesses that are looking to set up in the UAE and in the wider Gulf get the objective and professional advice they need to do so. It was fantastic that so many people took the time to meet with us during our trip to the UK, and this shows that there is a very strong interest in the UAE and this important economic region. This UK business development tour was the first of its kind organised from the UAE. We hope to replicate it to different centres in the UK in 2010."
