Saudi business boom leads to the Kingdom's first ever office expo

Saudi businesses are learning that office design can have a huge impact on workforce productivity and job satisfaction. In fact, over $4bn has been spent on interior design alone between 2009 and 2010, setting new benchmarks for working environments in the region.

Saudi Office Expo, Saudi's first office exhibition will be held at the Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events from 12-15 December, showcasing complete workplace solutions from office construction, design and furnishings, to ICT solutions and security.

Alain Marhic, Managing Director of the exhibition, states; "Saudi Office Expo has been a long time coming for the region. Saudi Arabia is developing at an incredible rate and Saudi office expo will showcase everything a modern Saudi business requires."

The event is expected to attract a great deal of attention from this flourishing yet currently under-served market, with high profile names such as Hoshan Group as sponsors. The exhibition features international manufactures and suppliers, the latest to confirm being Bristol Office Furniture from Malaysia. Bristol produces high quality office chairs and office furniture such as executive desks, meeting tables and storage furniture.
