As the new Chair of the British Business Group Dubai and Northern Emirates, I wanted to pledge to you - the members, our sponsors and stakeholders - my commitment to build on the current success made possible under the great leadership of John Martin St. Valery OBE, the Board and Business Team. I would also encourage you to reach out and congratulate the newly appointed Board Directors: Helen Barrett – Deputy Chair; John Martin St. Valery OBE – Director of Government Relations; Paul Gyles – Director of Finance; David Singleton – Director of Brand; Jonathon Davidson – Director of Legal and Compliance; and Robert Kew – Director of Technology.
I presented the following intentions for the next two years at the end of the AGM and here they are again for those that weren't in the room:
This is my commitment to you but it will only be possible with your continued support, harnessing the expertise in the membership and wider stakeholder network and embracing a pace of growth that's aligned to the region's own aspirations and strategy with great consideration of policy, law and global market changes.
We will continue to be the voice of the British business community and work closely with our partners to ensure our members feel informed, included and appreciated.
I look forward to meeting and exceeding your business development and local market needs as Chair of the BBG!
Andrew Mortimer
