We hope you enjoyed a restful summer and we are pleased to be back with you with a full set of activities.

 In  the meantime we take this opportunity to thank you for your commitment towards the improvement of our services. Indeed, the questionnaire we circulated last June has been the opportunity for some of our members to express their expectations and wishes. This feedback is the best way we can remain up to date with your requirements in order to increase the FBC value to you.

The coming six weeks prior to the holy month of Ramadan will be very busy. We will start with a special welcome to newcomers with a set of events designed to answer all their questions concerning doing business in the UAE.

We are confident you will appreciate this agenda which is yours and we inite you to further share your ideas with us as your input is always precious.

We are looking forward to meeting you all on 28 September for our traditional new comers cocktail.

 

France Crespin-Van Duinen, Director
