I am a bit of a latecomer to the QBBF, nevertheless, I am thoroughly impressed by the dynamic, active and highly professional manner by which the QBBF promotes and advance a variety of UK business interests, as well as the QBBF community in Doha. I am delighted to be part of the forum and I look forward to sharing and contributing to all that the QBBF has to offer.

Deloitte Qatar has been a member of the QBBF for several years, and we recognize the excellent work that it does in creating an environment to foster those relationships.

I attended my first QBBF lunch as a guest within one week of my arrival in 2005. I was impressed by the welcoming and friendly nature of the members, especially towards a new arrival. The opportunities for networking and understanding the needs of the British business community were readily apparent. I soon joined up and have made many good connections and friends over the years, and look forward to continuing to do so!

When we opened Venture Partner Qatar, one of the first priorities was to join the QBBF, for a number of reasons; the QBBF offers the opportunity to meet other professionals in Qatar that may potentially not only become business associates but also friends; the QBBF regularly runs forums that provide updated country, political and company information, which is essential to the operation of a business in Qatar; the QBBF offer sponsorship opportunities, allowing companies to promote their name and services in Qatar. We are members of similar organisations in our other office locations in UAE and Oman, and of these organisations, the QBBF is by far the most productive.
