Bridging the Gulf

03 September 2004 #SMMT News

SMMT’s international team has launched a new report on business opportunities in the key regional markets of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

The Gulf region offers a range of business possibilities for companies which supply automotive components and aftermarket accessories. A unique combination of factors – high levels of vehicle ownership, the lack of an indigenous industry, and a cultural love of customisation – has created a fertile market for UK companies to explore.

And, with Dubai acting as a major regional transhipment point and trading post, there are additional opportunities to expand business connections into Central Asia and Africa.

SMMT sent International Manager Les Parfitt to analyse the key regional markets, and identify the best business strategies and openings for new entrants. His report is now available from SMMT International Department.

Interested parties should contact Pat Shaw on 020 7344 9260, email intern@smmt.co.uk
