Welcome to the British Chamber of Commerce Dubai. We connect, promote and support British businesses that are already in Dubai and those looking to explore the region.

As the first Business Advance member in 2021, I can say it has been a great investment for Auxilium for the visibility and access to the membership, stakeholders and events that the BCCD provides. We have increased our membership to ensure we have more people to cover all the various events BCCD provides, as we find each vertical gives us good insights and a fresh network.  And the Golf Days are great too! Thanks so much to Katy and the team. We've seen great progress and momentum at BCCD.  It's really important to support the Chamber and help members achieve their potential in the region, as well as promote how much we can do together with our UK colleagues and networks.

Khawar Mann OBE

Co-Founder and CEO, Auxilium Services

Since becoming a member of the BCCD earlier this year, I have attended numerous events with high quality content and decision maker level delegates. With the support of the business team and utilising the Business Advance benefits I can already confidently attribute new business through the membership. Marsh sees the BCCD as a useful communication channel, where we can share market insight reports throughout the year

Rob Kerry

AVP - Senior Business Development Manager, Marsh

As a small business owner, I am always looking to learn and get inspiration from other business leaders. Joining the BCCD was all about meeting people, learning from them and seeing how we can become a part of a bigger picture. Connecting with others is so powerful in the post-Covid era and BCCD are brilliant at providing the space to do that.

Erika Blazeviciute Doyle

Founder/Managing Director, Drink Dry LLC

I take great pleasure in being an engaged member of this active business community. Since joining the BCCD, I have forged significant business connections thanks to the excellent events by the BCCD Business Team. Additioannly, I value the opportunity to learn and exchange diverse market knowledge with fellow professionals in the group. The BCCD Business Team have not only been friendly and welcoming but also exceptionally supportive. Their efforts have been instrumental in facilitating strategic introductions that have led to new business opportunities for me.

Laura Everest

Gallup CliftonStrengths Coach

As a Founder of a boutique business, whilst there are many many highs, part of the corporate life I sometimes miss is the structured training and development that you have exposure to. I have attended many events through the British Chamber here in Dubai and in Singapore that offer brilliant masterclasses, workshops and business briefings so I still get to learn, grow and also network with like-minded professionals. It’s a win-win and I would definitely recommend it to fellow entrepreneurs.

Sonia Blockley

Founder & Managing Partner, KS Talent Solutions

In my experience this is the most active and engaged of equivalent business networks I have encountered in other regions. 

The team at BCCD are focused on delivering the best experience for all members and being based in the UK has posed no barrier to benefitting from their specialist knowledge, support and promotion. 

Sam Goodwin

Head of Global Engagement, UK Study Options

It's been a pleasure to partner with BCCD on their popular speed networking events. 

Given that so much of doing business is based on having strong relationships, it's been fantastic to play a role in bringing together like-minded individuals from across the region. 

For me, the series has also been personally very valuable as I've gained personal and professional contacts through the quality time we spent with the expat community. We're already looking forward to future collaborations.
