Businesses from West and North Yorkshire have strengthened trade ties with the United Arab Emirates through a recent trade mission led by the region’s Chamber of Commerce. The delegation, which included companies from various sectors, visited Dubai and Abu Dhabi to explore commercial opportunities and build partnerships.
As part of the visit, delegates attended a networking event at the British Embassy in Dubai, hosted by Sarah Mooney, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for the Middle East and Pakistan. The group also received an economic briefing at HSBC Tower and met with members of the Abu Dhabi Chamber. A site visit to a Free Zone in central Dubai provided insights into regional trade and investment incentives.
Law firm Schofield Sweeney, the University of Bradford, and Data Stream sponsored the trade mission. More than 70 UK and UAE-based businesses participated in networking events coordinated with the British Chamber of Commerce in Dubai.
Participating companies included Schofield Sweeney Solicitors, RJJ Software, Platinum Partnership Solicitors, LOVE IN CARE, Madison May, Tudor International Freight, University of Bradford, Sound Leisure, F. B Parrish and Son Ltd, Data Stream UK, Wodar, Aqua Interpreting Group, ITC, and Marske Hall Country Estate.
