Welcome to the 2015 Edition of the BBBF Directory I hope that you find this directory, a comprehensive list of our members, a very useful networking tool. We are delighted that our membership has reached its highest level in our 20 year history which we will be marking and celebrating in 2015. Demand continues to grow from within Bahrain and it is pleasing to see such a large number of British companies seeking to do business in Bahrain and the wider GCC marketplace. We have experienced a rise in interest from Bahraini companies interested in forging partnerships and joint ventures to harness British industrial expertise and technical know-how. We are encouraged that the UK government continues with a key focus on the Bahrain market in particular and that the Gulf generally remains pivotal to this ambitious growth strategy. It is clear that Bahrain is ideally placed to capitalise on this economic renaissance, with our geographic advantages linking us to Saudi Arabia by causeway, logistics hubs, regional cost competitiveness and most importantly a diverse, deeply skilled and entrepreneurial workforce. The special business relationship and close friendship that Bahrain and Britain have forged over hundreds of years will 4
serve both islands in good stead, as we seek to undertake more business with each other and as reiterated by the British Embassy and UKTI. We continue to enjoy an excellent working relationship with the British Embassy and the United Kingdom Trade & Investment teams. H.E. Ambassador, Iain Lindsay, and his dynamic commercial team support us greatly through a rewarding partnership in the numerous business networking activities that we organise. We are also very fortunate to have permanent British Embassy representation on our Committee, to ensure that we develop synergies, capitalise areas of mutual interest, connect visiting trade delegates to the right people during their stay, and follow-up tangible opportunities. As a supplement to our website, [www.bbbforum.org], the annual membersÂ’ directory has an important role to play. With a distribution of over 1,500 copies, the directory provides an excellent platform for members to locate other members and for members to reach potential business partners and clients. The directory can be found in the British Embassy in Bahrain, business centres of all 5 star hotels in Bahrain, in lounges of Bahrain International Airport and on the desks of senior executives
From the Chair
in both the public and private sectors here in Bahrain. The directory also travels overseas with copies being made available to visiting British trade missions and other British Business Groups throughout the Gulf, the Middle East Association, and the Arab British Chamber of Commerce, based in London. A special mention also to both HSBC, our Corporate sponsors, and Standard Chartered, our Special Interest Group sponsors, who continue to be a great source of financial support and generous encouragement. Their support allows us the financial security to increase the number and quality of events that we organise for your benefit and enjoyment. I would like to thank all the BBBF Committee and Special Interest Group (SIG) Leaders for their tremendous support and hard work during 2014. In particular we bid a fond farewell to our Vice Chair Mr Austin Rudman and wish him all on the best on his new role in the UAE market. To cater for our ever growing and increasingly diverse membership, and in addition to our regular monthly lunches and dinner functions, the SIGs
have been very active organising an additional 18 networking events throughout 2014. We have been very fortunate to have been addressed by some very interesting and dynamic speakers who have shared with us a wealth of knowledge and ideas that we may leverage within our own businesses. Our committee does not have a monopoly of good ideas, so we always welcome hearing ways that we can serve you, the Bahrain-British business community, better in the future, so please do let us know and we welcome your feedback. We are all very proud to serve our members and I am deeply honoured to have the opportunity to represent you as Chairman. We wish each and every one of our members and your respective organisations a very successful and profitable 2015, and we look forward to seeing you, and your guests, at forthcoming BBBF events in 2015 and in celebration of our progress and achievements attained over the past 20 years Best wishes Khalid Al Zayani OBE Chairman 5
Ambassador's Foreword Welcome to the 2015 edition of the BBBF Directory
I gave my annual state of the UK/Bahrain relationship address to the BBBF Christmas lunch last week. My message was that 2014 was another excellent year for bilateral relations, full of achievement. We started off the year in January with a phenomenal GREAT British Week of 50 plus events, many supported by British companies and members of the BBBF, to celebrate our long-standing friendship with Bahrain and all that is best about Britain, as well as launching preparations for the bicentenary of bilateral relations in 2016. The generous patronage of His Majesty The King and the presence of His Royal Highness the Duke of York reflected not just the close and warm relationship between the UK and Bahrain but also our strong strategic partnership. The peg for the Week was the Bahrain International Airshow, in itself a superb collaboration between Bahrain and the Farnborough International Airshow. The huge British presence at the Airshow led some members of the Bahraini royal family to suggest that we rename the Airshow the Bahrain British Airshow ! February saw the visit of the Lord Mayor of London, Fiona Woolf, whose fond memories of the way she was welcomed and treated when she worked in Bahrain in the 1980s resonated with many members of the British community. Her visit deepened cooperation,
particularly on Islamic Finance, where Bahrain is acknowledged as the leading player in the Middle East and second only to Malaysia globally. This was underlined at the inaugural UK/ Bahrain Islamic Finance Summit in London in April which saw the signing of an MOU which set out plans to boost bilateral cooperation through an education and skills programme and Islamic Finance-driven trade and investment. We built on this at the World Islamic Banking Conference in Bahrain a few weeks ago. April also saw the ground breaking ceremony for the new Royal Navy HQ, inside the new US 5th Fleet HQ, reflecting not only our security commitment to Bahrain and the Gulf but also our very close relationship with our US allies. In May His Majesty The King visited the UK for the Royal Windsor Horse Show, further cementing the close ties between our royal families. The Embassy s UK Trade and Investment team helped various British companies enter the market over the last year. A particular success was National Express s £170m bus transportation contract in September, its first in the region. National Express entered 7
into a joint venture with the local AMA Group to form Bahrain Public Transport Company, which will hold the concession for the public bus system. Other British companies will be benefit from this. All in all a great success for British business. Roll on to December and the signing of a landmark defence agreement, arguably the most important between the UK and Bahrain since Bahrain s independence in 1971, which will mean the first permanent British base in the region since our withdrawal from East of Suez in 1971 and reflects our growing partnership with Gulf allies to tackle shared strategic and regional threats. It was signed during the IISS Manama Dialogue, which again saw a large and high-powered UK delegation, led by Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and including Defence Secretary Michael Fallon. The Embassy continues to respond to the clear messages from the Bahraini authorities that they want to see a bigger and stronger British commercial presence in Bahrain. We have just had the largest trade mission to visit Bahrain in my time here, with nearly 20 universities, colleges and private training providers focussing on corporate and executive training, where the UK is globally renowned as a centre of excellence. With exports to Bahrain up 13%, it has, overall, been a good year for British business here. But we all want to do better. What are the prospects? Well, there are clearly some 8
mega opportunities. The government s ambitious infrastructure development programme is worth some US $22billion. This opens up new opportunities for British companies in oil and gas infrastructure work, aluminium (both the smelter expansion and downstream manufacturing), new housing, airport expansion (where the Minister for Transportation visited the UK to see what we have to offer) and transport infrastructure. Thank you to Khaled Al Zayani for his leadership of the BBBF and chairing the GREAT British Week Steering Group. For his sterling contribution to the bilateral relationship, Khaled was awarded a welldeserved Honorary OBE, which the Duke of York presented during his visit. Thanks also to the BBBF Committee, Special Interest Group Chairs, the BBBF Secretariat as well as the members for their contribution to UK/Bahrain relations. I very much appreciate your support. The Embassy s UK Trade and Investment team and I look forward to working with the BBBF and yet more British companies to strengthen the bilateral commercial relationship. I wish the BBBF and its members a very prosperous 2015!

Special Interest Groups
sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank
The special interest groups exist to meet the needs of members who want to learn more about specific sectors or about specialist areas of expertise in a more informal environment. We want to involve the broader Bahrain business community and encourage non BBBF members as well as BBBF members to come to our meetings. Interest groups aim to meet four times a year. The interest groups started in response to member interest and at the moment we have six groups. These are run by individuals who have an interest in the topic themselves and who are willing to manage the process of running their groups with support from the office and from me but they do need to do most of the work themselves. Up to date contacts for the SIG Chairpersons may be found on the BBBF Website. How you can get involved
Please support the meetings and come to the shared networking events we organise a couple of times a year. If you have a strong interest in a business sector and have the passion, time and energy to start a group let me know. If you have an idea for an event or want to get involved with the interest group organisation as a whole please get in touch with me. If you are technical expert who would like to share your knowledge with the broader group get in touch with me or the appropriate SIG head. If you would like to be a venue for our meetings contact me or the BBBF office. If you would like to help me organise some larger networking events for this year I would welcome support and access to some administrative resources. Paula Boast SIG Chair 2015
We also now have 2 social media accounts. LinkedIn – Bahrain British Buisness Forum, managed by Tony Palys and Mike Jackson and Twitter - BahBritishBizForum, managed by Julia Atherton-Dandy

THE BBBF MAGAZINE IS YOUR MAGAZINE
Dear BBBF Member,
We are striving to keep each edition of the Forum Magazine up-to-date with current news and events and would be very pleased to receive your Press Releases, with or without pictures, of any new developments within your company, whether it be a promotion, an expansion, a new product or a special event. Please note items sent in must be newsworthy; any material that is simply an attempt to place free advertising will not be printed. Here are three TOP TIPS for getting your press release included. 1) Have A Story To Tell You must have a story to tell, a hook, or an interesting angle. Whilst demand for news is great, the news must still be interesting. So, find your story and develop it. Whilst you try and do this, make sure you think about the following: u u u u
event tie-in articles socially important editorial tie-in articles innovations and developments or unique products unusual events or unique personal accomplishments
2) Think Like a Journalist u
u
u
3) Keep Your Press Release Short! With so much to consider when writing a press release it’s not surprising that most people write too much copy. It doesn’t matter how well you have written your press release, if it’s too long then it won’t get read. So keep your press release short. Remove words that do not need to be there. Not convinced? Ask yourself these questions: u
u
2) Keep it simple Don't mess around with fancy fonts, inappropriate attempts to emphasise with I t a l i c s o r s p a c i n g variations, you're only giving the editior more work to do to turn it into something he wants to include instead of an excuse to ignore it...
So what reasons would an editor want to publish your news? What benefits would their readers get? Is it relevant and timely? Ideally, make the main benefit of your press release the headline. Or try and answer at least three of the classic five Ws -- who, what, when, where and why -- for your publicity angle in the headline. If you do not come up with a compelling headline then the editor may simply not read any further.
u
How many of these press releases do you think editors get to read for every publication? How many long, badly-worded releases will they read before, eventually, they become instantly put off just by the length of a press release? And how much more likely do you think it is that an editor will read your SHORT, quick-to-read, press release?
Understand now? Keep your press release short, simple as that! 39
