Dubai Chamber UK office expansion London, June 2023 – The Dubai International Chamber (DIC), part of Dubai Chambers, has officially inaugurated its first representative office in London, United Kingdom, marking a significant milestone in the Chamber’s global expansion. NH Management played a key supporting role in the Dubai Chamber UK office expansion, marking a new chapter in economic relations between the UAE and the United Kingdom.

This office is DIC’s first in Europe and its 20th international representative office worldwide. The move reinforces Dubai’s commitment to expanding bilateral trade relationships and solidifying its global position as a leading business hub.

Strengthening UAE–UK Business Relations

Established in 1965, the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry is a public, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering the emirate’s economic ecosystem and promoting global business partnerships. The launch of the London office is a strategic step forward in enhancing cooperation between the UAE and the United Kingdom.

The office was inaugurated during a special ceremony attended by distinguished figures, including:

• H.E. Mansoor Abdullah Khalfan Juma Abulhoul, UAE Ambassador to the UK

• H.E. Simon Penney, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for the Middle East and Pakistan

• Khalid Al Shamsi, Vice President of Operations, Dubai Chambers

Expanding Trade and Investment Channels

The launch of the Dubai Chamber’s UK office aims to:

• Increase bilateral trade and investment

• Strengthen communication with UK public and private stakeholders

• Support UK companies exploring expansion into the Dubai and UAE markets

According to Dubai Customs, the non-oil trade between the UAE and UK surged by 28.6% in 2022, reaching AED 29.7 billion. The UK ranked 14th among Dubai’s top trading partners, with key export segments including aircraft and spacecraft parts (AED 6.24 billion), with potential to increase to AED 8.45 billion.

Opportunities also exist for UAE exports to the UK. For example, precious metals, which currently account for only 17% of potential exports, could grow from AED 286 million to AED 1.66 billion.

Additionally, the number of UK companies registered with the Dubai Chamber has grown by 69% since 2016, reaching 9,200 companies as of the end of 2022.

The new London office also serves as a platform for UK companies seeking to:

• Relocate or expand to Dubai

• Access markets in the GCC, Africa, and South America

• Benefit from Dubai’s world-class logistics infrastructure and access to over 2.2 billion consumers

Dubai’s strategic location at the crossroads of East and West positions it as a preferred global trade hub for UK businesses with international ambitions.
