The Reed-sponsored Qatar British Business Forum (QBBF) Reception was attended by British Ambassador John Hawkins, a delegation of representatives of British companies travelling with Lord Mandelson and an array of Reed’s clients and QBBF members.
QBBF chairman Bob Muir reflected on Qatar’s economy, which offers many diverse opportunities for British companies wishing to do business there.
Maria Brown, Associate Director for MENA for Reed, spoke with Lord Mandelson and he was delighted to hear of Reed's continued growth into Qatar, and the instrumental role the recruiter is playing attracting talent into this demanding emerging market – specifically supporting developing British businesses and increasing foreign trade between the two countries.
