Losberger De Boer, the leading temporary event structure and semi-permanent buildings specialist, has appointed Jim Muldoon as its new managing director for the Middle East, Central Asia and Russia region baserf in Dubai, UAE.

Muldoon has over 20 years of strategic and business development experience together with an extensive understanding of Gulf markets through his work in various senior management roles throughout the GCC, said a statement from the company.

His previous management experience spans the retail, building design, fit-out and modular building industries.

Muldoon will bring proven operational capability and a “reputation for driving business forward while maintaining high levels of client satisfaction” to the role, it stated.

Capitalising on the ever-growing trend towards temporary building usage across the Middle East, Losberger De Boer has designed and developed a high-specification, semi-permanent building concept which is driving significant growth over and above its core event structure rental business, said the company in its statement.

Muldoon will be building upon this strong market position and the company’s pioneering background in this field, it stated.

His past achievements have included registering year-on-year revenue of over $100 million through implementing a range of operational management strategies while working for a major UK-based retail group leading 770 staff, it added.

On his new role, Muldoon said: "Offering bespoke, design-led temporary and semi-permanent building solutions that can be tailored to individual client requirements and delivered in record-breaking time is our key objective. The Gulf market remains highly receptive to the Losberger De Boer rapid build concept and our world class standards."

"In addition to our range of over 70 systemised temporary event structures - all of which are European-manufactured and ISO-certified - we are excited to continue rolling out our next generation of semi-permanent buildings that look and feel like permanent buildings, but can be built in weeks and not months or years," explained Muldoon.

"Crucially, our clients can start trading almost immediately on new sites while providing the flexibility to relocate at short notice if and when business circumstances change," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
