The British Business Group of Dubai and the Northern Emirates (BBG) has appointed Steve Shore as its new executive director.

The newly created position reflects the success and growth of the group in recent years, a statement said.

With over 1,450 members, the British Business Group is one of the largest and most active business groups in the region.

Mark Beer, chairman and CEO of the BBG, said: “At the BBG we believe that networking and relationship building have never been more important, especially at this current time. With the recent growth in our membership and activity of the group, the committee has looked at ways to continue to improve the operation of the BBG and make changes to the structure of the BBG Office.”

“We are also planning for the future and, as a result, two senior appointments have been made within the group which also reflect the group's and the community's commitment, and alignment, to the future success and vision of Dubai and the Northern Emirates.”

Doreen Cameron, previously the BBG’s office manager is now heading the BBG Events team, with responsibility for the successful management of all the events which the group currently operates each year.

As Executive Director, Shore’s goal is to deliver greater value to the BBG membership through alliances, focus on membership growth and retention and driving the committee to fulfil the objectives set at the beginning of each committee year.  – TradeArabia News Service
