Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), a non-profit organisation whose mission is to represent, support and protect the interests of the business community in Dubai, recently honoured top performing small and medium enterprises (SME) exporters, said a report.

The companies were recognised for demonstrating outstanding export performance during the last nine months of 2016 in a list of several categories, added the Wam report.

The categories are as follows: company with the highest export value, company with the highest number of export markets, company with the highest number of Certificates of Origin issued, and recent start-up company that has reached the highest export value during a particular month, it said.

Hisham Al Shirawi, second vice chairman, DCCI, presented certificate of recognition and an SME Exporter of the Month trophy.

Representatives from the top-performing companies expressed their gratitude to DCCI for its support in encouraging healthy competition within the local business community, which ultimately benefits their companies.
