ABCC Members Explore New Opportunities at First Networking Event of 2025
Members of the ABCC from varied industries explored new opportunities and shared their stories at the first Members’ Networking event of 2025 which the Chamber hosted at its Mayfair premises on 24th February.
Tickets for the highly successful event were entirely sold out and it saw members mingling with non-members alongside diplomats in the full capacity auditorium.
In welcoming remarks Mr Bandar Reda, ABCC Secretary General & CEO, expressed his pleasure at seeing so many attendees and stressed the Chamber’s commitment to serving its members in their efforts to grasp the growing business and investment opportunities arising from closer Arab British collaboration.
Chairing the event, Mr Abdeslam El-Idrissi, ABCC Deputy CEO & Secretary General, reinforced Mr Reda’s remarks by highlighting that 2025 marks the Chamber’s fiftieth year of service to business. He listed some recent and upcoming events, including last week’s roundtable with the Tunisian Ambassador, the Wimena summits on women’s sports and the forthcoming Arab British Economic Summit (ABES2025) due to be held on 23rd June, as well as a 50th anniversary gala dinner. Mr El-Idrissi urged people to join the ABCC if they had not already done so.
Ms Rita Massoud, ABCC HR and Events Manager, drew attention to the special members’ offer to upgrade to “gold” membership to take advantage of a complimentary exhibition space at ABES2025.
Several speakers delivering presentations described how membership of the ABCC had helped their businesses to grow by opening up new avenues through developing new contacts.
The eight members making their pitch were Airc.Digital, Recovery Advisers, One-LUX Ltd, TUV Rheinland, Interpolitan Money, Albertson Solicitors, London International Shipping Week and Handshaikh.
The evening concluded with a lively networking reception where members and guests could exchange ideas over drinks and refreshments in the relaxed informal gathering.
