The website of the British Business Group - Abu Dhabi has recently been completely overhauled and re-vamped. The new version goes "live" during July, and although initially one or two of the individual sections may still be "under construction," the BBG Committee hopes that the new site willprove to be of greater use, both to members and to non-members. The objective behind the overhaul has been to make the site more 'user-friendly' and more relevant to today's business needs, and to make it of use both to UAE residents, whether BBG members or otherwise, and to those accessing it from abroad to seek information about the Group and Abu Dhabi. Building on existing material, the Events and Membership pages have been developed, and the Useful Links section has also been updated.

New features include the texts of the speeches given at some recent BBG events - something we hope to be able to continue - and the addition of pages to permit sponsorship of the site and advertising. We hope that these will quickly prove attractive, both to Members and others. Looking ahead a little, a new Jobsite is also being constructed, and the Committee hopes that Members will take advantage of this to advertise their job vacancies. 

Once the new site is up and running properly, we would, of course, welcome any comments and any further suggestions for development, both from Group members and from other visitors to the site. Our objective, ultimately, is to make the BBG - Abu Dhabi website an essential point of call for all those interested in studying, or participating in, the development of business links between Britain and Abu Dhabi.
