West London Chambers of Commerce – Festival of Business 22/02/2023

The West London Chambers of Commerce Festival of Business was a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our business and capabilities in connecting the right people with the right opportunities between Iraq and the UK. As a business focused on improving the economy exchange between the two countries, we were thrilled to participate in this event and connect with potential partners and clients.

At our booth, we showcased our expertise in navigating the complex cultural and business differences between Iraq and the UK. We had engaging displays that highlighted our services, such as facilitating business deals and providing market research and analysis. Our knowledgeable staff was on hand to answer questions and make connections with potential clients or partners.

We also had the opportunity to attend various talks and seminars throughout the day, providing us with valuable insights into the current state of the UK and Iraqi economies and the challenges facing businesses looking to operate in these regions. We were able to network with other exhibitors and attendees, making connections that will be invaluable to our business in the future.

Announcing Al-Asriya Group Partnership and UK office Opening

On the day, we were excited to announce the opening of our partner’s UK office as Al-Asriya Group expands its presence in the international construction industry. With decades of experience in construction and mega projects in Iraq, we are proud to bring our expertise to the UK market.

The festival of Business provided a great opportunity for us to showcase our capabilities and highlight our successful projects, including our 30th project, Dijla Village.

Dijla Village is the largest mixed-use commercial center in Iraq, boasting a 12,000 m2 riverside facility that serves as a focal point for the vibrant neighborhood community. We were thrilled to share the story of this successful project and how it exemplifies our commitment to quality construction and innovative design.

At the festival, we engaged with attendees and potential partners, sharing our vision for bringing our expertise to the UK market. We highlighted our strengths in project management, design, and construction, as well as our understanding of local regulations and customs in both Iraq and the UK.

The opening of the UK office is a significant step forward for Al-Asriya Group, and we look forward to providing our clients with the same high-quality services and commitment to excellence that has made us a leader in the construction industry in Iraq.

In closing, we want to thank the West London Chambers of Commerce for hosting this excellent festival, and we are grateful for the opportunity to showcase our capabilities and meet potential partners and clients. We look forward to building on the connections made at the festival and contributing to the growth of the UK – Iraq trade and construction exchange.
