Dylan Owen, regional director of EFM in the Middle East, together with general manager, Chris Lumb have undergone a busy 12 months, since the Dubai office's opening in April 2008, building the business and gaining increasing respect from a wide network of contacts across the GCC region. Together with the EFM international management team, they welcomed fellow events professionals to the poolside iKandy Bar at Dubai's Shangri-La hotel for an evening reception to celebrate a successful first year.
During the last 12 months in the Middle East, EFM has moved an extensive list of events supplies in, around and back out of the region for many major events. Production equipment & musical instruments for major international music acts such as Christina Aguilera and George Michael in Abu Dhabi; custom-made exhibition stands to trade fairs across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain; temporary structures, audiovisual and other events equipment for sporting events including the Abu Dhabi Golf Championships, Dubai Rugby Sevens, Dubai World Cup and the F1 Grand Prix in Bahrain.
Mike Llewellyn commented: "We have continually grown by supporting event organisers all over the world since EFM first opened our doors for business for 2000. I'm extremely proud that our Dubai office has continued to build on our commitment to deliver at the highest level of service, on time and on budget. I have been delighted from comments tonight that EFM is being considered the leading event logistics specialists dedicated to the Middle East region."
