Hi,

I need to find out which are the main business-related publications - primarily insurance and financial services related but other areas too - in the Middle East/UAE.

I guess I'm thinking or the main printed magazines and websites (although they can be one of the same.

Can anyone help - it would be really appreciated!

I think it's been a long time since there were any financial or insurance specific titles. They were shut down a long time ago.

The main business titles are Arabian Business and Gulf Business. They often deal with financial and insurance news and interviews, but they don't exclusively focus on them.

Best contacts for them are:
Arabian Business (Print)
Ed Attwood – [email protected]

Arabian Business (Online)
Daniel Shane – [email protected]

Both can be reached through the ITP switchboard – +971 4 444 3000

Gulf Business (Print and Online AFAIK)
Alicia Buller – not sure on her email, but Motivate's switchboard is +971 4 282 4060

Brett's a c***. Just kidding. I used to work with him (he was my sales manager for a while). Really nice guy and he'll definitely be able to help.

He likes a drink as well, ask him about the Monkey Hangar in Khobar

Mention said place to anyone who has passed through Khobar and they will just shake their heads and smile. Its a bit like what happens in Vagas stays in Vagas.

Hi - I can't access this profile. Apparently I'm not connected in any way so LinkedIn won't let me! Can you give me his name? Thanks

Hi,

I can't access this LinkedIn profile - apparently he's not in my network so it won't let me.

Can you let me have his name?

Thanks

I'd recommend the MEED publication, it will at least inform you of up and coming projects in the region and which companies are winning work: MEED
