Substantial Success and Good Performance Established in 2006, Gulf Business Con- sulting is a company born and specialised in the Middle East market and managed by a group of professionals from different countries, cultures and back- grounds with a common goal, to add value to each of their clients through their professional services.

In addition to this, the firm also offer a wide range of customised services according to the needs and objectives of each company. The overall mission for the team at Gulf Business Consulting is that every company which places their trust in the firm, then they will achieve the goal that has been set for this market in a realistic and objective way. Going into further detail about the work they do, José begins by explain- ing how the team undertake each project to ensure that their clients receive the best possible service. “Here at Gulf Business Consult- ing, we assess in depth each company, whether public or pri- vate and evaluate the levels of vi- ability for this market. We inform the company in an honest, realis- tic and objective way the results of that assessment. However, we do not create false expectations. After this initial stage, we develop a tailor-made strategy and plan with deliverables. We train our clients in the business culture of this country and region and after that we connect them with the right partners, customers, sup- pliers, government departments or investors according to their needs. Once we find their most appropriate counterpart we work as a team to build and develop a successful business model.” When discussing what sets the firm apart from their competitors, José highlights the qualities which distinguishes Gulf Busi- ness Consulting from other companies within the industry, marking them out as the best possible option for clients. “At Gulf Business Consulting, our many years of experience and knowledge of this market sets us apart from competitors. In addition to this, our solid network of high level contacts in most of the industries, government entities, as well as the credibility and respect we have gained from clients, partners and even competitors due to the quality of services we offer, and an excep- tional team of professionals is another key differentiator.” Looking ahead to what the future holds, José signs off by revealing the exciting plans which lie in the pipeline for the firm, especially following their recent success as the Best Business Development Consulting Firm - Middle East. “Moving forward, we will continue to stay in continuous transfor- mation and learning, especially in the use of new technologies and continuously adapting to a market that is always in motion. We will use the experience not to live on the past, but instead to apply to the present reality and grow in the future. “Following the win, we have received many congratulations and messages of affection and respect from our clients but our way of capitalising on having won this award, is not being satisfied, knowing that there is much more to achieve and that without our clients who trust us we would never win this award.” Contact: José Diego Manzanera Company: Gulf Business Consulting & Strategies FZE Address: P.O.
