The delegation will visit Dubai
A DELEGATION from the Island is heading to the Gulf next week on a five-day trip designed to boost business from the region.
The visit has been arranged by Jersey Finance and experts from seven professional firms will be making up the Jersey contingent in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Jersey Finance is staging seminars in both Gulf cities entitled Embracing the New Decade. Legal and financial professionals from the region will be able to find out more about the benefits of using Jersey for private wealth management and structuring transactions.
Island lawyers Raulin Amy, from Ogier, and Trevor Norman, from Volaw, will join Jersey Finance chief executive Geoff Cook on the podium at each event.
The first will be held on Monday at the West Wing at the Dubai International Financial Centre while a second will take place in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday at the Beach Rotana Hotel.

Perhaps Jersey Finance should speak to some of the UK companies and contractors still owed billions for the building work done in Dubai.
Jersey should not be pandering to people like that.

Agree with Tom Jones #1. Also Dubai is not the place to be nobody at the moment currently wants to do business with them. So move on to places like Qatar. Another jolly and another waste of the taxpayers money ala funds paid to Jersey Finance.

Hopefully if they realise any business they will be more successful in getting their fees than the hundreds of construction firms across the globe that are still waiting for their money!
