Premier Ship Models is proud to announce its successful venture into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) market.
We took part in two exhibitions, namely the Exclusive Interior Design & Furniture (IFEX) & the Dubai International Boat Show, sponsored by the UK Trade & Investment Group to assist UK International businesses enter the Middle East.
The first exhibition (IFEX) was part of the British Contractor’s Furnishing Association and held in Abu Dhabi in February 2005. Established four years ago, the exhibition is exclusively for high-end interior design exhibitors across the globe attracting visitors across the Middle East.
His Highness Sheikh Hamed Bin Zayed Al Nayhan, a member of the UAE Royal family, officially opened the exhibition.
We had the honour of His Highness Sheikh Hamed Bin Zayed Al Nayhan accompanied by Her Majesty’s Ambassador Richard Makepeace visit our stand. Our Royal visitor was most interested in our ship models and complimented us on the workmanship of our ship models.
We were delighted the British Embassy had organised a reception for the UK exhibitors to meet a network of potential clients.
The exhibition was both a success, in terms of establishing new clients from the Interior Design industry in the UAE, and in terms of sales at the show.
We are proud to say that our ship models can now be found in the Royal Palaces in the region, which truly reflects our emphasis on producing premium model ships for our discerning customers.
The second exhibition (Dubai International Boat Show) was held at the Dubai Marina in March 2005, as part of the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce UK Trade delegation.
The exhibition attracted exhibitors from 30 countries. Commenting on the success of the show, Helal Saeed Khalfan Al Marri, Director General of Dubai World Trade Centre said, “This has been another successful boat show for us. In fact, this year has seen new benchmarks in exhibitor numbers, visitor turnout and business deals. With this, we believe that Dubai International Boat Show has further secured its position as the definitive event of its kind in the Middle East, Asia and Northern Africa regions.”
Our company received a substantial number of sales enquiries for custom made ship models from existing exhibitors, boat manufacturers and individual clients.
Our first sale at the exhibition was made an hour before the exhibition was due to be officially opened by HH Shaikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
As part of our marketing campaign for our company to be recognised in the UAE, we officially presented a model boat of the ‘Victory 7 Power Boat’ to Mr Khalfan Hareb, Managing Director of the Victory Team, and a ship model of a ‘Racing Dhow’ to Mr Saeed Hareb, Managing Director of the Dubai International Marine Club.
The presentation was captured by the Press and TV and the video will be on our website shortly.
We are now working through the extensive lists of sales leads and contacts from both exhibitions, and look forward to exhibiting next year.
Our next exhibitions in the UK will be the International Festival of the Seas in June 2005 (which commemorates Nelson’s bi-centennial), and the Southampton Boat Exhibition in September 2005.
We are currently looking at further overseas exhibitions, namely the Monaco Boat Show and the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show.
