BPL Global launches Dubai office
Specialist credit and political risk insurance broker BPL Global has opened an office in Dubai as it targets further growth.
Based in the Dubai International Financial Centre, the office which will be headed up by Harriet Smith, takes the number of BPL Global offices to five.
Smith has previously worked in the Middle East as an analyst and joined BPL Global in 2011.
Smith said: “The banking, commodity trading, engineering and construction industries in Dubai offer significant opportunities for the CPRI market, with which BPL Global is synonymous, and I’m excited at the prospect of contributing to our growth in the region.”
Charles Berry, BPL Global chairman, added: “Dubai is becoming an important hub for global business with an increasing number of our multinational clients, as well as insurers, establishing a presence in the DIFC.
“This move will allow us to continue to follow our existing clients’ global expansions, as well as putting us in a strong position to develop new business locally."
