The continuing partnership between Dubai Investment Development Agency, Dubai FDI, an agency of Dubai Economy, and the British Centres of Business, BCB, a United Kingdom, UK, government initiative, in investment promotion and business advisory, has seen another well-known British brand entering the increasingly competitive design, advertising and digital media sector in Dubai.

Parker Design Group UK Limited, which has offices in London, Manchester and Cambridge, has chosen Dubai as their first station outside the UK to offer greater support to their multinational clientele and leverage the emirate’s advantages as a hub for creativity, innovation and global expansion.

"We are delighted to welcome Parker Design Group to Dubai and we are confident it would be a valuable addition to the creative talent and business innovations promoted by Dubai. It is an increasingly competitive field in Dubai with home-grown and multinational brands vying for glory. Parker enhances the diversity of creative solutions available in Dubai and reaffirms the opportunities present in Dubai for brands and enterprises to grow and expand," remarked Khalid Al Boom, Deputy CEO of Dubai FDI.

Established in 1995, Parker delivers strategic multi-channel solutions to varied sectors such as pharmaceutical, healthcare, education, fintech, professional services, construction, utilities, leisure, travel, medical and retail.

Terming the move to Dubai a 'natural progression' Dan Kendrew, Director, Parker Design Group UK Ltd (Dubai Branch) said, "We have been creating memorable designs for our clients in the UK and globally for over two decades. We could not have chosen a more exciting place than Dubai to launch our international office and we look forward to putting our blend of strategy and delivery into practice, and cannot wait to see the results."

Susie Isaacson, Business Operations Manager of BCB, added, "Parker is the sixth British creative industries company that we have welcomed into the BCB Incubator, further showing the strong UAE demand for UK expertise in the sector. Parker comes with an enviable portfolio of experience, clients and success and we are pleased to be supporting their journey into the UAE, particularly in Dubai."
