He also emphasised the BBBF’s role in promoting business opportunities and providing an important networking platform for the forum’s members and their guests from both Bahrain and the UK.

“At the heart of the BBBF’s mission is to enhance the economic interests of both the UK and Bahrain in a favourable business environment.
