Dubai - The Links Group, foremost company formation specialist in the UAE and Qatar, was earlier this month awarded by the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED) for its strategic partnership with the Dubai Investment Development Agency (Dubai FDI).

The Links Group received the accolade from His Excellency Sami Al Qamzi, Director General of Dubai Department of Economic Development, at DED's 2015 Partners Forum, held at Burj Al Arab Hotel. The event sought to highlight collaborations of excellence between Dubai's public and private sectors.

Established in 2002, The Links Group is the first company of its kind to be endorsed by Dubai FDI, working with the agency to facilitate inbound and outbound trade and investment flows in the UAE. The firm now has more than 300 registered companies in its portfolio, representing combined annual revenues of over USD 3 billion to their respective economies.

In 2014 The Links Group recorded double digit growth in business for the twelfth consecutive year, largely from its strategy to target companies in their home markets. The Links Group's sound corporate governance and unique corporate nominee partner structure have also helped it attract large multinationals to the UAE.

The award was accepted by Simon Hobart, Group General Manager of The Links Group. "To be recognised by Dubai DED as one their strategic partners is a true honour for The Links Group and a testament to our continued combined efforts to make doing business in the region easier. I would like to thank all our staff for their dedication to excellence and Dubai FDI for the confidence they've placed in us to support trade and investment in the emirate."
