We greatly appreciate the support that CBS has extended to Integrc as it complements our own efforts to generate more business prospects for investors from Northern Ireland."
Gavin Cambell, Director, Integrc MENA, said: "Technology investments have surged in the GCC region, which strongly positions Integrc MENA to address various GRC challenges of resident enterprises. It has been an exceptionally smooth start for our MENA operations mainly because of the end-to-end business setup support provided by CBS. The specialised services offered by CBS have certainly unlocked new possibilities for us as we move forward with our global growth plans."
