Dubai, UAE: Links Group, the UAE's leading providers of commercial facilitation and advisory services, has appointed Non-Executive Chairman Stephen Patterson to its Board of Directors. Maintaining Links Group's commitment to independence and probity on its board through Non-Executive appointments, Stephen will support the development of the company's international business strategy.
Stephen who is based in Scotland brings to Links Group a wealth of board experience in Executive, Non-Executive and Chairman positions in large corporates to technology startups. With a proven track record in financial services, Stephen will hold the Board accountable on the delivery of the company's strategy by constructively challenging their approach.
Commenting on the new appointment, John Martin St.Valery, founding partner of Links Group, said: "We are delighted to have Stephen as a new addition to our Board and have every confidence that his extensive experience and insight will strengthen not only the services that we offer our clients, but also the overall performance of the business.
Stephen will assist in guiding the development of our international business strategy, an area which continues to grow for Links Group as foreign investors look to take advantage of the pro-business environments in the UAE and Qatar, and local governments seek to attract more private sector involvement."

About Links Group
Established in 2002, Links Group partners, protects & enables foreign companies to enter and exit the UAE and Qatar markets while protecting their status as business owners. It advises corporations and individuals on how best to structure a legal commercial presence in the Middle East that protects their ownership interests and affords clear succession planning.

The Links Group difference is that foreign companies work with a highly structured board as their local partner as opposed to an unknown individual. This structure provides foreign businesses with a corporate entity to act as their nominee, local partner, shareholder or sponsor, thereby minimising the risks associated with appointing an unknown individual nominee and satisfying corporate governance requirements.
