I
congratulate Mr. Nadeem Mirza on publishing business
directory of Pakistan origin businesses, professionals
involved in the fields of Banking, Accountancy, Legal,
Management, Transportation, Property and Education.
A need for such directory always existed and often visiting
businessmen from Pakistan approached High Commission
requiring such compiled information. The publication
of this directory will now fill the vacuum and the business
communities of Pakistan and UK will benefit a great
deal.
The
format of the directory providing listing in alphabetical manner and on
sectoral basis gives clarity and convenience to find the required
information with ease. The directory being available on net will even
make the business contact development much easier and pre-planning for
their business trip. Another major milestone of the directory is
information on establishing business in UK, Taxation rules, Banking
facilities and Legal requirements etc. The directory also contains
trade and investment policies of Pakistan to help the local business
community of UK in understanding the trading and investment
requirements in Pakistan. The information on travel and tourism and
basic economic data will also help the business community to plan their
visit hassle free.
I have no
doubt in my mind that the directory will help in furtherance of
bilateral trade relationship and major beneficiaries of this directory
would be small and medium size enterprises of two countries desiring to
expand their businesses.
I am
confident that Eilaf Media Services team will continue its research to
keep the directory updated on yearly basis on the pattern of other
directories published by various Chambers on yearly basis. This is
extremely essential not only to provide updated information but also to
bring in the changes brought in the policy by the Government.
Pakistan
High Commission wishes to acknowledge the great effort of Eilaf Media
Services in publishing this directory and assures its support to make
it popular amongst the visiting businessmen.
I wish Mr
Nadeem Mirza and his team a great success on their well researched
effort.
