Colt expands in Dubai
Dubai has been described as "the biggest building site in the Middle East", and it has been estimated that at present 10% of the World's tower cranes are in use in Dubai.
Colt, one of Europe's leading producers of healthy, comfortable and safe conditions for the built environment, has long been present in Dubai, originally via an agent and more recently with a local branch of Colt International Limited. In order to address the growing demand for its products and services,
Colt has now formed a Limited Liability Company in joint venture with a well respected and successful local businessman, Mr Rashed Salem Abdulla Al Suwaidi.
Colt International (LLC) has an initial staff of 7 people managed by Mr Brian Suggitt; in addition to being able to call upon all the technical resources and support of the Colt Group, the LLC will have its own Technical Manager/Smoke Control expert, Mr Ron Diaper BSc (Hons).
