The British Chamber of Commerce Qatar (BCCQ) will mark the beginning of a new chapter for the UK–Qatar business community with a welcome event on January 27 at JW Marriott Marquis City Center Doha.
The event, scheduled from 8pm to 10pm, will bring together members and partners of the UK–Qatar business community, reuniting long-standing QBBF members with new members and guests, while outlining the chamber’s vision and priorities for 2026 and beyond.
As 2025 drew to a close, the Qatar British Business Forum (QBBF) completed its transition to become the BCCQ, positioning the organisation as a fully fledged and operational chamber aligned with the global British Chambers of Commerce network.
British ambassador Neerav Patel, who serves as BCCQ’s honorary president, will attend the launch and address guests during the programme. In a statement ahead of the event, the chamber noted that its new status will strengthen connections within the UK–Qatar business community, while supporting collaboration, trade, and growth.
BCCQ added that it will continue to work closely with the Department for Business and Trade at the British Embassy in Doha, reinforcing efforts to expand bilateral trade and investment.
Organisers said the welcome event will highlight the chamber’s strategic vision, explain how it will support members locally and internationally, and celebrate the start of a new chapter for the UK–Qatar business community.
