With expansion locations for 2018 already confirmed across Baghdad – Iraq, Khartoum – Sudan, Algiers –Algeria and Casablanca – Morocco.
A strategic move, of the expansion into these markets creative director Nahel Selo commented: “Our plans to fan out across the MENA region are primarily due to the growing demand for interior contracting and fit-out business across these regions, most of these markets have a lot of purchasing power, but not enough variety to choose from.”
Selo added: “At present most of our sales are B2B (55%) and B2C (45%), with a demand not only from consumers but also business and government entities. For future regions, we anticipate a consistent ratio in demand across these sectors and by the end of 2018 we plan on exploring further opportunities and expanding to Sudan, Algeria, Bulgaria & Canada.”
