Posted: 24 August 2003
Standard Chartered Bank, which this year is celebrating its 150th
anniversary, has chosen Dubai to host its annual CEOs’ conference
in October.
“This is a great boost for Standard Chartered in the Emirates,”
said Ray Ferguson, Chief Executive, Standard Chartered UAE. “The
event will be attended by chief executives from Standard Chartered
Bank across 55 countries as well as the Bank’s Chairman, Board
members and members of its executive committee.
“The UAE is an extremely important country for us and the
decision to host the conference in Dubai underlines the emphasis
we place on the Emirates. The Bank has been present in the UAE since
1958 and has grown to become a leading international bank in the
country with customers across all the Emirates.”
The three-day CEOs’ conference will be held at the Royal
Mirage hotel in Dubai, where Standard Chartered Bank’s recently
appointed Chairman, Bryan Sanderson, CBE, and Chief Executive Mervyn
Davies are expected to lead attendees through a strategic process
on vision and mission implementation.
“This is the first time in the Bank’s 45 year history
in the Emirates that the UAE has been asked to host this prestigious
event, which this year has even more importance since it coincides
with the Bank’s 150th year celebrations – indeed a milestone
to have crossed,” said Ferguson.
