I did mention in an earlier post, that my business will be going through some changes this month and I can now confirm that I will be moving premises and getting a new studio to work in! I will be hiring some additional staff to help out with work and I will also be travelling a bit more to source and execute work-the company I am working with has offices in a few countries outside of Dubai , which is very exciting for me because I have never had the resources to expand like that before!
All in all, I think this will be a very exciting new direction for my business and one which I am ready to take….what I do is extremely specialised , and in most cases, very much part of a luxury, niche market. The company I will be aligning myself with has a lot of contacts in this market and I hope that my business will be adding value to theirs and theirs to mine.
I will be focusing on a very select type of project and providing a very high level of service and quality. This is going to require intense training for my staff and a LOT of supervision and direction once they get on site. I also plan to train someone to be “me”when I am out of the office and checking on other sites …this should free me up somewhat and allow me to actually have a life!
My main goal over the past two or three years was to recover from the massive hit I took during the collapse of the construction and property industry in Dubai, but now that we are in recovery , I feel like I can finally focus on balancing my life more…more exercise, more socialising with friends and family, and more time to do some things I love- like painting for myself and not just for clients!
All in all, I feel very positive going ahead and I hope to have some amazing projects to feature on my blog this year, particularly projects outside of Dubai!

That all sounds very exciting! So you will be visiting me in Rome then?
