It's been nearly two weeks since I landed in AD, and it really has been non stop since I got here! Overnight flight from Heathrow, landing at 7.30am and literally in the office for 10.30. First impressions, (which always count) are very good. Abu Dhabi is a nice place, nice people, nice environment, just crazy driving! But more about that some other time. Somethings over hear will get a bit of getting used to, if at all possible, working on a Sunday for one, but then having a Friday off for another! It's like an upside down weekend, where Friday is the relaxing one and Saturday is the busy one.
Work wise, we got our latest issue of Gulf Interiors completed and off to the printers. It came back a few days back, and everyone seemed really happy with it. We also firmed up the plan for the next launch, a magazine alongside the jewel in the Turret ME crown that is the World Future Energy Summit. Talking of which, Turret ME are pretty pleased to have won two awards the other week at the Middle East Event Industry Awards, WFES won Best Congress in the Middle East and Taste of Dubai won Best Fair! Not a bad achievement for two launch events!
As if it's not going to get busy enough now with two mags, we are close to (hopefully) confirming a further launch, which when it happens will make us busier than the busiest people in Busysville! We worked on dummies this week and seem to be close to a finished product. Can't say too much now, a bit secret squirrel and don't want to jinx things, but hopefully soon. Personally, I'm really excited about this one!
