In an effort to build on its presence in the region, the company is to house a number of employees and local experts at a new office base in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
A total of 25 C&W staff are now operating out of offices in the country’s capital city of Manama, with the firm’s resident partner responsible for Middle East operations Mike Atwell having overseen the office opening.
The new offices are within the Bahrain World Trade Center (BWTC), where a number of other internationally recognised businesses have a presence, including the likes of UBS, Credit Suisse, Ernst & Young and JP Morgan.

Commenting on the office opening and his company’s prospects in the Middle East, Mr Atwell said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of our new Bahrain office.
“As well as being able to directly service the local market, the new office will give us a strong platform for planned further expansion across the region into Qatar and Saudi Arabia, where we are already in detailed discussions with potential partners.”
The BWTC is among the largest development projects ever completed in Bahrain and its two towers accommodate several hundred thousand square feet of high-quality Middle East office space.
For its part, C&W remains active on a number of continents, with a new office in Rotterdam recently added to its European network.
