Local networking
Today we met with another Australian husband and wife small business team here in Dubai who reminded us of the importance of having a solid and trustworthy network. Clayton and Jade run a home maintenance and fly screen installation company called CMServices.
We reached out to Clayton as we’d heard he was installing a unique fly screen system and wanted to assure him that we weren’t coming into the marketplace as competitors. In fact, the more we spoke the more we realised we offer very complimentary products.
Not all the people who have contacted us at Safety Screens can afford to invest in our premium safety and security screens. Our products are a lot more robust than a standard fly screen and as such, cost more.
Clayton was also very generous in sharing some of his hard won lessons learnt from setting up and operating a small business in the UAE. I hope we’ll build a solid complimentary partnership moving forward.
