Core Emirates

2023 saw the beginning of the end of the global pandemic with a return to more normal trading conditions after a long period of significant disruption.

Core Emirates weathered the period well and together with the amazing support of our staff and clients we came through with a strong order book and many successful projects undertaken.

The GCC Data Centre marketplace has grown, and Core Emirates has had significant success in that area with Commissioning Authority roles being undertaken in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Saudi and other parts of the GCC. In addition to this specialist sector, we have also been active in Aviation, Hospitality, Mixed Use, Healthcare, and Commercial developments.

With an increase in activities throughout the region, particularly in Bahrain, we increased our headcount during 2023 across all disciplines and now have qualified and skilled resource to undertake Commissioning Authority, Commissioning Management, Energy, and Fire Life Safety (FLS) auditing and design reviews for all Mechanical and Electrical services.

In support of the increase in our professional engineering resource in 2023, we also enhanced our head office operations with the appointment of Ronan Keating as Commercial Director to support our Managing and Regional Partners Lee Hewitt and Andy Britnell. Ronan brings significant commercial and cost consultancy skills to the management team.

The appointment of Ronan also enabled us to expand outside of the UAE with Andy Britnell now heading up Plan B Technical Solutions Ltd in the UK offering complementary services including dilapidation and energy performance auditing throughout the whole of the UK.

We enter 2024 excited by the opportunities available in all regions and all sectors and look forward to servicing our blue chip clients to our usual professional standards.
