UK Trade & Investment and Invest Northern Ireland have arranged the visit, which is taking place between Oct. 8 and 11 and will feature an evening reception at the British Embassy on Oct. 9.

A number of designers from the UK will travel to the Kingdom to explore the opportunities here for providing people in Saudi Arabia with high end, luxurious furnishings and furniture.

The group will also meet Saudi designers and discuss the best ways of working together and sharing expertise, in order to fulfill the needs of the Saudi market.

The companies taking part in the trade mission range from lighting specialists to leading experts in textiles.

All of the designers involved in this trade mission are hoping to gauge the tastes and styles of the Saudi market, as well as making contact with potential customers and possible representatives.
