Rupert Neil Bumfrey’s Summary

Nineteen (19) years resident in GCC, with extensive knowledge of: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman & Qatar; Turkey; former Soviet States, CIS; & Sub-Continent, India & Pakistan.

Available to accept assignments ranging from 24 months down to 6 months. 2 years I find is the time taken to establish in region, when an office would have been established, with a local Partner, i.e. GCC national, & staffed by company personnel, hence my withdrawal at that time of maturity.
