Our Heritage

Since 1973 — under the patronage of the British Embassy.

The British Business Forum is a nonprofit community dedicated to fostering British business interests and promoting UK trade in Kuwait.

For half a century we have brought together entrepreneurs, executives and diplomats — building the relationships, introductions and trust that turn ambition into enterprise. From monthly speaker dinners to specialist sector groups, the Forum is where British and Kuwaiti business meet.

Today the BBF is one of Kuwait's most established business networks, welcoming members across every major industry.
