Dubai International Chamber: Promoting Dubai as a Strategic Global Business Hub

The Dubai International Chamber’ strategic initiatives aimed at promoting Dubai as a global business hub, fostering bilateral trade, and empowering businesses through a range of innovative services.

Wed, Jun 19, 2024 5 min

The Dubai International Chamber, part of the Dubai Chambers umbrella, opened its first office in Australia in 2023. This expansion is a strategic move to enhance Dubai’s global presence and support its economic growth goals under the “D33” plan, which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy by 2033.

Leading the Australia office from Sydney is Ms. Sophia Demetriades Toftdahl, who brings over 25 years of experience in the international education and trade sectors as a coach and consultant. She is the founding President of the Norwegian Australian Chamber of Commerce (NACC), established in 2014, the main organizer of Euromix, a networking event for all EU Chambers in Australia, and a Co-Chair of the Revenue Enablement Society (RES).

In this interview with Sophia, we will explore the Chamber’s objectives in Australia, including promoting Dubai as a global business hub, facilitating bilateral trade and investment opportunities, and providing valuable services to empower businesses.

Can you provide us with an overview of the Dubai International Chamber’s operations in Australia? 

The Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers along with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy, opened its first office in Australia in 2023.

This expansion is part of a broader strategy to enhance Dubai’s global presence and support its economic agenda, particularly the “D33” plan, which aims to double the size of Dubai’s economy by 2033.

The primary objectives of the Chamber in Australia include promoting Dubai as a strategic global business hub, facilitating bilateral trade and investment opportunities, and providing innovative value-added services to empower businesses. We are not a membership organization in Australia, we operate as a trade office.

By supporting and protecting the interests of Dubai’s business community, the Chamber seeks to drive competitiveness and business growth, positioning Dubai as one of the top three cities globally for living, investing, and working.

Are there specific sectors that could benefit more from trade with UAE/Dubai?

We are sector agnostic, and we explore a wide range of industries for potential collaboration and growth. Key sectors include biotech, MedTech, big pharma, renewable and sustainable energy, smart city and urban planning, high-tech industries such as AI and robotics, defense, aerospace, manufacturing, tourism, and food & beverage. We are also working on getting more attention from family businesses to invest in Dubai.

For Australia specifically, we see strong potential in FinTech, HealthTech, and AgriTech, where innovative solutions and technologies can greatly benefit from strengthened trade and investment ties with Dubai.

What kinds of support and services does the Dubai International Chamber offer to businesses in Australia looking to expand into Dubai?

The Dubai International Chamber provides support services to businesses in Australia looking to expand into Dubai. This includes access to market research and data, assistance with licensing, bank openings, and site selection, and support in identifying potential partners.

Our dedicated account managers help businesses during the setup process and offer them continuous support throughout the first year to help them scale up and continue their expansion.

The Chamber also facilitates B2B and B2G meetings and visits, helps resolve teething issues such as real estate choices and school selections, and offers follow-up virtual calls to support the evaluation process.

Additionally, the Chamber provides guidance on how to manage to establish a business and offers investment incentives, including access to the Golden Visa program, which provides long-term residency benefits for investors and entrepreneurs.

It also facilitates business networking opportunities for businesses by providing contact with senior Australian and Emirati officials, government bodies, and government-linked entities. It assists Australian companies and organizations in connecting with their UAE counterparts, promoting both Australian and Emirati businesses, and fostering new opportunities and enterprises.

The Chamber actively builds and develops stronger ties and mutual understanding between Australia and Dubai, ensuring that members have the necessary connections and resources to thrive in both markets.

What are the key areas of trade and investment that the Dubai Chamber focuses on between Australia and Dubai? 

The UAE is Australia’s largest trade and investment partner in the Middle East, with $9.3 billion in two-way goods and services trade in 2022, making it Australia’s 19th largest trading partner globally. Key Australian exports to the UAE include alumina, meat, oil seeds, and higher education, while UAE investment in Australia totaled $12.6 billion in 2022.

Approximately 300 Australian entities currently operate in the UAE, including 60 in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). Notably, the UAE has been the second top export destination for Australian vegetables for over a decade, with exports reaching $32 million in 2021.

Dubai alone contributes 78% to the total UAE-Australia trade. The UAE presents an opportunity for market diversification for Australian goods exporters, with Australian producers serving as reliable trade and food security partners for the UAE. Additionally, trade in services such as construction, minerals, resources, engineering, education, agribusiness, and health offers further opportunities for both nations.

The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between Australia and the UAE aims to enhance economic ties by reducing trade barriers, facilitating smoother trade flows, and creating new opportunities for businesses in both countries. The CEPA benefits both nations by promoting increased trade and investment, fostering innovation, and enhancing economic growth. For more detailed information on the CEPA, you can visit the DFAT page.

Mr. Marwan AlMarri visited Australia end of May, and it his first business mission to Australia as the Regional Director of Asia & APAC for Dubai Chambers… What were the reasons behind his visit, and what significance does it hold?

The main purpose of this mission was meeting in person with some of the multinational corporations (MNCs) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in various stages of their expansion into Dubai. Marwan also met with various government entities responsible for the internationalization of Australian companies, such as Austrade and Investment NSW.

Additionally, he engaged with different business groups like the Australian Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Australia UAE Business Council. The mission also involved meetings with trade associations in relevant sectors, including the Australian EV Association (AEVA), Electric Mobility Manufacturers of Australia (EMMA), Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), Australian Energy Council (AEC), and Australian FinTech.

Furthermore, Marwan had the chance to meet with Dubai company DP World operating in Australia, to discuss future collaboration.

How does this event align with the broader goals and objectives of the Dubai Chamber?

The mission fostered strategic relationships and facilitated business expansion. It included meetings with MNCs and SMEs, government entities, ethnic business groups, and trade associations, which are crucial for the internationalisation of Australian companies. These engagements will help promote Dubai as a business hub and support Australian companies in their expansion into Dubai.

The mission’s aim was to strengthen ties and create opportunities for collaboration, aligning with the Chamber’s key performance indicators (KPIs) of promoting competitiveness and business growth.

What are the future plans for the Dubai International Chamber in Australia?

Having launched the Dubai International Chamber in Australia a year ago, our current focus is on strengthening the business corridor and enhancing our visibility so that businesses are aware of our presence and how we can support them.

Subsequently, we will extend our efforts towards New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. And we encourage interested parties in these regions to reach out to us now.

Diriyah and RICS Collaborate to Enhance Saudi Talent Development

Diriyah Company has joined forces with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to significantly boost the training and development of Saudi talent.

Wed, Jun 12, 2024 2 min

The recently signed MoU between Diriyah Company and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) marks a significant step towards strengthening the training and development of Saudi talent, fostering knowledge transfer, and establishing comprehensive learning and development plans within the built environment sector.

The MoU, signed by Abdullah Al-Othman, Chief Human Capital Officer at Diriyah Company, and Belinda Howell, Executive Director of Regulation & Assurance Operations at RICS, will promote and support the growth of Diriyah’s skilled workforce. The agreement initially targets the training of 15 Saudis from the Diriyah Company team, with the potential to expand beyond that, based on the needs of the organization.

The partnership will exclusively target employees of Diriyah Company, providing necessary training for young Saudi talent, mid-management professionals (both Saudi and non-Saudi), and potentially senior staff. The training program will primarily be conducted in Riyadh through webinars and in-person sessions, minimizing disruption to business operations. There are also opportunities for international training, based on the needs of the organization.

Key areas of collaboration will include training and guidance, facilitating the transfer of knowledge to young Saudi professionals in the fields of Cost and Commercial Management, Project Management, Asset and Facilities Management, Real Estate Advisory, Procurement, and Tendering, highlighting essential business, budgeting, and cost control skills. Professionals within Diriyah Company will also receive advice on the most suitable membership routes, from preparing development plans to overseeing the membership journey of young local talent to support their career development.

A joint working team, comprising representatives from both Diriyah Company and RICS, will be formed to activate areas of collaboration, and will prepare and submit progress reports to both organizations to enable continuous development of the agreed upon programs. Awareness sessions will demonstrate the advantages of RICS membership and the comprehensive courses covering RICS pathway competencies. The MoU will also include a track for building conservation and collaboration on achieving sustainability goals, ensuring that historic buildings are effectively managed, certified, and preserved.

Mr. Jerry Inzerillo, Group CEO of Diriyah Company, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate with RICS to bring the immense benefits of their programs to our employees and projects by adopting global standards in training and development. It is a significant step towards enhancing our professional capabilities and ensuring the preservation of Diriyah’s rich heritage.”

Mr. Justin Young, Global CEO of RICS, said: “Our collaboration with the Diriyah Company underscores our commitment to promoting cultural, economic, and professional growth within Saudi Arabia. By supporting Diriyah Company, we aim to highlight the roots of this ancient city and its history across various fields, including culture, arts, and knowledge.”

This MoU aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative, which emphasizes the need to consolidate efforts, simplify procedures, and empower entities to deliver on their responsibilities. Diriyah Company remains committed to transforming Diriyah, The City of Earth, into a global destination enriched with culture, entertainment, education, and arts. Collaborating with government and private agencies, the company aims to contribute to the Kingdom’s cultural and economic development while enhancing the effectiveness of government initiatives.

Cisco released the Talos Incident Response (IR) Quarterly Trends Report for Q1 2024.

The report offers key insights on top attacker trends, latest developments in ransomware, and most targeted sectors

Wed, May 29, 2024 3 min

Cisco, a global leader in technology services, recently published the Talos Incident Response (IR) Quarterly Trends Report for the first quarter of 2024. Compiled by the Cisco Talos Intelligence Group, this report sheds light on the prevailing cyber threats and provides strategic insights aimed at fortifying organizations against cyberattacks.

In the latest report, Business Email Compromise (BEC) has emerged as the foremost cyber threat, accounting for 46% of all Cisco Talos IR engagements. This marks a notable increase from the previous quarter and involves attackers impersonating legitimate business contacts to send deceitful emails that may contain harmful links or arranged financial fraud.

Multi-Factor Authentication

The report also highlights ongoing challenges with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). A new phishing tool known as Tycoon 2FA has been identified, capable of avoiding MFA protections. This underscores the continued efforts by attackers to exploit weaknesses in MFA implementations.

Weaknesses involving MFA were observed within nearly half of engagements, with the top weakness being users accepting unauthorized push notifications, occurring within 25% of engagements. The lack of proper MFA implementation followed closely, accounting for 21% of engagements.

Ransomware

Ransomware incidents, previously the dominant threat in the final quarter of 2023, saw an 11% reduction, comprising 17% of total engagements. In the first quarter of 2024, Talos IR encountered new versions of Phobos and Akira ransomware, alongside continuing challenges from established threats like LockBit and Black Basta.

Notably, a recent analysis revealed that Akira ransomware has reintroduced encryption tactics to enhance its extortion capabilities, now executing a diversified assault strategy on both Windows and Linux platforms.

Additionally, Cisco’s security experts detected a range of other security threats, including data theft extortion schemes, brute-force attacks on virtual private network (VPN) systems, and attacks involving the known Gootloader malware.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing continues to be heavily targeted by cyber attackers, maintaining its status from the fourth quarter of 2023. It represented 21% of all incident response engagements, slightly more than the education sector. Healthcare, public administration, and technology sectors were also notably targeted, each tying for the third most affected sector.

The manufacturing industry saw a 20% rise in cyber incidents compared to the previous quarter, attributed to its critical need for uninterrupted operations. The threats faced by this sector included not only financially driven attacks like BEC and ransomware but also brute-force attacks targeting VPN infrastructures.

In terms of attack techniques, the prevalent method for initial access involved compromised credentials, which accounted for 29% of engagements, marking a significant increase of 75% from the previous quarter. The manipulation of email settings to hide malicious activities emerged as the most common evasion tactic, likely fueled by the rise in BEC and phishing incidents, accounting for 21% of engagements.

Fady Younes, Managing Director for Cybersecurity at Cisco Middle East & Africa, says, “We have seen significant changes in the way attackers approach their malicious activities since last year. In this complex landscape full of rapidly evolving threats, a holistic digital security strategy that focuses on proactive cybersecurity measures is of critical importance. At Cisco, we are leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI, to help organizations embed advanced security controls across their infrastructure to prevent, detect, and effectively respond to all forms of cyberattacks.”

The implementation of MFA and a single sign-on system ensures only trusted parties can access corporate email accounts to prevent the spread of BEC. Lack of MFA remains among the biggest impediments for enterprise security. All organizations should implement some form of MFA, such as Cisco Duo. Meanwhile, EDR solutions like Cisco Secure Endpoint can detect malicious activity on organizations’ networks and machines. In addition, Cisco’s Snort and ClamAV signatures can block many well-known ransomware families distributed in Q1 2024, such as Black Basta and Akira.

The Best Outdoor Furniture Stores in Australia in 2023
By Robyn Willis
Fri, Nov 4, 2022 6 min

Outdoor furniture is not what it used to be. Long gone are the rickety timber settings and faded plastic chairs. Thanks to innovations in surface development, outdoor furniture and fabrics can now be hard to distinguish from their indoor counterparts. Water, UV and mould resistant, they have been engineered to withstand weather conditions while still maintaining their good looks. With summer almost here, we’ve assembled our best 10 outdoor furniture retailers to ensure that when the sun comes out, you’re ready to enjoy your own great outdoors.

Tait

Susan and Gordon Tait started their outdoor furniture business in 1992 with a commitment to Australian designed and made outdoor furniture created to withstand local conditions. Thirty years later, they have an enviable reputation for sustainability, offsetting 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide and diverting almost a tonne of soft plastic from landfill each year, as well as continuing to manufacture out of Melbourne. Oh, and their ranges of steel and timber chairs, tables, benches and accessories have a timeless beauty and durability that makes them incredibly desirable.
madebytait.com.au

Mamagreen

Another business committed to sustainable practices, Mamagreen furniture is manufactured using materials that are either recycled or can be recycled. More than 90 percent of the teak Mamagreen uses is sourced from old buildings, with the remaining timber from managed plantations. If you’re looking for that resort feel at home, this is the place to go. In fact, their products can be found in hotels around Australia. We love the circular Begonia lounge, which is perfect for hosting friends while, for shade, you can’t go past the flexible Sombrero shade.
mamagreen.com.au

Coco Republic

This Australian business headed up by Anthony Spon-Smith has been making great strides with its outdoor furniture ranges in recent years. Perhaps more than any other of the leading brands, the outdoor furniture looks and feels like the indoor equivalent, with upholstered seating (designed to get wet and dry off quickly) and chunky timber or stone-look tables and pedestals. Taking inspo from Mediterranean resorts like the French or Italian Riveras, this is one brand worth staying home for.

Cosh Living

No photo description available.

Founded in 2008 on an ethos of Live Life Well, Cosh Living offers a comprehensive range of products for outdoor use, from pots, tables and chairs, through to outdoor lighting, rugs, daybeds and more. With leading brands such as Manutti, Tribu, Dedon and Coast at their disposal, the look is one of relaxed sophistication, whether it’s a bean bag poolside or an oversized sofa on the deck. With such an extensive range of products, this is one company where a visit to the showroom is useful, to help coordinate your look.

Eco Outdoor

Equally well known for their range of outdoor building supplies such as pavers, walling and pool surfaces, Eco Outdoor’s selection of outdoor furniture is just as popular, thanks to its focus on European styling and durability. Specifically designed for outdoor living, there’s everything from outdoor dining tables and chairs in teak, wicker or aluminium through to lounges, beanbags and umbrellas. With showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, you can drop in and assess the quality for yourself.

Satara

Whatever you need to furnish your outdoor space, chances are Satara has it. From lounge chairs and barstools to outdoor rugs and pot stands, this retailer has everything you need to create a comfortable and stylish outdoor space. With showrooms in most capital cities, you can experience the quality for yourself before making a final purchase. Designs range from classic Australian style through to contemporary Euro.

GlobeWest

If it’s flexible outdoor furniture with modern lines you’re after, check out the range of sofas, coffee tables and dining suites from GlobeWest. Materials range from teak and aluminium to woven resin and ceramic in contemporary styles suited to a variety of architectural styles. Available direct to trade, the website also has an easy stockist search option to locate your nearest retailer.
globewest.com.au

Cotswold Furniture

There’s a reason why this legendary outdoor furniture supplier has been in business for more than 40 years. Known for its classic, durable outdoor furniture, Cotswold has longstanding associations with brands such as Vincent Sheppard and Fast Outdoor Lifestyle, as well as Cotswold Teak. While their loyal client base loves the classics, including Lloyd Loom and teak Adirondack chairs, this company has continued to evolve and innovate with contemporary ranges designed to stand the test of time.
cotswoldfurniture.com.au

Ikea

 

It’s hard to go past Ikea for knockabout, versatile outdoor furniture that retains a sense of style. If you have an outdoor space to fill, chances are Ikea has the chair, lounge, outdoor table or accessories to fill it. We particularly love the classic moulded frame of the Skarpo chair (pictured) but could be persuaded by the highback woven Hogsten chair. For smaller spaces, the Torparo is a great shelf or mini table you can attach to the railing or fence.

Castlery

This largely online furniture retailer initially sought to provide adaptable, compact furniture for the apartment market in Singapore. As it turns out, it’s a great fit for the Australian market too, as backyards and balcony spaces decrease in size. The range of dining and lounge suites is classic, with slimline armrests and legs. Colours are limited to greys and beiges but could easily be brightened up with accent cushions if that’s your style.

How do I choose the right outdoor dining setting for me?

While many of the same principles apply whether you’re dining indoors or out, the big difference is the weather. Outdoor furniture can take a beating if it is exposed to UV and rain for extended periods of time, so your choice will depend on whether your furniture will at least have some covering or will most likely be completely in the elements. Aluminium furniture can be a great option because it is lightweight and easy to move around, while teak ages to silver grey when left in the sun. If space is a factor, folding or stackable chairs can be useful.

What’s the difference between indoor lounge cushions and the ones on outdoor lounges?

Outdoor cushions are specially designed for the weather conditions, with quick dry foam inserts to allow water to drain away relatively fast. They’re also covered with UV, water and mould resistant fabrics specified for outdoor use. Sunbrella is the market leader for outdoor fabrics in Australia and uses solution dyed acrylic to create fabrics that are almost indiscernible from their indoor equivalents. Interior designers have been known to specify high quality outdoor fabrics for use in high traffic indoor spaces, such as family and rumpus rooms.

I have an outdoor space I want to furnish. Should I choose a lounge suite or a dining setting?

It’s really a lifestyle decision here. If you enjoy entertaining friends regularly, a dining setting might be the most useful option. In some homes, outdoor dining might also provide a bit more room to move, making it a great option for hosting bigger groups. However, if you already have an indoor dining setting facing onto the outdoor space, there’s not much point doubling up. An outdoor lounge can create a flexible space for casual relaxation, or somewhere to sit to enjoy coffee or drinks with friends before or after dinner.

Top 10 Interior Designers in Sydney 
By Robyn Willis
Wed, Aug 31, 2022 5 min

Everyone knows everything is bigger, bolder and better in Sydney, including interior design. Here’s our top 10 list of movers and shakers in the design world, from the big names, to the emerging practices, as well as a few hidden gems. 

 

GREG NATALE 

Greg_Natale

Natale has been running his own practice for more than 20 years now, which has grown from residential design to include a mini empire of rugs, soft furnishings and tiles to tableware and decor items such as vases and bookends. He has released three books, the latest, The Layered Interior, is about to be released. Expect pattern, colour and, above all, glamour as he leans into everything from old Hollywood to European Art Deco. 

Picture: Anson Smart 

YSG 

YSG

This young practice, headed up by design ingenue Yasmine Soleh Ghoniem, has built a reputation for out-of-the-box interiors that experiment with colour, shape, pattern and texture. Not an aesthetic for the faint-hearted, the YSG look has nonetheless garnered considerable interest with its youthful, innovative approach. At the moment, the look is rich earth tones of terracotta and sage green but expected the unexpected from this exuberant studio. 

 

ARENT & PYKE 

ARENT & PYKE 

There’s a reason why this dynamic team of Sarah-Jane Pyke and Juliette Arent keep sweeping the awards pool every year. Their colour-rich spaces perfectly balance to-die-for aesthetics with the practicalities of family life, creating spaces that are at once classic and utterly contemporary. Celebrating their 15th anniversary in 2022, they continue to demonstrate that they are masters of manipulating space and light. 

Picture: Anson Smart

 

KAREN AKERS 

Karen Akers

Her name may not be so familiar, but this talented designer knows a thing or two about creating classic interiors that are neither conservative nor dull. With a thorough understanding of colour, pattern, and texture, Akers knows how to listen to her clients and respond to their briefs with wonderfully grown up spaces that feel both inviting and invigorating. 

 

DECUS INTERIORS

DECUS INTERIORS 

It’s no wonder gifted designer Alexandra Donohue Church is in demand with architects such as Luigi Rosselli with her creation of seemingly effortless spaces that are both subtle and sophisticated. While the mood is often one of exclusivity and lashings of style thanks to her love of natural stone and judicious use of jewel-like tones, there’s also an element of the surprise. Expect to fall in love. 

Picture: Anson Smart

 

ALEXANDER & CO 

ALEXANDER & CO 

Popular with the eastern suburbs set, architect Jeremy Bull has created a design studio that understands natural light incredibly well, perfectly walking the line between drawing it in and keeping it at bay when the sun is beating down. With extensive experience working with older properties as well as more contemporary home, he knows how to champion original architecture while creating beautiful spaces perfect for modern living. 

 

HORTON & CO 

HORTON & CO 

Ok, so strictly speaking, this design practice is based in Newcastle, but director Stewart Horton sharpened his skills in Sydney interior design firms before heading north in 2010 to open his own practice and realise his clients’ dreams of beautiful, classically designed homes. A champion of heritage homes under threat, Horton has breathed beautiful new life into grand old homes with his own definition of coastal luxe. Think smart, sophisticated spaces that embrace that indoor/outdoor lifestyle and you’re on the right track. 

 

 

SARAH DAVISON 

SARAH DAVISON  (1)

Biophilia might be all the rage now but Sarah Davison was doing it before it was cool. This Potts Point-based designer knows how to create stunning homes that embrace their environment without missing out on the best that city living has to offer. Natural materials such as stone, timber and leather create a palette that doesn’t just look beautiful, but feels incredible as well. With a thorough understanding of the design rules, Davison isn’t afraid to weave in the unexpected to surprise and delight. 

 

HARE+ KLEIN 

 

HARE+ KLEIN 

Another firm of designers who are no strangers to awards, the team at H+K are perhaps best known for their mastery of the neutral palette, with depth and weight coming from their deep understanding of the textural qualities of materials. Just as at home with contemporary beachside homes as they are with older, industrial buildings, their work is a masterclass in managing space, light and materiality. 

Picture: Shannon McGrath

SJB 

SJB 

This multidisciplinary firm is possibly the largest firm on our list but there are few studios better equipped to meet the needs of a complex design project. From individual residences to hotels and commercial spaces, the SJB team love diving into the detail to create environments that you love being in, even if you don’t fully understand why. Materials are familiar, and yet used in ways that are wonderfully contemporary and perhaps even charming. 

  

 

How much does it cost to hire an interior designer in Sydney?  

Costs vary but expect to pay $50 to $90 an hour for a less experienced designer, up to $100 to $300 an hour for a more established name. If that seems like a lot of money, designers often have access to trade discounts and can be formidable negotiators. Clients regularly discover that the money they have saved on materials has more than paid for the design services. 

Why Hire An Interior Designer For a New House?  

There are so many reasons to hire an interior designer for a new build, not least because of the stress it will take off your shoulders. Anyone who has built their own home knows that there are dozens of decisions that need to be made on a daily basis. Having someone who has existing relationships with suppliers and is across every detail of your project will not only save you time but will result in a fully considered design that meets the needs of your whole family. 

 

When should you engage an interior designer? 

Most interior designers will tell you that it’s best to engage them as early as possible in the build and design process because it places them in the best position to create a cohesive space that looks beautiful while still being highly functional. They can provide expert advice on aspects of design like where to specify custom made joinery and the best ways to integrate everything from curtain tracks to kitchen appliances.

5 of the Best Kitchen Renovation Companies in Sydney 
By Kanebridge News
Mon, Jan 24, 2022 4 min

The kitchen is in many ways the most important part of any home.   Renovations to Kitchens can be stressful projects as you must make a lot of decisions relatively quickly, the projects are not inexpensive,  and are time consuming. 

All residential kitchen renovations are unique projects.   Successful renovations depend on what you want, the space available, your budget and your time frame. 

Working with a qualified local business which has experience in listening to your needs and supplying what you require will help take the stress out of the project.

5 Urban Landscapers in Sydney To Design Your Backyard in 2023
By Kanebridge News
Mon, Jan 24, 2022 4 min

Landscaping your residences should be much more than installing a lawn and a few plants by the perimeter.   A well-considered garden can evolve into an oasis of calm, bringing enjoyment and privacy to your family     

The value and enjoyment of a house is vastly improved by sympathetic landscaping.    A good landscaping service can tie the outdoor areas of the house to the indoors and enhance the value of both.
