British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Adam Thomson has said Pakistan is a good place for British businessmen to invest. He inaugurated UK beauty care retailer - Crabtree & Evelyn's first store at Dolmen City Mall, here on Saturday. Thomson and Director of UK Trade and Investment Pakistan, Francis Campbell attended the launching ceremony along with some renowned fashion celebrities and media personalities in Pakistan.
Thomson, speaking on the occasion said that Pakistan had the potential to be the primary target for owners of all British brands who wanted to benefit from this relatively untapped market. "The UK government is fully committed to building on the bilateral trade relationship between the two countries. Encouraging more British companies, including those like Crabtree and Evelyn in the retail sector, to choose Pakistan as an investment destination. This new store represents further progress towards our goal of increasing the £1.9bn worth of trade that already flows between our two countries every year to £2.5 billion by 2015," he added.
Director of Cosmo group, Fouad Sayeed said: "The opening of this facility will not only enhance the friendly image of premium retail but also provide the emotional experience and aspiration to the consumers. The company has committed itself to offer top of the line international products. As an organisation, we feel that there is great potential in Pakistan and we are glad to be at the forefront of bringing premium cosmetics for the Pakistani consumers."
