Tuesday update from Atyrau

Posted on: 20/05/2014 in: Opportunities for SMEs

From Kazopp MD Graham Potts, in Atyrau, Kazakhstan

The weather continues to be hot here in Atyrau, 30°C again yesterday. The main bridge from the airport to the city is closed for a couple of months, adding to the traffic chaos as the working week began here.

Business is motoring ahead however – good meetings yesterday with Denholm Zholdas, Wood Group, Worley Parsons and TCO,

There is a wealth of opportunity here if you come with a long term mentality, including training and localisation.

The Shell/UKTI UK Kazakhstan Supply Chain Forum starts today. It will feature important new initiatives to improve commercial conditions and the business environment for companies doing business and operating in Kazakhstan.

All good news for potential exporters to the country!
