Mr Şahin Gülmen, MÜSİAD UK Newcastle Representative, participated in the Asian Business Conexions (ABC) 2025 Conference, held earlier today.

Engaging with Key Regional Leaders

At the conference, Mr Gülmen had the opportunity to meet and hear from esteemed individuals, including:

  • Lord-Lieutenant Caroline Pryer, His Majesty King Charles’ representative in Northumberland
  • Superintendent Darren Adams, Northumbria Police
  • Mr Amaar Mirza CBE, Chair of Asian Business Conexions

These exchanges offered valuable insights into local development, business integration, and community engagement in the North East of England.

Strengthening Strategic Relations

Following the conference, Mr Gülmen was invited to a private meeting at Mr Mirza’s office, where a constructive discussion was held on potential areas of collaboration. Mr Mirza is widely recognised as one of the region’s most influential business leaders, with a robust network and strong business ties in both Türkiye and Saudi Arabia.

This engagement marks another important step in MÜSİAD UK’s ongoing mission to foster meaningful partnerships and expand business opportunities across regions and borders.
