British Chamber of Commerce Qatar - formerly QBBF

In today's rapidly evolving GCC business landscape, leaders are being challenged to navigate changing roles, increasing responsibilities and conversations that don't always come naturally.

How do we build confidence when faced with uncertainty? How do we communicate effectively under pressure? And how do we lead through change while bringing others with us?

Join us on Monday 8 June at 08:00 AM for a BCCQ Member Networking & Leadership Session, with Selina Lewis, offering a practical introduction to her workshop, Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable.

This engaging and interactive session will provide science-backed, real-world strategies to help professionals strengthen communication, build confidence and lead with greater impact when it matters most.

Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce Qatar Mr. Emad Turkman MBE said:

Today, Qatar mourns the loss of one of its most respected national figures, H.E. Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah — a visionary leader whose impact on the nation will be felt for generations to come.

As one of the key architects behind Qatar’s energy transformation and industrial development, his contributions helped shape the remarkable progress and global standing the country enjoys today. Yet beyond his achievements in energy and infrastructure, it was his character, wisdom, and commitment to people that truly defined his legacy.

H.E. Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah was widely admired for his integrity, humility, and unwavering dedication to public service. He inspired many through his belief in competence, transparency, and empowering future leaders. His leadership style fostered trust, encouraged excellence, and demonstrated that true progress is built not only through projects and industries, but through investing in people and values.

The British Chamber of Commerce Qatar extends its deepest condolences to the leadership and people of Qatar, and to the family and loved ones of H.E. Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah during this difficult time.

May his legacy continue to inspire future generations, and may his soul rest in eternal peace.

The British Chamber of Commerce Qatar wishes all those celebrating a joyful and blessed Eid Al-Adha.

Eid Mubarak from all of us at BCCQ. May this special occasion bring peace, happiness and time spent with family and loved ones.
