Shopping Centre and Retail Industry in this region has evolved from corner shops to now becoming the shopping hub of the world and even more and better offering in the pipeline. And what MECSC has done is kept us, the veterans and the professionals of this industry together as one group as one community. It never fails to cease its role as a networking and knowledge hub for all of us and keeps us abreast of all what’s happening and who’s doing. RPM is indeed one of the best initiatives by MECSC and its so enriching to be associated to it both as an audience and as a contributor. And it has so much more coming. All we need to do is Stay Tuned. - Juby Jose, Head of Marketing, Specialty Leasing at Dalma Mall MECSC Regional Representative in Abu Dhabi, UAE
