The British Ambassador to Bahrain Iain Lindsay and his UKTI team have been working closely with McLaren following the recent launch of the McLaren P1 supercar in Bahrain, with the opening of a McLaren showroom in a prestigious mall and the Formula 1 team’s participation in the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Bahrain’s Sovereign Wealth Fund, Mumtalakat, acquired a significant stake in McLaren Group Ltd in 2007 and also has a significant stake in McLaren Automotive Ltd. UKTI is in discussion with McLaren about participation in a major Embassy event in Bahrain in 2013/14.
As part of his commercial outreach during FCO Leadership week, the Ambassador accompanied by the Head of UKTI Bahrain Debbie Dixon, visited the state-of-the art McLaren manufacturing facility in Woking, Surrey.
