The firm has said it was set up in response to increasing demand in the MENA region.

JHC Systems, the wealth management financial technology house, has set up a new shop in Dubai -  its first office outside the UK.

The new office is in response to an “increasing demand” that JHC is experiencing in the Middle East and North Africa region, it said in a statement. 

Amer Attar will head up the branch. He joins as head of strategic alliances. 

“Opening an office in Dubai, our first outside the UK, enables us to support the demand that we have experienced to date,” John Blackman, chief executive, said. “It also demonstrates to our clients and partners that we are committed to helping them achieve their goals, as well as executing on our own global growth plans. JHC products and services have already been welcomed by firms in the region, and with the addition of Amer, we are looking forward to increasing our global reach.
