Kibsons, itself a family run local business, has always\nbeen dedicated to supporting suppliers and Brand\u2019s from across the UAE. It has been a key part of their values and\nethos as a business since their launch 40 years ago and they are proud to have\nplayed a role in kickstarting the success of many fabulous local brands who\nwould not be where they are today if it were not for the retail platform\nKibsons offered them. Whilst the ethos\nof supporting and championing local is not new for Kibsons as a business, it\nhas never been more important than now and as such, Kibsons is stepping up and\ndoing all they can to continue supporting existing and new brands from around\nthe country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are just a few examples of local\nSME businesses for whom Kibsons are proud to have provided a much needed lifeline\nand support network to during Covid-19: <\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Harvey & Brockless, a local producer and distributor of\nspeciality foods whose operations were largely halted due to lockdown were able\nto expand its delivery to the public due to Kibsons. \u2018If it had not been for Kibsons and its\nincreased sales, our business would not have survived as we were able to keep\nour production team busy with packing cheese, as our main business with\nairlines and hotels came to a standstill<\/em>,\u201d said Trevor\nBryant, Managing Director of Harvey & Brockless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Local company Baker\u2019s Kitchen has worked with Kibsons for\nthe last two years and they credit their ongoing partnership as one of the key\nreasons they survived Covid-19 as their core business of supplying hotels and hospitality dried up overnight. Owner Sven\nMostegl, said, \u201cKibsons\ntreat us as an extension of their team with the greatest respect and\nprofessionalism. This coupled with the increased orders and on time payments\ntruly made the difference to us at a time when our future hung in the balance<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Camel Soap Company found the Kibsons platform to be a\nvaluable lifeline in reaching their customers in the UAE throughout COVID-19.\nBahar Keshavarz, Business Development Manager said, \u201cWe\nappreciate their dedication to detail and commitment to health and safety. We\nknow our products are in good hands and will be delivered on time without any\nissues to the end customers<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kibsons is firmly committed to identifying and sourcing the\nbest in local, offering more than 75\nlocal brands for sale on their site. Members of the Kibsons team\nhave been tasked with focusing their effort on this search and as always and\nunlike the majority of other e-commerce businesses, Kibsons asks UAE businesses\nfor no listing or marketing fees, removing that barrier to entry for small\nbusinesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From fresh fruit and vegetables sourced from Badia Farms,\nMebi Farm and Al Rawafed to meat and fish delivered daily by Al Khazna Chicken,\nAl Dahra Farms and Fish Farm, Kibsons has also grown its household and dry\nstore categories to include amazing local brands such as Pure Born, Saud Camel\nSoaps, Pretty flowers, Glow Fruit Sorbet, Earth Goods and many more. In fact,\nthere is now a handy \u2018proud local\u2019 tab on the Kibsons website, so you can\nshop all their local brands in one place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018The\ndepth and breadth of local talent is incredible<\/em>\u2019<\/em> , says Halima Jumani, Director of Kibsons.\n\u2018As\na local business ourselves, that started 40 years ago right here in Dubai, we\nknow that starting and growing your own business is not easy and given the\ncurrent climate, all SMEs are struggling for survival right now. We have always\nbeen committed to supporting local and this is very much in our ethos and\nthe DNA of Kibsons, but now we are\ndoubling our efforts and looking at ways that we can help these businesses save\nmoney whilst also being introduced to \nnew potential customers through our site. The hope is customers will\nfind amazing new brands through Kibsons and in turn they will be able to help\nin keeping such businesses alive through these unprecedented times<\/em>\u2019<\/em>.\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kibsons, itself a family run local business, has always been dedicated to supporting suppliers and Brand\u2019s from across the UAE.
