"Life is about choices and SLQ was founded to be one of those choices."

- Liya Qinisile

We're thrilled to share our story with you. After a decade immersed in the dynamic Middle East market, based in Dubai and working with leading multinational companies, we recognized a unique opportunity. In 2023, we embarked on our own journey, starting with the distribution of a single brand and product from South Africa. 
Since then, we've experienced rapid growth, expanding our portfolio significantly. This success is a testament to our ability to execute seamlessly, adapt quickly to the ever-evolving consumer landscape, and build strong, lasting partnerships.
Our core focus is introducing and marketing exceptional brands and products as their trusted distribution partner in the UAE and wider Middle East region. We act as a bridge, connecting these brands with the vibrant and demanding markets of the region.

We understand that agility and dynamism are crucial in today's fast-paced environment. That's why we've cultivated a robust network of infrastructure partners. This allows us to tailor our approach to each brand's unique go-to-market strategy, ensuring effective merchandising and impactful trade marketing initiatives that drive sales and capture market share. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and ability to adapt our operations to the specific needs and service level requirements of each customer and partner.
We're committed to achieving long-term success, and we're excited to contribute to the remarkable growth of the UAE, aligning ourselves with the ambitious goals of the D33 economic agenda and the Abu Dhabi 2030 vision. We believe in the potential of this region, and we're dedicated to playing a key role in its continued prosperity.

We invite you to explore our website and discover the brands we represent. We're confident that you'll find something that resonates with you. We look forward to partnering with you and building a successful future together.
Sincerely,

Founder of SLQ Global
