The Cheltenham-based firm said the first store will open in Dubai's Deira City Centre complex in July, with two more stores scheduled to open before the end of the year.

Dubai-based Al Khayyat Investments manages a number of brands and director Zaid Al Khayyat said the GCC region retail market has proved to be "recession-proof".
