Travel management company Wings Corporate is to open a branch of the company in the Middle East.
The Dubai operation will service a growing clientele of oil, gas and marine companies.
Vice-president of operations Middle East and Africa Simon Phage said: "This is already a strong market for Wings so we are excited to position an operation in this key business area.
"The strategic importance of launching in Dubai is further underlined by the fact that it is a central business hub in the Middle East."
He added: "The feedback we are getting from travel bookers is that they are desperately seeking a level of service that they are not currently getting. We have tailored our business model to meet the distinctive needs of the oil and gas industry."
