About

MBC Group is notable for being the first free satellite broadcasting company service available in the Arab world, being launched in London in 1991. It moved to its current headquarters in Dubai in 2002 and has since then provided a range of television and radio channels to cater to a full cross section of society across the region.

Over 21 years he has seen the company expand massively both in the scope of its products and in the organisational efficiency within its ranks. With over twenty years’ experience in the media sector, Whitehead counts among the leading legal professionals in the sector in the Middle East.
