Firstly, lovely to meet you all! My name is Bailey, and I’m a Board Member for BITA Dubai as well as the Head of Sales for Rise Hospitality. Originally from the UK, I made the move to Dubai at the start of 2024 with my partner, overseeing the opening of Swingers, the Crazy Golf Club on Bluewaters Island as well as many other legendary brands to come.
Before joining BITA Dubai, since 2022, I have hosted a series of fantastic events at Swingers, the crazy golf club in London. We held some incredibly successful networking nights there, proving that business and a bit of friendly competition go hand in hand! Now, in Dubai, I take the lead on sourcing venues for BITA’s networking events, ensuring each one offers the perfect setting for meaningful connections that form with ease. I’ve spent my career in hospitality, building relationships, curating experiences, and making sure people have the best time—whether that’s over business lunches, networking events, or after-work drinks.
Joining BITA was a no-brainer; the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and help grow a supportive, business-driven community in Dubai is something I’m really passionate about. I thrive when I am connecting people!
As I approach my first-year anniversary of Dubai living, I am incredibly indebted to BITA for how it’s helped me find my feet here, broaden my network and even, widen my friendship circle! If you're ever at one of our events and don’t know where to start, come and say hi! I’m always happy to introduce you to the right people (and recommend a good wine while I’m at it).
Looking forward to meeting more of you and growing the BITA Dubai community together!
