\nAdrian Shaw is CEO of Chattels & More<\/a>\u2014\u00a0a UAE homegrown contemporary furniture brand<\/a> belonging to the AL Gurg Group. The company, founded in 2016, also specialises in accessories for living, dining and bedrooms.<\/p>\n
\nI like to start my day by checking out the news. I like to keep myself informed about the happenings around the world, in the country and in the region. I am more inclined towards the business segment to understand the challenges of the economy and any major changes in the sector.<\/p>\n
\nBond, James Bond.<\/p>\n
\nMy Greatest achievement must be creating and launching \u2018Chattels and More\u2019. The whole experience has been surreal from the start from deciding on the name to now opening new stores across the region and now Internationally.<\/p>\n
\nI would tell my 13-year-old self \u201cDon\u2019t worry and be happy\u201d<\/p>\n
\nI would like to spend my time with my family and kids in Dubai.<\/p>\n
\nMy dad has always been my inspiration. He is so hard-working, and I have always wanted to be that good and passionate about working. I would also want to acquire his traits as he is the most generous person I have ever met and would want to work towards being one.<\/p>\n
\nMy goal for the next 10 years is to launch a Chattels & More store in London. It is something that I am working towards and manifesting for some time. The launch will be close to my heart and will be a full circle for my career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
