Gauci will be entrusted to drive the business strategy for the UAE, and eventually the GCC.
He commented on his appointment stating: “I am thrilled to join the Gulf Bagel family in this exciting time for the company. I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge as we realise our ambitions in the region. Having an already established B2B business, I look forward to building on this while also establishing a strong B2C presence in the market, ensuring that customers can enjoy our authentic, kettle-boiled baked goods more conveniently than ever before.”
In what was its first move into the B2C market, Gulf Bagel Factory recently partnered with six Carrefour outlets in the UAE, offering their artisanal New York style bagels.
