About Us

Our Council

We are an independent non-profit initiative dedicated to supporting the British community in Qatar.

Our work is overseen by the BCF Council, a group of six volunteers drawn from across the British community in Qatar. They set our strategy and keep things transparent and accountable.

Al Tamimi & Company serves as our Registered representative to the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC). Layla Husmann acts as our Enforcer, managing the BCF’s day-to-day activities and serving as Secretary to the Council.
