Online, December 12, 2013 (Newswire.com) - THE BOX has been placed number 72 in out of 75,000 SMEs in Dubai. An outstanding feat for a company borne out of a home business, just a few years ago.

"Not bad in just eight years. It's great to be a genuine and worthy part of the country's top 100 SMEs. This year was the hardest yet in terms of competition because in this city alone there are thousands of great companies doing great things. If you look through the top 100 alone, most of their logos are instantly recognisable. Our customers have helped us become of the best growing companies in the city. Thank you." Wadih added.
