On 22nd May 1995, the first company under the Derby group, Derby Marketing LLC was established in the UAE. The company started out by marketing their in-house product, The Dining Plus Card, a privilege card for dining, hotel accommodation and shopping across GCC, Far East and India. The biggest recognition of the popularity and exceptional privileges provided by the card came when the Dining Plus Card was co–branded with Mashreq Bank, Standard Chartered Bank & MMI.

Along with marketing our in-house card, Derby simultaneously started making serious inroads into the UAE recruitment market. Executive Recruitment has been our main forte since then. We are also a trusted partner for outsourced staffing to several top banks, hotels, cruises and organizations across many sectors in the UAE. Derby made its name in call center operations as well, when we were responsible for handling 24×7 call center operations for Spinney’s Super Market. We also launched Concierge Services for Emirates NBD Platinum Card holders during the same period. Our business acumen, ability to deliver consistently to high profile clients and growing workforce of highly skilled professionals helped us foray into much more complex, skilled and diverse business areas like HR Co-ordination, Debt Collection, Translation Services, Injection Moulding, Concierge Services and Interior Design Consultancy Services.
