Shubbak: A Window on Contemporary Arab Culture is the registered name (Companies House number 07966699), a company limited by guarantee on the register since 2012. The registered office is at 1 Gough Square, London, EC4A 3DE, EC4A 3DE. By its SIC codes the business is in arts, sport and leisure.
Holding a licence is the expensive, slow part done. For Shubbak the question each time is only whether the role and the pay fit the current rules, and that is checked per vacancy.
