Business
Gibraltar is a British overseas territory and business is
conducted in a similar fashion to Britain. Depending on individual
sectors, a formal dress code is advisable by default, as the island
has a strong military culture. A firm handshake is the norm for
both men and women and although business cards are exchanged there
is no ritual surrounding it. Punctuality is expected. General
business hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday.
