THE CHAIRMAN
‘It is my pleasure to introduce Mubarak & Brothers Investments. We are a young and ambitious company with a diverse outlook, born from the amazing opportunities our Nation constantly provides. The changes the UAE has experienced since we established MBI in 2003 have been truly remarkable. We have seen the country’s GDP more than double, and with this have come great prospects as well as challenges.
The population has also grown rapidly and not just in numbers. As the UAE has become more globally connected, our citizens and residents have become more diversified, more sophisticated and more aspirational with ever higher standards. The pressures these demands place on every aspect of economy and society, require a constantly evolving business dynamic that is scalable without cost to quality. This is an environment that necessitates innovation and diversification, an environment in which MBI has thrived.
To maintain our story of success and remain competitive we must of course attract and maintain the best resources, something that, I am proud to say, we have so far been successful in achieving. Unquestionably it is our people that are the resource at the heart of our success, our customers, that discern quality and recognize the value of our offer and our employees and partners, who are ambitious and motivated to work hard to provide quality and to seek differentiation through its delivery.
Under the leadership and visionary guidance of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates and the Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 we seek to rise to the challenges ahead and make them opportunities to the benefit of all’.
OUR STAFF & MANAGEMENT TEAM
Our greatest asset are all the members of the Management team who are master strategists, committed to the success of MBI. The team is dedicated and bound by the same MBI goals and vision to always deliver quality in all our endeavors.
