OUR VISION
When the Al Ghurair family started this business, more than six decades ago, it was to support the progress and development of the ‘new Dubai’ as envisaged by the country’s ambitious and visionary leadership. From nourishing the nation with the country’s first flour mill, to enabling greater financial independence with the first bank, to expanding consumer choice with Dubai’s first mall, the family is recognised as playing a pivotal role in the evolution of the UAE…a country now globally renowned for progress, innovation and future-thinking. From modest beginnings as a trading business, today, Al Ghurair is a respected regional group of businesses, with a reputation for growing with respect, humility and community focus. Our legacy is engrained into the DNA of Al Ghurair, and the nation itself; now, we take it with us as we embark on an exciting transformational journey that will shape our next chapter. By respecting the past, we look to reshape the future, to become ‘One Al Ghurair’, a business that is progressive, people-oriented, value-creating and driven by sustainable excellence.
Building on our history, and heading towards the future, our Vision is clear:
“Pioneers in the pursuit of better to enhance life, every day.”
