Mangrove Services

Our Story

Story of Mangrove Services LLC, The Pioneers of Steam Cleaning in UAE, is an atypical one. Abdul Ghafoor started Mangrove Real Estate Company in 2005. It performed exceptionally well as a very small yet highly customer focused Real Estate Brokerage firm. Since we enjoyed a very cordial relationship with our Investors, we also started managing their properties on Short-Lets basis. After 2008 when Economic crisis hit Dubai property market in a worst way, Mangrove Real Estate managed to stay liquid through its Short-Lets Business, Mangrove Apartments. At one time we had more than 40 apartments in our portfolio. However, Regulatory changes forced us to close the short-lets as it became illegal for Real Estate Brokers to Manage this business under their existing Brokerage License. Property Management License required AED 5 Million Security Deposit, we learnt. All of a sudden we did not have any business. We were Five Managers, One Driver and Two Housekeeping Staff members. On top of all due to Real Estate market collapse, the company owed AED 1.8 Million to different creditors.

This posed serious challenges of different kind and magnitude. In the absence of liquidity, it was difficult to pay salaries. However, we all stuck together and brainstormed as to what we needed to do next. The only thing that we were able to think to do next was to leverage on our knowledge of housekeeping and running efficient operations. We all enjoyed cordial relationships that we would form with our guests. We brainstormed as to how to leverage on our knowledge and experience that we had gained. We decided to Start a Green Cleaning Business that we would run with Mission and Motto as defined above. We adopted Steam Cleaning as a Principal Method of Service Delivery and Blue Ocean Strategy as Business Strategy.
