AGS Chairman visits Dubai branch https://www.agsmovers.com/news/ags-chairman-visits-dubai-branch/ Mon, 07 Nov 2016 08:13:36 +0000 https://www.agsmovers.com/?p=27064 AGS Supervisory Board Chairman, Alain Taïeb visited the Dubai branch in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday, 07 September. The two UAE AGS branches, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, have grown significantly since their opening in 2011 and Mr Taïeb commended UAE country manager, Zia Husain on his sterling job and contribution to the business growth.

Mr. Husain believes 2016 to be AGS Dubai’s most successful year to date, with the branch expecting to further increase its permanent staff members in 2017. The branch has built its business considerably since inception and its objective remains to be the most-preferred moving company in the Middle East, Mr Husain said. AGS Dubai and AGS Abu Dhabi complete around 20 to 25 moves per day in the summer.

The Dubai and Abu Dhabi branches have also decided to combine their activities and now share one warehouse which is easily accessible to both branches. This has proved to be a productive operational decision and the group believes it will result in long term cost-effective solutions for its customers.

Mr Taïeb remains highly optimistic about the future of the UAE branches and reiterated that the AGS Group will continue to support and assist them. Mr Taïeb was joined by the Group’s 2015 Top 12 Managers when they visited Dubai at the end of October.

The Top 12 Managers initiative was established in 2010 and represents the best performing branch managers for the past year. They’ve been selected based on a specific set of criteria and proved to be the group’s most excellent performers based on their wealth of experience, expertise and excellence, among other qualities. The relaxed, casual vibe of the trip to Dubai did enable managers an opportunity to engage with each other and build relationships outside of the work environment. Together with their partners, the Top 12 Managers visited some of Dubai’s most renowned tourist destinations after the customary half day workshop, spent sharing the reasons of their respective success.

AGS Facilitates Relief For Typhoon Victims https://www.agsmovers.com/news/ags-facilitates-relief-for-typhoon-victims/ Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:55:46 +0000 https://www.agsmovers.com/ags-facilitates-relief-for-typhoon-victims/ ABU DHABI: The local AGS branch in Abu Dhabi has joined forces with the UFE (French Foreign Union) to provide the packing boxes required to get emergency supplies gathered in the Emirates to displaced survivors, estimated to number over 600,000.

Super Typhoon Haiyan, which left a massive trail of devastation, ripped through the islands at wind speeds clocked at up to 315km/h. The storm has left many thousands without essential medical and food supplies.

The local branch of the UFE is busy collecting donations; the Red Cross will be responsible for distributing the supplies once they have been unpacked in the Philippines. The main goal is to get the supplies to those in need with extreme efficiency.

AGS Movers Abu Dhabi hopes their efforts make a difference and is proud to be part of the international relief effort as aid streams in from all corners of the globe.
