magdas Team

 

magdas is...

open-minded, courageous, and truly good.

The magdas Team includes people from many different origins, with manifold experiences and life stories. For us, this diversity is a huge asset. It makes our social business exciting and lively. We are sustained by the deep conviction that we are all created equally.

We dare to dream and believe that we achieve what we strive for. As first movers we don?t wait for anybody else to do things, but demonstrate that we can lead the way at the same time do things differently.

We are curious, mindful of tomorrow; think outside the box, and constantly try out new ideas. We are convinced: each of us can change the world for the better.

 

We consider social business as our forte and the core of all our ventures. Regardless of whether this means perfecting the dumplings served by magdas ESSEN, or creating a fabulous event at magdas HOTEL. We always aim to act truly good ? always holding our guests dearly at heart. This is because we all magdas enjoy our work, and find it meaningful. We deem It important to know what our customers cherish. After all, we all share the same goal: to create new chances for people with limited access opportunities.
