Our values are in line with

The 8 Principles of Dubai

as issued by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. These are the principles upon which the Dubai government was founded and continues to abide by:

1

The Union Is The Foundation

Dubai is an integral part of the UAE and a pillar of the federation. The Emirate’s destiny is entwined with the UAE’s destiny, its well-being is vital to the UAE, and its people are ever-willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the country. The Union’s interest is above local interest, the Union’s laws transcend our laws and legislations, the Union’s policy is our policy, and the Union’s government priorities are our government’s priorities.

2

No One Is Above The Law

Justice is the basis of a strong and proud nation, and guarantees prosperity and stability. No one is above the law in Dubai, Starting with the ruling family. e law does not discriminate between citizens and residents, rich and poor, male and female, Muslims and non-Muslims. Justice delayed is justice denied. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”. I renounce unfair practice or conduct of any person, and the ruling family shall likewise renounce any form of injustice as long as it governs the Emirate.

3

We Are A Business Capital

The Government of Dubai aims to improve the lives of its people through strengthening its economy. Dubai does not invest or involve itself in politics, and does not rely on politics to ensure its competitiveness. We extend a hand of friendship to all those who hold good intentions towards Dubai and the UAE. Dubai is a politically neutral business-friendly global hub that focuses on creating economic opportunities.

4

Three Factors Drive Growth

Dubai’s growth is driven by three factors: a credible, resilient and excellent government; an active, fair and open private sector; and public and government-owned flagship companies that compete globally, and generate an income for the government, jobs for its citizens, and assets for future generations.

5

Our Society Has A Unique Personality

Our society is a respectful and coherent one, bound by tolerance and openness. It distances itself from all forms of discrimination and biasness. It is a disciplined society, committed to its promises, timelines and covenants. We are modest about our successes, perseverant in dealing with challenges, charitable and generous in achieving the greater good, and open to everyone.

6

We Believe In Economic Diversification

Economic diversification has been the foundation of our unwritten constitution in Dubai since 1833. The changing times and the rapid developments make our commitment to this principle everlasting. Our new goal is to create at least a new economic sector every three years that will be productive, contribute to our GDP, and generate jobs.

7

A Land For Talent

Dubai has always relied on talented tradesmen, administrators, engineers, creatives, and dreamers for its success. The Emirate’s prominence, sustainability and competitiveness depend on its capacity to continue attracting skilled and talented people, and nurturing the brightest minds to generate innovative ideas. We have to continually review and renew our policies and procedures to ensure our appeal to talented individuals. We must build the best environment in Dubai for the world’s leading minds.

8

We Care About Future Generations

The destiny of our future generations must not be affected by the fluctuations of regional politics and global economic cycles. We invest and create valuable assets for them. Our fundamental rule in this regard is that the government should, under all circumstances, own economic assets that are worth at least 20 times the value of its annual budget. We work towards maintaining a secure future, and we are focused today on ensuring the prosperity of our future generations.

Our History

This is the front view of the Origin offices, located in the UK. Oryx doors is the sole supplier of Origin in the Middle East.

This journey began with the introduction of the Origin brand, the UK’s leading specialist manufacturer of bespoke aluminium Origin Folding Sliding Doors and Windows. Precision-engineered from high-grade aluminium, Origin’s unique products offer versatility, durability and exquisite style, to help turn any property into an awe-inspiring home.

 

Guy set up Oryx Door Systems in Dubai in 2011, after helping to establish Origin as the UK’s foremost manufacturer of aluminium folding sliding doors in the UK. Oryx Door Systems is the sole distributor of Origin folding sliding doors and has now extended the product range to include high-performance windows, residential front doors, insect screens and switchable smart film.

Guy Dawson

MANAGING DIRECTOR

I’ve been very fortunate to have worked for some of the most innovative and successful companies in the world. They have reinforced the importance of the highest quality AND amazing customer service in differentiating Oryx as a company. Seeing a gap in the market for premium doors and windows, we opened the first overseas office for Origin UK, in Dubai, in 2011. Oryx then became its distributor in 2016, with a portfolio of custom-made products from around the world. We have experienced steady growth since then, and I remain confident that Oryx is a happy, healthy and rewarding place for all of us that are involved in its success. I love my work, and my expanding family, and try to squeeze in as much tennis, yoga and golf as I can.

Installation Team

Our Values

“Very happy with our recent installation. The team were fantastic, the installation was fast, efficient and done to an extremely high standard. The service provided from start to finish was second to none, I cannot recommend Oryx highly enough.”

Kevin Macdonald

“I have to say working with Oryx on my project was effortless. The sales team were on point with achieving my doors and window selection. They always maintained a good line of communication during the delivery process. Once the doors and windows were delivered to site the team had them installed in a matter of days. They always cleaned up after themselves and were always mindful of the villa.
Strongly recommended.”

Jason Christiansen

“Excellent Company, high quality products with exceptional people like Glarese that is handling the sales and Guy thats running the show.”

RBIC Home

“Everything is to our complete satisfaction. As ever, the Oryx experience was fantastic and each part of the process seamless. We can see out of the front of the house – no more bars! We can see out of our beautiful new upstairs window! We can finally open the windows in one of the spare rooms now they open outwards … Problems all solved. Call 0800 Get Me Oryx Windows.

Mathew Boice

“- Oryx originally installed 2 x 3m high bifold doors for us 18 months ago, and we loved them so much that we hired the team for another bi-fold in another part of the house, which was installed last month. The team are professional, solution-focused, polite and well prepared. From sales (with Steve) through to logistics (Ann) and the install team, everything was seamless and easy. Thanks Oryx!”
