Testimonials

The key to a great company is its customers.

At Mangrove we aim to provide a feeling of family across all channels with customers large and small from all corners of the country.

Below we have a collection of some great testimonials from these members of Team Purple.

Edmund Weil

Owner of Nightjar, Oriole & Swift – London Prestige Cocktail Bars

“From the very beginning of our journey as bar owners a decade ago, Mangrove have consistently shown a huge amount of faith and interest in our projects. They’ve also represented a constant pipeline of interesting, unusual, products of consistently excellent quality that enrich any cocktail menu and drinks offering, which means they will always be at the top of our list of favourite partners.”

Alex Mills

General Manager of Lab22, Cardiff Prestige Cocktail Bar

“The team at Mangrove have always been a favourite with the Lab22 family. Their enthusiasm and benevolence to quality brands and their customers has always inspired the team. Our account manager is definitely one of the most attentive brand ambassadors, whether that’s taking extra time to ensure projects and activations are completed immaculately or visiting us on the other side of the bar to catch up over a fruity pink cocktail. Setting up a tasting or knowledge about brands is just a phone call away.”
