CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
From a very humble beginning in the eighties as a small
scale ball-point pen assembler in a living room, IPP has
grown into a major diversified company. Today, the group
comprises four core divisions;
- Media
- Beverages
- Household and Beauty care
- Minerals Prospecting and Mining
Our continued sense of well being centers around a common
proven business model across all of our divisions. The unprecedented growth has been made possible by a number
of things:
- Ability to spot and harness opportunities
- Employee satisfaction
- Competent leadership and management
- Business innovation and creativity
- Service excellence
Despite our size, IPP remains a highly entrepreneurial,
decentralized and incentive driven group with a culture
of transparency, accountability, integrity, excellence
and innovation.
We shall continue to use our resources and our diversity
to create value to drive local operations and aggressive
international expansion.
IPP is currently entering a most exciting period, and
to work alongside one of the most competent workforces
in our industry is indeed an honour.
Being a Proudly East African company which celebrated
its 20th anniversary in 2004, we are a deep-rooted product
of East Africa and the African continent as a whole.
Continued service excellence over two decades breeds a
winning culture and provides the confidence to achieve
even greater heights.
At IPP we do not wish to be complacent as we move forward,
and our unique and robust culture of entrepreneurial teamwork
and strategic focus will once again prove to be the key
to continued growth.
We are determined to build on what we have created. To
this end, we shall remain acquisitive and alert to all
potential opportunities, but target projects that will
not only extend and add value to our business, but also
offer an above average return for our stakeholders.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for the ongoing
commitment, dedication and goodwill of our employees countrywide.
Special thanks also go to our business partners, customers,
and other stakeholders.
