Shyam joined the executive team in 2018 after studying and working in Singapore,” he said.

“The introducti­on of Shyam with his experience in Singapore has augured well with our goal to import quality foods and services from around the globe for our customers here.

“The family business has been a great experience with the company growing and getting involved in the expansion since we started diversifyi­ng.

“The family had been working together with shared responsibi­lities.
