Opening doors to possibilit­ies

- By ZIFIRAH VUNILEBA

OVER the years Vision Investment­s Ltd has evolved in manufactur­ing, finance, automotive, industrial, retail, renewables and more.

This was recently reflected in the opening of their Vision Commercial Showroom outlet in Namaka, Nadi.

Vision Investment­s chief executive officer Sanjesh Prasad said Vision Commercial Division was set up to provide personalis­ed services to the hospitalit­y sector, commercial businesses, government institutes and other industries.

Vision Investment­s Ltd is a diversifie­d and progressiv­e public company listed on the South Pacific Stock Exchange.

It is one of the largest companies on the stock exchange and has a proven track record of exceptiona­l performanc­e and sustainabl­e growth with a long history of trading in Fiji.

This month marks the celebratio­n of Vision Investment's 8th anniversar­y.

"Actually, it's our second anniversar­y in 8 years. We have quadrennia­l instead of annual celebratio­ns since the company was listed on SPX on February 29, 2016. "In 2006, the Company was acquired by the Vision Group comprising of four founder shareholde­rs namely, Jacks of Fiji, RC Manubhai, Challenge Engineerin­g and Candle Investment­s.

"In addition to the four founder shareholde­rs, the key institutio­nal shareholde­rs in the Company include the Fiji National Provident Fund, Internatio­nal Finance Corporatio­n, BSP Life, Fijian Holdings Unit Trust, Unit Trust of Fiji and Na Hina Ltd.," Mr Prasad said in his opening speech of the showroom in Nadi.

Vision's trading journey began in 1920 with the incorporat­ion of Burns Philip in Fiji, a large conglomera­te at the time.

He said in 2004 Burns Philip was acquired by Courts PLC. In 2020, the Company celebrated its 100th year anniversar­y of trading in Fiji and the Pacific.

This year, the Company will mark its proud heritage of 104 years of operations.

Vision Investment­s Ltd has diversifie­d business operations including Retail, Automotive, Industrial, Renewables, Manufactur­ing and Finance.

The Group consists of Courts,

Sportsworl­d, Cyber City, Carpets Internatio­nal, Vision Commercial Division, Vision Motors, Vision Energy Solutions, Mahogany Industries (Fiji) and Vision Finance.

The Company has also incorporat­ed a fully owned subsidiary Vision FinTech Services Pte Ltd in 2021 which provides MoneyGram money transfer, foreign currency exchange and bill pay services to the public.

"Vision Commercial Division offers a unique propositio­n to customers. Service delivery, pricing and trading terms are tailor-made to suit customer requiremen­ts," he said.

"Through these initiative­s we are opening doors to possibilit­ies, opportunit­ies and a world of innovative solutions tailored to serve the vibrant hospitalit­y industry and other commercial businesses. Our commitment here is twofold: to provide unparallel­ed products and services and to foster relationsh­ips built on trust, reliabilit­y, and excellence."

This showroom stands not just as a physical structure but as a testament to our dedication to meeting and exceeding the needs of our valued customers

"Within these walls, you'll find more than just an array of products; you'll discover a team dedicated to understand­ing your unique requiremen­ts, passionate about delivering solutions that elevate your business to new heights."

Mr Sanjesh highlighte­d how this showed an unwavering commitment in ensuring their customers were provided with unique services and goods while being able to create and maintain a partnershi­p built on trust, reliabilit­y, and excellence.

"We're not just here to sell; we're here to partner with you on your journey to success. As we embark on this new chapter, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this incredible journey. We extend our sincerest gratitude to our valued customers and clients for their trust and loyalty."

Mr Prasad said that their three commercial showrooms are now located in Nadi, Suva and Savusavu.

He thanked related business associates, clients and customers for their unwavering contributi­on and support.

"I invite you all to explore, engage and envision the possibilit­ies that this showroom brings forth."
