◆ beginning of the year we were not able to provide adequate protective clothing for our employees, even though it is a requirement by law!

5. Finance and Marketing: a.

We are working with a relentless commitment to show who we are through what we are capable of doing on the market. A re-branding process is slowly but surely securing this. So far, we have managed to align our management of financial resource so as to answer operational demands for deliverable customer value.

We continue nurse hot irons in the export market in support of the Transitional Stabilisation Programme. You will remember that we are the 2018 winners of the ZNCC most resilient exporter; we have carried on from that focus!

c. 6. Information and Communication Technology (ICT):

We are networking our spatially dispersed operations and diverse processes in order to buttress real-time control of business transactions. This effort will increase the efficiency of Allied Timbers Zimbabwe.

Honourable Minister, I will continue to inform you and request you to tour our operations, not just for celebration but also where your counsel is needed.

You have seen already how vulnerable our operations are vulnerable to forest fires. A key aggravation to this, particularly in Chimanimani, is the loss of control that we have on more than 13 000 hectares where we have illegal settlers. While I am aware of the processes which you are assisting with, I take this opportunity to make the highlight.

Allow me to take this opportunity to thank the Acting CEO, his staff and workers on the development of a results-oriented culture that is fast developing in Allied Timbers under my eagle eye.

I thank you!
