It’s always surprising how quickly the new year sprints ahead after the Christmas break and already we are approaching Easter! As usual there has been plenty of activity at D&S as the focus turns to executing plans and already much has been achieved.
D&S successfully completed rigorous factory acceptance testing for a Dayliff pump control centre designed for a leading petroleum distributor.
A new and technically advanced Service Centre has opened on the site of a former warehouse at the D&S Group's main site on Dundori Road in Nairobi's Industrial Area.
Dayliff Swimming Pool and Water Treatment Chemicals have a longestablished reputation in the market for effectiveness, value and widespread availability through the D&S Group's regional branch network.
The D&S Group has recently opened new branches in Kenya and Uganda, with the total number of outlets now exceeding 100.
The Technical Division under Director Philip Holi has opened an impressive new chemical plant at Athi River, Machakos County.
Another year ends which has been challenging in many ways, especially as the region has faced various environmental headwinds including economic constraints, a drought and more recently heavy rains, all exacerbated by considerable world turbulence. The effect has been a subdued performance for D&S, though still some growth has been achieved, particularly in the various subsidiaries and I'm very grateful to all the teams that have worked so hard to achieve these results.
