There have been several important miles tones and developments recently celebrated at D&S, particularly our 80th anniversary, an achievement by any standards. On a personal note I now mention another this month my 50th anniversary of joining the company after I arrived back in Kenya having completed my university education. In the time there has been extraordinary change everywhere in the world, in Kenya and of course at D&S. Then Kenya's population was about 13 million and the exchange rate was about KES8 to the USD. Today we are about 55 million and a thriving society with an infrastructure that could not have been imagined then. Certainly Kenya has hugely progressed both socially and economically and it is great to see Kenyans now truly in charge of their destiny.

We have had quite a difficult environment here for several reasons,” Davis says. “In Kenya, the big challenge we have is that the Kenyan Shilling has appreciated. It was actually the strongest currency in the world last year, rising 20% against the US dollar.
”This situation came with some advantages, such as cheaper stock and reduced inflation. However, it also introduced challenges. Keeping prices competitive on an international level became more difficult. Another side effect was that when currency is appreciating customers are less likely to prioritise purchasing. This situation was exacerbated by reduced market liquidity due to lower levels of government spending.
