We reach the end of another year, one that has not been without its challenges, especially externally due to the Ukraine war and the subsequent negative economic consequences that have affected everyone, especially our markets. However, positively Covid has been contained with life returning to normal and in Kenya we held a peaceful election that has resulted in an energetic new President.
D&S Rwanda under GM James Ngugi have recently taken the initiative of expanding the country's branch network by opening a new outlet in Remera, the lively and upmarket district in Kigali, the capital city.
Digital innovation has been a key priority for the D&S Group with several platforms coming online in the last few years including apps D&S FLO, the Dayliff App and the Pool Tool as well as proprietary software programs iDayliff, Solarcalc and Pumpcalc.
Physical celebrations were held across the D&S Group for the first time since 2019. This year the Chairman and CEO messages and award winners were communicated via a prerecorded Special Christmas Message which was shared digitally.
