NEWSLETTER Chairman’s pen JANUARY 2017 Dear colleagues

The year 2016 is behind us. A brand new year lies ahead of us.

It will be filled with challenges, victories, happiness and joy. Unfortunately we can also expect disappointments, sadness, shocks and change. It is ebb and flow of life. Friends and family are important for support and sharing.

As humans, we have the tradition of starting each year fresh with what we call: new year’s resolutions. These are usually a combination of our hopes, dreams and expectations. Often these plans quietly evaporate. We regretfully shrug them off and say “next year”. My wish for you is that you will have the tenacity and persistence to see them through.

On the business front we can expect to see the finalisation of the Meat In-spection Scheme. We will also need your dedication and resilience to prove to our customers that we deserve to be their first choice for meat inspection and classification services.

May January 2017 be a Blessed month for you.
