The Board met in January of this year to restructure Crosby Abbott Ltd in the light of the UK economy and now we have completed it though it took us more than 3 months it was worth doing. We have added new services, acquired a new African subsidiary and we are on course to change our Internet Newspaper to suit demands and stay competitive.
In February we acquired Page Hearth Trading in Zimbabwe – a retail arm with two shops in Gweru and Triangle we deal with electrical items, mobiles phones computers and computer accessories we also offer a fully fledged business consultancy for individuals starting up a business in Zimbabwe . With the news that the Zimbabwean economy is on the up again we feel its the right time for individuals and business looking to invest to get a foot in before everything fully picks up of which the barriers to entry in any chosen field will have gone up. So we are now offering Company formations in Zimbabwe, including registration with ZIMRE (Zimbabwe Revenue Services) and Business Banking with Barclays Bank Zimbabwe Ltd.
Another diversification of our services is our opening of Crosby Abbott Tech our Internet Cafe’ in Northampton which offers Internet Access, Printing, Photocopying and Faxing Services, Mobile Phone Sales, Repairs and Unlocking and Computer and Laptop Repairs for both Hardware and Software issues. We also on course to open up a Crosby Abbott X Catalogue Furniture Sales, we are busy looking for suitable premises to be on target that it opens on the 1st June 2010.
Our other proposed services which we feel we will be able to launch this year includes Crosby Abbott Global Visas – a visa processing services fro people travelling to UK, USA and Canada from either Zimbabwe or South Africa initially with plans to expand the services to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. We will also be launching our food services before the end of the year.
Our Internet newspaper News of black Interests will finish its staff restructuring by the end of May this year, with reduced incomes from advertising it was important to revise our staff structure at the paper and also recruit a new marketing manager to spearhead the sales of advertising. We shall be closing our bureau offices in Africa, and remain with one Editor who will be responsible for the whole of the continent. Let me take this opportunity to thank the staff that is leaving us for the wonderful work they have done to start this project we wish them well in their future.
We are back and fully operational.
