AFRICA outlook
It’s that time of year again where we prepare for the visit of the man in the red suit, power shortages (if you’re in South Africa and have to rely on Eskom), the peak of summer, and of course the annual shutdowns. It’s also that time where you refl ect on the past year, 12 months in which a meteor exploded over Russia, a new Pope was appointed and of course Edward Snowden blew the lid on a mass U.S. surveillance operation, a story that continues to run.

Unilever Food Solutions<br />
The food<br />
service market<br />
is very promising<br />
in this part of the<br />
world and we plan<br />
to outpace market<br />
growth at least at<br />
double rate”<br />
“The future is there for us to make the<br />
most of it,” Mellis says. “Specifically<br />
for Unilever Food Solution in Africa,<br />
we will keep developing our South<br />
Africa power house, and make a more<br />
structured move into Sub-Saharan<br />
African markets.”<br />
As the company builds on its growth<br />
in existing markets, and approaches<br />
new ones, he is confident in Unilever’s<br />
unique value proposition. “We have<br />
such well known and loved brands,<br />
that in combination to our unique<br />
market approach, we must leverage<br />
into new markets like Angola, Nigeria<br />
and Ethiopia, just to name a few. The<br />
food service market is very promising<br />
in this part of the world and we plan<br />
to outpace market growth at least at<br />
double rate.”<br />
There are clearly exciting prospects<br />
ahead for Unilever Food Services,<br />
but more than the wide recognition<br />
of their brands, the quality of their<br />
products and service, or even the<br />
talents of their people, there is one<br />
thing that Mellis believes the company<br />
keeps in mind above all else.<br />
