Winima Investment Limited expand business Prudent business management can lead to significant business growth in a short period of time. Winima Investment Limited (WIL), one of the three principal landowner companies of the Hidden Valley mine in the Bulolo District has shown that it can be done. On May 11, WIL commissioned a new truck to be used by the Hidden Valley mine through a lease arrangement. WIL came into operation in 2004 but from that year to 2008, it did not have any capital to venture into any business deals untill 2009 when it received a K100, 000 first dividend payment from its umbrella company NKW Limited. With that money, WIL leased first two vehicles to the mine and later a Moxie truck. The fruit of these investments resulted in the direct purchase of the Isuzu truck at a cost of K190, 000. With commitment to see the business grow, the four directors of the company, one of whom is Waba Yawing (Junior) worked tirelessly and at the end of 2009 brought the value of WIL to K131, 000. In 2010 WIL was valued at K160, 000 and last year it made a significant increase to K390, 000. Mr Yawing said this year; WIL is looking at expanding while running its affairs efficiently in terms of financial management and reporting to help grow the business further. He thanked HVJV, landowner association NAKUWI, NKW and the government for their support to get WIL to where it is now. “To achieve many more good things, we have to work together with HVJV, NAKUWI, NKW and the government,” he said. HVJV’s Community Affairs Manager, Stanley Komunt and Community Negotiation Manager, David Masani also stressed the importance of working in partnership.
