East African Gazette as usual visited their stall to double check the magic behind-the-scenes of their operations, at the stall many farmers were found embracing their products, really proving that they’re the best in the agricultural and industrial equipment.
Speaking to East African Gazette, Rogers Ainomucunguzi the company operations manager noted with pride that their victory was not a mere win for PES and its stakeholders but the entire sector of trade for East Africans who consume their products.
‘We were confident that we can win an award but not this one because the sector has big brand names whom we never ever thought of that we can soon risk professionally walking past them in terms of offering quality customer care services and exhibiting a high degree of professionalism, trust, determination and honesty , all combined could have triggered the judges to pick PES for victory but all this we praise the Almighty God the most merciful and provider of wisdom and knowledge’ noted Rodgers.

He pointed out that their long journey in business started way back in 2018 having studied and effectively embraced the government’s Vision 2040 Bible which inspired them to start doing the business of dealing in industrial equipment, spare parts, engineering goods and services slowly but steadily having owned a small shop.
‘We started in 2018 by supplying clients spare parts as young engineers and technicians who had worked in different fields of the profession as well having encountered many challenges including some customers disappearing with both the spare parts and money which led to loss of business at some point however we insisted and pushed on with our guiding principles being trust and confidence with our customers and doing the right work for them at all times without cheating which act steadily led to the building of confidence’ he explained.

Rodgers recalls how they started business with a startup capital of 1.5M of which they used to purchase spare parts as they made losses due to lack of documentation of their sales with relevant government bodies like URA, URSB and KCCA taxation protocols among others but however they slowly learnt the games and effectively mastered the rules of which have greatly helped them to excel.

How-to do-good Business
According Ainomucunguzi said for any company or individual attempting to undertake doing business, should first build strong business management systems which is the constitution of that business as it shall effectively guide any member of staff at any level of leadership or responsibility to move the business forward without any sabotage or setbacks as these rules shall check and stamp out any potential or possible loopholes.
He said they are currently operating from New Shauriako Plaza in downtown Kampala opposite the new taxi park, promising to continue offering high quality services to their customers at all times as well as recruiting and training more young professionals who would replace them when that time of exit approaches.
