fifteen staff who are mainly involved in procuring and locating the various
raw materials and commodities used in our customers Nigerian and Syrian
textile mills. The company started its operation from a small office in
Manchester and has moved to larger premises. We now own 13,000 square
feet bonded warehouse close to the Motorway system near Manchester International
Airport. Over the past few years, our efficient procurement program meant that our prices were also very competitive in the UK. The opportunity arose to market in the UK and we decided to diversify from our present customer base. We started in a marketing program that has now put our name at a good level with regards to the UK's main textile raw material merchants/agents. This was also a positive step for our company since it lowered our risk as far as dealing and relying on Nigeria and Syria. Nigeria now accounts for only 50% of our income and the other 50% is broken down into countries such as Syria, Greece, Italy, Ghana, USA, UK and some smaller areas in the Arabia Gulf.
The firm was set up by Mr F.M.Haffar who is the CEO and Mrs O.Haffar who is a non-executive director and secretary of the company. Mr F.M.Haffar holds his Chartered Textile Technology certificate from the Bolton Institute of Technology. His experience over the past 15 years has led to the company prosperity. Mr F.M.Haffar is also a director and chairman of other companies based in the UK, of which some specialize in other fields such as manufacturing, and communications.
Mr Haffar leads an effective experienced team of personnel at the company. Mr Haffar is the major buyer for all our textile concerns worldwide and is out of the UK on regular basis.
The firm deals in all aspects of raw materials for textile manufacturing and processing. We buy a substantial amount of raw materials for several textile firms in Nigeria, Syria, Ghana, Tunisia and other developing countries. We also deal with miscellaneous items as discussed above. Our countries of supply range from Mexico to Madagascar and from the USA to UAE. We also deal with China, Brazil, India and others.
