CLOSE OF 2019

As 2019 draws to a close and I-CAT looks ahead to a new << I-CAT DIRECTORS
decade, it is important that we do some self-reflection on
the year that has passed.

The word for this year was truth. We had the intention of
instilling this word into our business and personal cultures
in order to guide us into achieving our overall goals, as
the saying goes, ”Business grows at the speed of Trust,”
and trust is earned through truth. Each one of us carry the
responsibility of being truthful towards ourselves and how
we conduct ourselves in our work environments. Throughout
the year, we have reiterated the notion that we have the
right people on the bus and continuously intend on getting
everyone in the right seats on the bus to get the bus going
in the right direction.

We faced many challenges as a country that ultimately
affected businesses in various industries and we should not
overlook the fact that we are blessed to have overcome
some of these challenges that we were faced with as a
business. It is inevitable that a business will face challenges
but these obstacles should be our driving force to work
harder and smarter, to not only achieve our goals but to
stay ahead of the competition for years to come – this is the
sustainability that I-CAT strives for.

Long term sustainability is part and parcel of the profitability
of this company, but the core of I-CAT’s success lies within
its people, and everyone of us has an important role to play
in ensuring that we build a business that will one day employ
our children. We welcomed new staff this year and had to
say our goodbyes to some good friends that have been
a part of the I-CAT family for a long time, but we a glad
that we have had the opportunity to implant some skills
and maybe build on their character so they can be part of
growing the larger economy of our beautiful country.

As we close the year, we congratulate those who have
been blessed with new additions to their families and share
our condolences with those who have lost loved ones, may
God bring you comfort and healing over time.

We would like to thank everyone for their hard work and
dedication towards I-CAT throughout the year and trust that
2020 will be a blessed one. We wish you all a happy festive
season, get some well deserved rest and come back ready
and recharged for 2020.
