“To add outstanding value to our clients and shareholders and have fun doing it.” That is one Kenyan multi-billion shilling company’s mission, to add value to clients. The firm has indeed done that and has the financial success to prove it.

Scangroup Limited recently announced its financial results for the year 2011 and its profit after tax is just shy off the billion-shilling mark, a 42% gain from the previous year’s results (read more on that here).

The company's CEO Mr. Bharat Thakar (also the founder and a director of all the company's subsidiaries) is active on social media and is a frequent Tweeter . He has led the company from a small ad agency to Africa's leading marketing services group. From the sidelines, it looks like this company is on the path to a billion in profits.
