The Top 40 under 40 is a showcase of local business talent under the age of 40 compiled by the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMBBC).
Warren Fry (36), the National Sales Manager for the Kempston Employment Solutions Group, believes in “… the upliftment, development and training of people.”
Fry is in the process of setting up a wellness programme to assist the group’s outsourced staff in occupational wellness and financial fitness – a first for staff working under the Basic Conditions of Employment Act. Motivated by recognition and the development of people, Fry’s colleagues have acknowledged and applauded his efforts and involvement in community projects, including Aids awareness during his tenure as the Director of an HIV/Aids NGO, literacy drives and drought relief.
Fry’s business interests include a pony and horse stud farm that currently exports horses into Africa, and he is looking to revive an agricultural show in Port Elizabeth by 2013, integrating business, agriculture, sports and culture. “In a close knit business community like Port Elizabeth, you need to network, cross-sell and support fellow local businesses,” he says. “I believe in thinking globally, but acting locally, and ensuring sustainability.”
