For new parents-to-be in Nigeria, planning for the new arrival can be a little daunting, particularly if it is a first baby. So, entrepreneur Rainat Komolafe has created a startup business, Babies Essence, taking all the guess work and effort out of the process, providing a genuinely one-stop shop for everything needed to welcome the new member of the family into the world. BabiesEssence offers a range of specialist baby-planning services such as personal shopping, baby registry, baby shower planning, and consulting services. Rainat has recognised that most parents are working full-time and don’t have much time to shop, however there are so many new services and products being introduced into the world of pregnancy and parent’s to be. At BabiesEssence, she is making shopping easy for new parents, empowering them to make the best decisions in preparation for their precious new arrivals. 1 Like

hilroy:I agree. I initially profiled a few upon the request of one or two people, but then I stopped because I realised their businesses were either no longer in existence, or their profile did not fit into the picture of contemporary business/organisational & industrial sectors, that we were trying to highlight. cc: Kn23h, what do you think? I would appreciate your thoughts on this. 1 Like |

Oxtonguy:Wow!! I have gone past this edifice on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue in Victoria Island, several times. I am always amazed by the painstaking attention to details, that was incorporated into the design of the building. It is going to be a show stopper by the time it is finally finished. 4 Likes

Fut Conceptus Manufacturing Limited, the shoe and leather products manufacturing company which is reputed to be the biggest in whole of Africa, is owned by Olumide Wole-Madariola, who is the Chief Executive Officer. Wole-Madariola is an industrialist and entrepreneur. He is also a security consultant and Chairman, Lagos State Police Stakeholders Forum, which serves as one of the consultants to the Nigeria Police. As a young man, he had the opportunity of selling shoes for his grand father who was one of the first set of distributors to Lennard, in those days. As he grew older up, he dreamt of opening shops and selling shoes, but never thought of setting up a leather footwear factory. His shoes which are branded as FutWear are made in African, Spanish and Italian styles. They meet international standards and are exported around Africa. It has also established operations in Spain and the United Kingdom. Started in 2008, the company got off to a good start by seeking out the best expertise to train its staff. Shoe-making experts from Spain were brought in to do the training. The company also imported top-quality machinery from Italy and Spain to make sure its operations were modern and efficient.These first, smart moves have meant the company is able to run an efficient and high-skilled operation in Nigeria, while also making its products to international standards. What is known as Fut Wear today was a product of my six years of research in Spain. We commenced training operation for local staff in year 2008 and employed highly experienced Spanish hands operating extensively in the leather industry. Their range of products covers anything that has to do with leather, from Men's Shoes, to Women Shoes, Kiddies Shoes, Belts, Bags, Gift Items etc. Fut-Conceptus early this year was said to have bought over Nuneco, a leading footwear company from Spain in a deal that was said to be worth several millions of dollars. https://www.nollywoodgists.com/news/3094/bukky-wright-emerges-face-of-fut-conceptus.html 6 Likes 1 Share |
