The managing director of Namsov Fishing Enterprises, Jan Arnold, has decided to bring forward his retirement, the company announced yesterday. He started working for Namsov in May 1996 as a financial manager and became general manager of Namsov Group support services in 1997.
He was subsequently appointed as the managing director of Namsov Fishing in March 2001. “The skill and passion with which he steered our ship brought Namsov the success it enjoys today,” chairperson of Namsov Fishing Enterprises Sebulon Kankondi said in a statement yesterday.
“We can only express gratitude for his management of our organisation and these are qualities which are well imparted into the DNA of Namsov Fishing Enterprises.
“As a leader in not only the company, but also the fishing industry, he accomplished phenomenal growth and performance at all levels. For this, the shareholders, the board, management and staff applaud his sound expertise,” Kankondi added.
“In these times of ever-changing circumstances, we are also facing our greatest opportunities and new frontiers. What we have accomplished over the past decades is commendable and I know we have the energy to continue and build on what Jan and his team put in place. I’m excited about our people, I’m energised by our ability to change and grow and I look forward to the success which lies ahead.”
“As chairperson of Namsov Fishing Enterprises, I would like to thank Jan for chartering the spirit of Namibianisation in Namsov and for pioneering the sharing of commercial value with Namibian communities. We applaud his immense contribution to Namsov’s huge social investment footprint in Namibia,” he concluded.
