It’s not the technol- ogy, it’s not the equipment - we have to have the right people and so we invest in developing our people. We’re continually assessing performance and putting in programs to improve their skills to make sure they can deliver on our objectives. And as we continue to grow, we have to make sure that we have the right people with the right skill sets to take the business where we want it to go. So, we continue to train and we continue to recruit people to meet the growing needs.” Finally, Graham talks about the company’s succession plans: “We know that, at some point in time, we will have to move on, so we try and make sure that we identify succes- sors, particularly for key po- sitions.We work with those successors so, when the time comes, they can step into those positions and take over so that the business can continue to grow. This is our 35th anniver- sary and we plan to be around for another 35 years and more.” GRACEKENNEDY BELIZE LIMITED
