About Us
Our Journey of Growth and Impact
Our vision is to develop Essina into a multi-billion-pound investment company over the next 20 years, inspired by the principles of acquiring and holding businesses indefinitely to build long-term value. We aim to start or acquire brands in defragmented industries, creating a robust portfolio of cash-flowing businesses. Our growth will be funded through selective investment rounds and the cash flow generated from our existing ventures.
Our mission is rooted in the ancient African philosophy of Ubuntu, meaning "humanity towards others". This principle guides us to operate for the overall benefit of the communities we serve—our employees, customers, investors, and sellers. We are dedicated to creating and building businesses that enhance community welfare, promote health and nutrition, and uphold sustainable practices. We strive to leave the world better than we found it, ensuring our efforts lead to a positive impact on society and the environment.
Our Journey of Evolution
Just like the most successful companies, our journey has been one of continuous evolution and adaptation. Nokia began with paper, Wrigley's with soap and baking soda, and Berkshire Hathaway with textiles. Our journey, too, has taken us from our beginnings to exciting new ventures, with limitless potential. Inspired by giants likes BRK, we embrace the philosophy of endless possibilities and refuse to limit our dreams.
