Oran shares secrets to success

KEEPING ABREAST of technology, an aggressive promotions campaign, putting people first and keeping the next generation involved are what have kept Oran Ltd going for the past 50 years, said chief executive officer Scott Oran.

The company celebrated its anniversary by giving Caribbean trips to a number of customers and during the event, Oran spoke on what kept the company going for so long.

“One of the most significant changes is technology, especially with the introduction of the internet. Technology has made a big difference and it continues to do so but the one thing that hasn’t changed is our relationship with people, which has been the most enjoyable part of the experience – being able to stay in touch and interact with people, the employees, customers and suppliers, and work as a team,” he said, adding any company which followed this model would reap success.

Oran said another aspect was the family side of the business, saying he inherited the company from his father and planned to pass it on to his son. He also spoke of the future, saying they Oran launched a new product line this year and would be implementing two new departments from February next year. (CA)
