I have been a busy little bee these last few days

Sorry for being a bit absent the last two days but I have had so much work to do and we finished our mid-year stock take, month-end procedures and full reporting of the financial statements (which includes a detailed month pack with all the Financial statements, CEO report, Quarterly reports, detailed stock reports, marketing and margin reports, as well as HR and Logistics reports) in a record time of 3 days this year!!! You would think it is quite exceptional if you had a slight idea of what it all entailed. Luckily we have very good standard operating procedures in place, a system that really works well and everyone does their job to the best of their ability. We are like a well oiled machine nowadays. Sure, we have our little speed bumps and road blocks, but we did very well this month. Plus we are far under budget, and we made our target in terms of a 10 day stock level, which is very very good (and sometimes almost impossible because every ingredient that we use in the manufacturing of the product has to be delivered by Hired Transport from far far away and sometimes it also gets shipped and has to delivered from the harbour, so to only keep 10 days worth of stock in our factory takes a lot of very careful planning and organising).

And now I am exhausted. I still have to do our monthly VAT return and Journal reporting to head office as well as a detailed summary of all our Nedfleet expense allocations and follow up on our Internal Control Matrix, so I am going to be quite busy today as well.

I have been thinking of writing a post of my birth story, but it will have to wait a bit longer.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead. Love to you all!
