Origins & History:Kishinchand Chellaram (hence the KC initials in our company logo), the late Founder, started his business from a textile shop in Chennai (Madras) in 1916. With an expansion plan in place and the first overseas office set up in Yokohama in 1918, the next decade saw the Kishinchand Chellaram Group become one of the leading trading companies in West Africa with branches across four continents. In 1923 a Management team appointed by Shri Kishinchand Chellaram arrive and set up the group's first branch in Nigeria, West Africa, commencing with wholesale operations in textiles. Over time, the company moved from retailing into wholesaling and manufacturing. The opening of Chellarams in The Gambia in 1958 was an important part of the Group's international expansion. It adopted the 3 umbrellas because in Africa chiefs often walked round with an umbrella.Mr. Ram T. Chellaram, grandson of Kishinchand Chellaram who entered the business in 1960, was the flag-bearer of the company's legacy in The Gambia. It is now under the leadership of Mr. Nitin, Managing Director.

HassConsult Limited was formed in 1993 by Mohamed and Hamida Hassanali with a vision to establish a comprehensive Real Estate firm. The quest for HassConsult's excellence in customer service began as a result of Mohamed Hassanali's desire to radically change the way real estate agents conducted their business in Nairobi. In the past, clients interested in real estate often received inefficient and unreliable services; rarely did they receive published brochures or advertisements with detailed descriptions, and the prices of real estate properties were never listed for customers to review. Today, we are proud to announce a variety of services ranging from new property development and consultancy to letting, selling, and managing residential and commercial properties, and more recently, commercial and residential valuations. HassConsult's dedication to offer honest and knowledgeable service in the real estate business is guided by the philosophy that the client's best interest is the principal force behind HassConsult's services. For example, each week HassConsult provides comprehensive brochures with detailed descriptions and prices for both residential and commercial properties. In addition, clients can readily review a wide range of HassConsult's properties with sharp photographs and maps. These services are reviewed by clients all over the world, and daily HassConsult receives e-mail messages praising the quality of our advertisements. Hence, the reputation and integrity of HassConsult continues to attract clients who are serious and ready to conduct business with a dynamic and assertive real estate firm. At the forefront of HassConsult's success is a team of professionals, who understand the importance of prompt and efficient service. The client portfolio of HassConsult includes professional and international firms, foreign embassies, non-governmental and non-profit organizations, small business owners, real estate investors, and first time home-buyers. As a company committed to progressive management approaches, HassConsult is interested in a broad range of business opportunities, and believes there is still a lot of untapped potential in developing the real estate market in East Africa. Without a doubt, HassConsult is confident that considerable growth will continue in the foreseeable future with regards to real estate development as property still remains the best medium to long-term investment in this part of the world. Recently extending the range of services that HassConsult provides, HassConsult has appointed C. P. Robertson Dunn to join its board of Directors and to establish a valuations department. HassConsult now undertake valuations of commercial and residential properties, as well as businesses. Although HassConsult is based in Nairobi, its presence extends to the Kenyan Coastline to include properties in Mombasa, Malindi and Lamu.
Coffee was first introduced to Kenya in 1893. With time, coffee farmers, especially white settlers saw the need to set up umbrella institutions that would offer core and essential services found to be critical in sustaining coffee production.In order to share coffee production overheads and benefit from economies of scale, the smallholder Africa Coffee Farmers formed Coffee Growers Co-operative societies, which later led to the formation of Kenya Planters' Co-operative Union (KPCU) Ltd in 1937 at Ruiru, Kenya. The KPCU was therefore formed as a stockist company to cheaply undertake bulk purchasing and stocking of essential agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, chemicals, tools and machinery, and then resell the same to the farmers on credit basis and at affordable terms.And to accommodate tha changing needs of the farmers, the KPCU gradually diversified its objectives, roles and functions to enable farmers improve the yields, quality and return on their coffee. This saw the company establish services such as coffee milling, extension services on coffee husbandry and provision of Short Term Credit to finance coffee production among others.Other coffee bodies formed within the same time include the Coffee Board of Kenya to offer licensing and regulatory services and the Coffee Research Foundation to carry out research activities.Ownership of KPCUThe KPCU is a farmers wholly owned institution, whose membership comprises of over 700,000 small scale farmers represented by over 300 Co-operatives and about 2,000 Estate farmers owning small, medium and large-scale farms. Farmers' representatives drawn from both the Coffee Co-operative Societies and Plantations therefore constitute the KPCU Board.Out of the 15 members of the KPCU Board, 9 represent the Co-operatives while 6 represent Estate farmers. They are nominated at grass-root level and are responsible for the affairs of the organisation through resolution passed by the shareholders at the Annual General Meetings, and in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association.Dual RegistrationAs Earlier indicated the farmers formed the main umbrella bodies to cater for the emerging needs that were considered vital for the growth of coffee industry. They then requested the Government to provide a legal framework under which the institution would operate. This led to the formulation of the Coffee Act, Cap 333 under which Coffee Board of Kenya has over the years operated.However, due to its expanded role, the KPCU could not operate solely as a co-operative and in 1945, KPCU was therefore incorporated under the Companies Ordinance of 1933 as a Limited Liability Company and in the same year, registered under the Co-operative Societies Ordinance of 1933. This enabled the company to effectively offer the diversified services to its members who comprise of small-holder coffee growers, Co-operative Societies and large estate/plantation farmers.The issue of dual registration was addressed by the Government in 1991 when a probe was instituted to scrutinize the KPCU's operations and come up with the restructuring recommendations. No conclusive decision was made regarding the dual registration.
