chairman’s introduction
Fifty years ago, my father, Raymond Ackerman bought three small stores in Cape Town. He had a dream of building a new kind of retail business, one that placed the customer at the heart of the business relationship. His passion led to partnerships with South African customers and society in pursuit of a retail business that responded uncompromisingly to peoples’ needs. But his vision was more than this. It encompassed, at it’s heart, an enduring commitment to doing good. This remains a core philosophy of the company.
