Following five days of intense networking supported by a series of timely business seminars delivered by highly respected, private and public sector speakers, CaribDirect.com caught up with Courteville Business Solutions Plc's Group Managing Director Adebola Akindele who sponsored the event.
Courteville Business Solutions Plc is a Nigerian company that provides business solutions based on the opportunities that exist in the Nigerian motor vehicle administration, documentation and other government public service processes.
Mr Akindele, the proud Platinum and main sponsor of the African and Caribbean Business Experience' first Expo held August 4th to 9th 2012 was all in praise for the way the London based
AACBE Expo was conducted.
He said, 'my team and I are very pleased with the way everything was put together over the past week and we have made some very significant business links, particularly in the
Caribbean.'
Immaculately dressed in a spotless and fashionable white suit
Mr Akindele admitted
his company Courteville Business Solutions Plc which is listed on the Commercial Services Sector of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) had not previously sought to access the Caribbean market and
he was optimistic that this
AACBE Expo would have provided an excellent opportunity to do so.
When asked whether
his expectations were met
he said, 'My expectations have been somewhat surpassed as we have been in discussions with a UK based Caribbean focused company, Caribbean Enterprise Network UK (CENUK) with a view to taking our AutoReg product to the Caribbean starting with Jamaica.'
...
Mr Akindele made the point that if a product survives market testing in Nigeria
he's convinced it would survive anywhere in the world as Nigeria is a very tough market to penetrate.
...
Akindele further affirmed that at the Expo, the Company had made a lot of retail sales in different products on offer; signifying its efforts to be a world class Company.
He believes this experience will serve
Courteville well as they look to enter the Caribbean market.
He was very proud that the Nigeria Stock Exchange made a very impressive showing by bringing a number of listed companies to London.
He said, "I thank
AACBE, and our partners from the Caribbean and the Nigerian Stock Exchange, for a great exhibition."
