Good afternoon sir.

We are the editorial team of press plc

for the visual 2025 magazine and we are

here to interview

on behalf of the magazine and also to

get some words of a good history or

maybe some good words about the vision

2025

and for this interview is divided into

four parts. We have part one which is

the vision 2025 success.

The second part

the staff and culture vision 2025. The

third part challenges and learning for

vision 2025. And the fourth part is

looking ahead beyond vision 2025.

>> Thank you very much editorial team.

You're welcome and looking forward to an

enriching conversation with you people

that we hope will boost your write up as

you capture everything we have done in

order to achieve our vision 2025.

>> Thank you sir. So we go the first

question is what was the main goal of

our company's vision 2025 and how

successful have we been in reaching it?

you know um when we took over this

company in 201

18 end of 2018

we took over from a great leader we took

over from a great visionary person

our then general manager Mr. WA and

taking over from a founding father like

that, it was very important that we

carry on with a massive legacy.

And so in 2019, we had to set targets

that we wanted to achieve in order to

move this company from good to great.

And so vision 2025 in a nutshell was

setting the goals that we wanted to

achieve, where we wanted the company to

be by 2025.

And in that way we took a holistic

approach looking at where we wanted to

improve,

where we wanted to increase our

capacities and many other aspects of

vision 2025. and we set targets and

every year we have been able to measure

how far we have come in in terms of

achieving these objectives. So in a

nutshell that is what vision 2025 is all

about. And in that year we our vision

was grounded being a church institution

on Hagai chapter 2:9 which says the

glory of the present house shall be

greater than the glory of the former

house and in that place there shall be

peace. And so we took that also like a

statement of growth to grow from where

we were to a greater thing. In a

nutshell that is our vision 2025.

>> Wow that is so beautiful.

So still in a question one but part B.

How has vision 2025 facilitated the core

vision of press plc as a company?

Press print PLC was created you know

with core vision to support the church

with printed literature

and printed u Christian literature in

order to facilitate its work and mission

to God and to humanity. Then press print

also has it mission you know to print

various materials various aspects of

printing are part of our vision and so

in the year that we set vision 2025

press print we were involved mostly in

offset printing and our whole idea was

that we should be able to diversify the

company to include other aspects of

printing so that we can better serve the

population and also serve our church

because the PCC does not only involve in

Christian literature. The PCC they have

departments that use t-shirts, other

forms of booklets, fabric and all the

like and so the public also likewise. So

we set that vision that we wanted to

make press print a one-stop shop and the

whole idea was that we could include

other printing services and so far we

were able within this years to add the

serraphic printing unit. We added the

fabric unit and also we have improved on

the PDL to be also a CAT printer because

we print do CAT printing for different

institutions like the PA where we print

the student ID cards. So that is where

we are for now.

>> Wow. Fantastic.

Can you share one or two big company

wins or achievements since the vision

2025 plan started that you are most

proud of?

>> I think one of our greatest things had

been to create more jobs. first of all

to maintain the jobs that we had and to

create more jobs and I think you would

bear with me that we have been able to

create opportunities for different

people to come to press print and show

their talent and help the company to

move on. And then another big win we

have had is that we were able to open

the cereaphic printing unit and most

importantly the fabric printing unit. We

opened the first digital fabric printing

unit in subsaran Africa and it is a unit

that still has to improve but I think

that it is quite a milestone that we

have achieved so far and then also

keeping the unity of the company the

culture and the values for for me and I

think for the management of press sprint

and the staff that also is a great

achievement for us.

Excellent.

That's really great achievement for our

company. And how has freshman plc made

our customers experience better over the

last few years?

>> For the customer, what we have done is

that first of all, we have improved on

the physical environment. You'll bear

with me that years back our reception

and our marketing services the physical

environment is not the same. We have

improved on that so that customers are

accommodated in a more conducive

environment. Then also we have improved

on the aspect of delivery doortodoor

delivery. press print. Over the years,

we have faced the challenge of prices

and we have also worked on that so that

we are more affordable to our clients

and then we have worked very hard to

improve on the quality of our products

and the diversity of our product. So in

this way this is how we have tried to

improve our services to customers. And

then we have also instituted customer

feedback in that's most recently where

we try to know from our customers what

they feel of our services and in that

way we can improve our offerings to

them.

>> That is amazing truly is a home for

everyone. What changes in our printing

services have helped us become stronger

than other companies?

Well, I think if you look at for example

the offset printing, we have made a

great effort to automate the offset

printing. We migrated from the custom

marary unit speed master to the bigger

speed master machines and then we have

we also added some other machines that

have facilitated work here. And then

again we'll talk of the the fabric unit

that we have talked about and then the

the serraphic unit. I think that those

are aspects that have helped us to to

improve very much within our system.

>> That's excellent. How has the vision

2025 plan made things better for the

staff and team members at pressing PLC?

First of all, vision 2025 is a

collective effort involving both staff

and management. It is not a one person's

thing. If anywhere in press print, even

beyond press talk of vision 2025, the

collective response is we are moving on

and everybody being part of that

movement. I believe that we have moved

on together and we are at the point of

rounding up this vision together. Not

that there has not been challenges but I

think that at in a nutshell we have

progressed as a family. We have gone

through difficult moments as a family

and also our wins have been together. So

it is a vision that has not left anybody

behind.

>> Family they say it's at pressing plc. In

your opinion, what makes the culture at

Press Print special and different from

other companies?

>> Press Print has a culture that is much

more of a family-like kind of

organization.

I believe in press print we are one

another's keeper.

I believe in press print there is

solidarity

and then there's a strong sense of

purpose, there's a strong sense of

vision and it is collective. It is not

in the hands of a few people. I believe

also that press print has inclusivity

which means that everybody in press

print has the opportunity to excel in

their own corner, do their job and find

fulfillment.

In that way,

people from different tribes, people

from different parts of the country and

beyond, we can find our place here to

excel and feel like we are at home and

feel like we are one. I think that that

is what sets us apart.

>> Oh, that's amazing.

They say in life,

every experience there's challenges and

there are things to learn from.

still in a vision 2025 purpose? What was

the most difficult challenge the company

faced? Why working towards a vision 2025

and how did our team overcome it?

>> Thank you very much. I think every

vision has challenges and every company

faces challenges and press is not

exceptional.

If I can reflect very well, our most

difficult time has been during the

period of co

When COVID set in, we were in this

company for about 4 months. Basically,

no customer knocked at our doors. We had

a company to run. We had staff to cater

for and many other operations that we

still had to lead. The COVID period

still remains a memorable time of

challenge to us as a family, to us as a

company. But I think that during that

period also it also strengthened us as a

team because it was around the COVID

period that we had the full conception

to diversify our activities

and that was when it later in 2020. CO

started early 2020 and the COVID

reawakened our need to diversify and by

October 2020 we created the the the

serraphic unit because we saw the need

that staying in one activity in times of

crisis could crumble the company and so

we diversified and the fabric the

cereographic unit came into being.

That's a powerful one there. If you

could give one piece of advice to a new

employee joining Person today, what

would it be?

When I had my first job,

one of my friends fathers gave me my own

first piece of advice which I will give.

I have given to so many young people and

I still continue to give. It is the

advice of respect.

and humility.

He told me to respect everybody on the

job. Find a reason to respect everybody

you meet at work. Respect them because

they were there before you even one day

before. Those who come after you.

Respect them because they have come

after you. Respect somebody because

though you are colleagues, it's

somebody's sister, somebody's brother,

somebody's mother, somebody's father.

Respect them for their age because they

can be older than you. Respect the

younger person who is daring also to

work and earn a living. Find a reason to

respect and stay humble. The higher you

go, the humbler you should become.

>> That's great for an African man right

there. Now that we are celebrating

division 2025,

what is the next big goal or project for

President PC in the future?

Oh,

the

today I was just writing about I was

just writing out some few lines

trying to inspire myself and one of the

lines I wrote for self is that to every

cross there is a crown

and to every crown another cross.

And so the human cycle is cross, crown,

cross, crown until we bow out and wear

the crown of glory.

So we have gone through the cross of

carrying the burden of vision 2025

and you people are here because it is a

time where we want to celebrate the

vision no matter the odds. We have gone

through it. The fact that we are alive

is already an achievement of itself in

vision 2025. Before you put in the

figures, whether we experience growth,

whether we improved, the fact that

people are alive now is an achievement.

So

with life there is hope, with life there

is a tomorrow. So we are looking forward

therefore to setting another pace for

vision 2030

where we are building a massive vision

that we want to grow this company even

two times what it is now where we want

to experience

a greater deal of what we had

experienced during the time of vision

2025.

So yes, beyond 2025,

we are setting another five-year project

and this also will have different

activities that we hope will stamp press

print as the leading printing house in

subsahara and Africa.

>> Wow.

What is your final message for all press

print staff and stakeholders as we

celebrate this important moment?

First of all, I want to thank the church

administration for trusting us with a

massive responsibility like this to lead

one of the PCC's biggest entrepreneurial

ventures.

Our greatest thanks to our board members

who have supported us in the decisions

they have made to guide management in

the day-to-day running of this company.

Then I give a big shout out to staff of

press print. Without them there is no

press print and I always say that to

management the staff are king and

queens.

So I want to thank them sincerely for

everything they have done for their

dedication.

Those who have worked long hours those

who have worked and has sweated to see

this company move. those who have

achieved the great things that this

company is known for. I want to say a

big thank you to them for all the

challenges we have endured together

because it has not been a perfect

journey. We have endured a lot together.

I want to say thank you to them and most

especially also it is an honor to have

the kind of customers that we have.

I want to give a big shout out to all

our customers, the mega companies that

are printing with us, to the individuals

who walk in and print with us and are

proud of our services.

We want to tell them a big thank you.

And to the community of Limbe that is

hosting press print, we want to thank

them for being our hosts, our first

security, our first customers. And we

know that our partnership will last as

long as this company is open. So we want

to thank all the stakeholders and wish

them well as they continue to partner

with us into vision 2030.

>> Thank you so much for having us here. We

have come to the end of this interview.

On behalf of the editorial team, we say

thank you and we wish you a very

beautiful day.

>> Thank you people very much. wish you a

happy 2025

and also God's blessings into 2026.

Thank you very much.
