Trading

“I joined METL in 2000 as a Port Operations Officer. I came to the job with minimal experience, but following induction training and on-going guidance from the trading department, I have been able to deepen my knowledge and develop my skills in ways that I never anticipated. It is extremely fulfilling to be part of one of the largest trading houses in Tanzania, which is manned by motivated and go-getting people who are all experts in different areas of international trade. As of 2004, I have been promoted to Port Operations In-Charge at METL. It feels great to see my accomplishments rewarded and makes me even more motivated to play my role in making the trading division at METL a formidable task-group, and one to be reckoned with”.

Manufacturing

“Having worked in Kenya for over 20 years as a miller, I was seeking change and a fresh working environment. My decision to join the METL Group in preference to my other offers was based on the organisation’s strong reputation in East Africa. It has been my pleasure to add value to METL’s business using my previous training and experience. I work with a fabulous team of colleagues, all professionals in their fields, and to know that you have the support and guidance of these people makes such a big difference. While I still have much to give and much to learn from METL, I am excited about what the future holds. At METL, you can aim as high as your talent takes you”.

Agriculture

“I joined METL in 1997, when the company diversified into agriculture. Having qualified with a Masters in Ecology from Aberdeen University, UK and with my experience and exposure in the field of ecology and agriculture, I was recruited as a Development Manager. I enjoy the people I work with and the open-minded and receptive approach of the management. This has given me the freedom and space to plan, design and implement my ideas and has contributed to the feeling that I have an impact on results. Whilst there is plenty of room for further diversification and commercialisation of agriculture on the METL farms, it is a pleasure to develop my career with this big and fast growing company – a vision of delight”.

Distribution

METL’s mission has always been to be a successful company dealing in quality products. But in its determination to be a profitable organisation, the company has not lost its focus on its duty for ethical and responsible business. People are the most valuable company asset and our customers are our most important focus; the delivery of products that are affordable and meet the needs of consumers has always been our motto. It is exciting to see the extent to which METL products reach out to so many people in Tanzania and this has been truly motivating for me. It makes me extremely proud when I think of the number of people I overhear talking about our products - zeven on a public bus!”

Corporate

“I have former qualifications in Engineering and Management and when I joined the METL Group I already had 25 years experience in industry. A good part of my experience was in start-up operations. In 1997, METL had just started venturing into industry and I was very excited about the prospect of being part of a growing and expanding organisation. Eight years down the line, I can proudly say that although I was already very experienced, I have learnt a great deal from working in this Group and my association with highly qualified teams in a competitive environment has been rewarding. I hope to be a part of METL until
I retire!”

Finance and Accounts

I came to my existing position fresh out of university and my experience was limited to short summer placements. Nevertheless, from the start I was trusted and given the feeling that I could make a difference in my own way. I have been at METL for a short time but my swift adjustment to the organisation, thanks to its remarkable working environment, makes me feel as though I have been here for years!”

Internal Audit

“I joined METL just before it began expanding its business activities. As with other departments in the company, the workload for the audit section also grew rapidly but with hindsight all the learning that went with this fast growth has been well worth it. I have expanded my horizons beyond my imagination and what’s more, there is still much to do! But the greatest enjoyment of my work is the fieldwork that goes with it – the travel to upcountry branches and industrial units for audit checks. From these visits, I have met so many new people and seen so many new places – the exposure has been incredibly exciting. I doubt that any other organisation could have offered me the same challenges, excitement and career aspirations as METL has”.

Liaison and Services

“I was employed in 1996 to manage METLowned properties and to advise on acquisitions for prospective properties. My job profile since then has diversified and now also includes the registration of new companies and trademarks. For me METL is an organisation that symbolises limitless opportunities; an organisation that flourishes in an environment marked by fairness and the belief that even the status quo can be improved upon. Indeed the competition is great and it is challenging to work in an atmosphere where everyone around you is driven to succeed. This has been my motivation; my expectation of performing with excellence on a continuous basis”.

Administration

“Joining METL – one of the largest business conglomerates in Tanzania – has been both everything I expected and completely unexpected! I have enhanced my ability to think outside the box and whilst there have been situations when the working curve has been challenging, it is never boring. My work has exposed me to different businesses, people, cultures and places and my involvement in a number of different functional areas has helped build my confidence and interpersonal communication skills. It has been fulfilling for me to be given the opportunity to work with some of the best professionals in an organisation that has an outstanding performance and genuinely believes in the key contribution of people’s development efforts. This makes life interesting”.

Human Resources

“While providing enormous job opportunities at all levels, another of METL’s greatest strengths lies in the diversity of the people that it employs. Employees emanate from three continents – Africa, Asia and Europe – and the organisation recruits for a very wide range of professions including, amongst others, engineers, accountants and agriculturalists. It is a privilege to be working in such a dynamic and multicultural environment, where differences are cherished and where the combined experiences of people from Tanzania and abroad make METL a really special place to be”.
