In 2007, during a period of significant dynamics and the global economic crisis, Philip navigated the shifting landscape of the floriculture business in Kenya.

Moreover, Philip recognized the critical role of logistics in the industry, emphasizing the importance of coordination in planning, booking airline capacities, and facilitating efficient shipment processes.
In 2016, after a brief return to farm operations, Philip seamlessly transitioned back to the buyer’s role, leveraging his comprehensive experience to establish a new venture in Kenya. This endeavor witnessed substantial growth, with Philip actively addressing challenges faced by customers dealing with Kenyan flower farms. It was from this wealth of experience that FATAKI PACKING (K) LTD emerged.
