D&S chair wins top Business Worldwide Magazine Award
The Business Worldwide Magazine has awarded Davis & Shirtliff Executive chair Alec Davis for his role building a transformative business in Africa.
During it’s 2020 Business Worldwide CEO awards ceremony, Davis was feted for outstanding leadership that has seen the family-owned company revolutionise water supply in Kenya and other nations in Africa over the last seven decades.
“It’s easy to assume that large corporations that have gained reputations as leaders in their field are in danger of becoming money making machines.
But family company Davis & Shirtliff still holds true to the values it was built on more than 70 years ago, and is still going from strength to strength,” said the Magazine on its website.
The awards seeks to identify and honor the most respected C-level executives across the globe from a variety of different sectors.
“There is no question that Davis & Shirtliff today is a successful organisation in spite of operating in what generally are considered to be competitive product segments and is overwhelmingly the leader in many of its markets.
The driving philosophy has been teamwork, and the group has a strong culture of commitment that has been fostered through a management style of consensus, fairness and delegation,” said Davis.
