Originally, Branson's core business was as an importer of textile raw materials into Sub-Saharan Africa, on an indent agency basis. However, due to demand from the market, we have evolved into a Import and Export business for raw materials. We either trade for our own account or act as an independent agent and/or distributor for our suppliers/principals.
We endeavour to ensure that our suppliers adhere to internationally accepted social compliance norms and we encourage the development of fair trade practices.
Should it be required, we can provide business, market, social and political overviews for countries falling within Sub-Saharan Africa. We also encourage and assist our suppliers and customers in maximising the opportunities presented by the various Regional Trade Agreements.
