Dale Goosen and Denis Kennedy are the sole Members of Dalden.
Dale is a micro-biologist by
training and handles marketing and selling, having been in the
pharmaceutical industry his entire working career. This experience includes
working for several multi-nationals as well as the largest pharmaceutical
company in Africa.
Denis is a Chartered
Accountant by profession, a former partner of Price Waterhouse and with vast
experience in Commerce and Industry, including heading up a Stock Exchange
listed company and having specialised in the interface between African business
and Corporate Europe/America.
Dale and Denis owned and
managed a successful pharmaceutical company, primarily representing Euro-Med
Laboratories Philippines Inc in Southern Africa.
Our company was fully registered with the Medicines Control Council and the
Pharmaceutical Society. We held large State Tenders (about 20% of the market)
for the county-wide supply of large volume Parentarals (IV drips) as well as
some agencies in the infection control business. The entire operation was sold
to a Multi-National Pharmaceutical company in June 2006 for cash.
During the history of this
company we had no supply or quality problems with any products
imported from the East as we had in place additional quality assurance and
quality control procedures in the East as well as in South Africa.
This business enabled Dale
and Denis to establish excellent long term relationships with major suppliers
of pharmaceutical and related products in the Philippines,
China and Singapore,
which we have maintained on an ongoing basis.
Subsequent to this
transaction, Dale and Denis formed Dalden
Trading in July 2006 in order to re-build a business based mainly on agencies
for Southern Africa.(We are restrained from trading in the specific products
which were sold and we will honour this restraint). Dalden is in its infancy but we have already concluded some
significant deals with large pharmaceutical companies in South Africa
and have continued with our Chinese and Philippino suppliers, including the on
going interposition of quality assurance and quality control for all imported
products
Dalden continues to have
excellent relationships with the entire Pharmaceutical and Healthcare
industries in South Africa,
including the manufacturers.
