Camellia : Nalua Tea Estate - My Journey to Management

'When I joined Duncan Brothers in 2009 my first training course was an 'Elementary guidelines on tea culture course' regarding operation and managerial skill development. This course combines 12 modules in total and prepares you for a career working with tea.'

Since completing the course in 2012, Mr. Hossain has continued his personal and professional development with a series of training workshops, resulting in the accumulation of International Certifications such as; Rain Forest Alliance (RA) certification training, and ISO-2005:2200 and HACCP certification training.

The long-term accomplishments obtained from enrolling in company training as a youth has been well merited.

'Training has given me a greater understanding of my responsibilities within the job role. It taught me to understand new concepts, become proficient in planning, and in turn build my confidence.'

Providing Mr. Iqbal with the knowledge and confidence required to excel in agriculture is just one facet of training programs provided by Duncan Brothers. Equally as important is the changing landscape of technology and how this drives the tea industry.

'Productivity is not only dependent on employees, but also on the technology we use. Training goes a long way in getting me as an employee up to date with new technology, use existing ones better, and then discard the outdated ones.'
