This past December, FosRich offered 20 percent of its shares on Jamaica’s junior stock exchange, making it a publicly-traded company. “The offer was taken up within one minute,” Foster states, “so the IPO was very successful. We now have a strong board and governance policy that is making us a world-class operating company.” Going forward, Foster says that his objective for FosRich is to be “first in class and best in class. And we’re going to achieve that through being empathetic,” he declares. “We’re going to understand our internal customers, our external customers, and we are going to listen to them and drive the business through the brand’s offerings: decorative lighting; energy, including solar and LEDs; electrical distribution; and in- dustrial electrical. We are looking for the busi- ness to double its capacity and sales numbers in the next three years, and, in doing so, bring great value to our shareholders, our customers, and our staff.” FOSRICH COMPANY LTD.
