Shopping Day

On the 1st and second of October, Umtha opened its doors to the public. Umtha is a wholesale business, but once a year, friends and family are invited to view Umtha’s ethically produced, innovative ranges as well as meet our wonderful producers. Let us know if you’d like to be added to the mailing list for 2009.

Employee of the month

This month, the Umtha awards went to mother and son. Every month Umtha gives an ‘employee of the month’ award. This award is based on set criteria and is a challenge to earn. Luxolo Dubase oversees Umtha’s packaging and packing department. His mother Jostina, is Umtha’s longest standing employee and has recently been promoted to production supervisor. This middle management position provides Jostina with a great opportunity to hone and develop her skills. She was awarded Umtha’s ‘special award’ this month for showing great aptitude in her new position.

Umtha celebrates a successful 2008

Umtha employees enjoyed a lively staff lunch at the Waterfront’s Santa Ana Spur. It was a great opportunity to celebrate another successful year.
