Thursday Life (TL): How did you land this job?

Simone Abrego (SA): In July 2006, I heard of the vacant position of a merchandising supervisor at Frozen Delights Distributors Ltd. My objective was to seek employment in an organisation where my skills and participation would contribute to the growth and development of said organisation thus facilitating professional growth. Upon conducting my research on the company I recognised that it was compatible with the attributes I was seeking – and here I am.

TL: How long have you been in this job?

SA: I have been employed at Frozen Delights Distributors Limited for nine rewarding and enjoyable years. I started out as the merchandising supervisor and within six months I was promoted to sales development officer, and soon after, to my current position as sales and merchandising manager.

TL: What’s great about your job?

SA: First, customers’ total satisfaction! At Frozen Delights we go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our customers are pleased. It’s rewarding when customers repeat purchases due to the quality of service and products that they receive from us. Second, it is also gratifying when I am able to contribute to my company’s success and by extension assist each employee under my leadership to achieve their personal goals.

TL: What attracts consumers to your brands?

SA: The brands we distribute are well-recognised worldwide and this speaks to the quality and demand of the products. We are diversified in our selection of brands as we understand the importance of market trends, and our objective is to keep abreast of those trends by providing healthy, delectable, nutritious products, thus satisfying the needs of our customers.

This objective guides us in selecting brands like Emborg. Emborg takes real pride in quality…a delicious meal starts with natural ingredients.

Emborg selects their ingredients based on where they have the best weather conditions. With expertise and passion, they make sure that their quality meets the consumers’ requirements for real taste.

Emborg plays an important role in the lives of families all over the world. They are present at the table at one of the most treasured moments of everyday life: dinnertime. This is a responsibility that both Emborg and Frozen Delights recognise and value, and we take the job of ensuring an enjoyable and tasty dinnertime experience for everyone in the family seriously. We do it without compromising on any parameter, in order to meet the high expectations of discerning consumers – both children and parents. Providing wholesome products is at the centre of the core values of the Frozen Delights and Emborg relationship.
