Guiding Principles

The Anthology philosophy is underpinned by several guiding principles, which include the following;
 

·         Owner operated, or at least, include direct owner involvement at all levels of the operation and in accordance with operating standards as determined by An African Anthology.

·         Enjoy differential advantages in their respective market segments

·         Provide measurable value. 

To this end Anthology has attracted individual products which are owned by likeminded individuals and are aligned with the vision of Anthology. Embodied in the vision is task of establishing strong independent brands rather than attracting value to the collection.
