A Tongan architectural, engineering and consulting firm has set its sights to open a branch here after receiving positive local feedback from the 2014 Trade Pasifika Show.
ITS Pacific Ltd Engineering & Architectural Consultants chief executive, Malakai Vakasiuola said he had always wanted to open a branch here but the opportunity had not yet arisen until now.
“I wanted to come and taste the market here and then since the start of the trade show, I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback,” Mr Vakasiuola said.
“A lot of people are now interested in our product and our service and they like the quality of our work.
“People have approached me already to look at their properties and a potential work with them.”
Market access
By having a local office here and other nations, it will be in a strong position to access and compete for better business opportunities.
He said the show had added value to his services in that all stakeholders were housed just under one roof.
“It has made it easier to get a feedback and I’m more confident now to be able to branch out and set up here in Suva.”
When asked when he plans to set up office, he said in the not-too-distant-future.
“Within the next two months. I also need to talk my insurance to extend my PI and public liability insurance from Tonga to cover Fiji as well.”
Right now, he’s got with him the relevant details and will be assessing them once he returns home.
