products designed and manufactured
by IHS are there to either fill existing
voids or to complement existing
services. They are thoroughly tested
in real hotels and any issues are
ironed out before the final stage.
Aside from being produced by high
quality materials, every single item on
the company’s list serves a certain
function.
According to Nick, a modular
approach is best when it comes to this
industry. Trying to grow up too quick
and too fast inevitably leads to a lot
of problems. Alternatively, slow and
steady wins the race. This theme is not
simply reflected in the designing and
manufacturing process. It’s a theme
that lies at the company’s very core,
an ideal that has shaped its culture.
“I like to invest wisely in each area of
the business. Not necessarily just one
zone area, I prefer to do it gradually.
It’s a bit like sports, in the sense that
you don’t just focus on the front line,
you focus on the back and mid lines
too. It’s a balance that you should
invest in. It’s also an old farmer’s rule;
don’t make too much too quick and
make sure that you keep some money
for your reserve fund”, says Nick.
With that said, treading on safe
ground will not get you far, especially
not within the company itself.
