Husband and wife team, Olusegun and Oyetola Akande, are the owners of Sami’s Online African Foods, a one-stop Afro-Caribbean eCommerce superstore that brings the rich flavours of Nigeria to the global stage.
After noticing a lack of original African-Caribbean ingredients available for purchase in the UK, the couple had co-founded the business in 2009, with a clear vision to provide authentic foods sourced from Africa.
The Akandes are breaking new grounds again, this time announcing the launch of yet another business – the Pride of Africa Trade Cash and Carry, located in Birmingham.
The new business, which will be the first one-stop African trade cash-and- carry in the UK that is exclusively black-owned, is calling on registered food businesses to sign up on Pride of Africa Trade, using the Trade Account Registration Form.
Both chemical engineers with a passion for the food industry, Olusegun and Oyetola are determined to make a positive mark in Birmingham by exporting excellence out of Africa.
