30 YEARS OF VITALITY
(My Appreciation Note)
21. JT HERNOX CUSTOMERS
From a young age, I’ve always carried a deep passion in my heart, a burning desire to become great, even if it meant starting small. I told myself, “Whatever I do, it must carry my name.” And so, I dreamed of owning a company. Even if it started with the smallest product, it had to bear my identity.
I originally planned to name it Jesutofunmi Multipurpose Enterprises and started saving for CAC (Corporate Affairs Commission) registration because in my heart, a registered company wasn’t optional, it was destiny.
I shared this dream with my brother, a like-minded visionary who saw the bigger picture, sometimes even more clearly than I did. He suggested we create something together, a joint venture that would meet international standards, with a name that was easy to pronounce globally, even by White folks. That’s how we arrived at JT Hernox Enterprises.
JT is the acronym for Jesutofunmi, and Hernox represents, in its own way, every good thing you can imagine in this world.
And so, on March 9, 2020, we took the bold step of officially registering our dream with CAC. We started with a few services, Shoemaking, Makeup & Special Effects (for drama/movie production), Graphic Design, Data Services, Card and Cable Subscription.
Over time, we expanded, restructured, and refined some arms phased out, new ones emerged. But one thing remained constant, every product has touched lives, within and beyond Nigeria.
To the glory of God, we have trained over 100 people, online and offline, locally and internationally.
On November 11, 2022, we gave birth to yet another branch, Cosmetic Production. And by God’s grace, we’re still growing. Along the line, we birth another branch of the company which is book publishing and not only me has been beneficial.
None of this would be meaningful without you, our cherished customers.
To all JT Hernox Customers, both home and abroad, this note is for you. For believing in us, for making us part of your world, and for supporting a dream that started with just a whisper in a little girl’s heart… Thank you.
We may not have achieved all our goals yet, but the ones we’ve reached were made possible through your patronage, referrals, and consistency.
From 2020 till now, some of you have remained with us from day one. Some joined along the way. And some are still about to come onboard. To each and every one of you, thank you.
You are the empire builders. You are the reason we keep growing. You are part of the story of the woman I’m becoming.
And your footprint makes the woman I'm becoming. Thank you.
To be continued...
