ANTHONY SCLANDERS - Group Financial Director
With 24 locations under the Tashas Group, we run a tight ship as an organisation. Anthony is very much involved in the day-to-day running of that ship financially, both in South Africa and in Dubai. His role extends further into the legal, HR, tax, operations and management realm.
With more than a decade in the seat as a Chartered Accountant, Anthony’s focus is on consistently improving our effectiveness as a growing brand. That means ensuring the business is systemized and measured, that our exceptionally high brand standards are met and maintained and overseeing the sale of franchisee stores as and when necessary.
Anthony comes to us with an impressive track record in the industry, having worked with Deloitte, Toyota and Multichoice DSTV, locally and internationally.
He was a key player in the early stages of the Famous Brands buyout – a key moment in our story. His involvement meant that this transition as well as further business transitions have been streamlined and efficient.
When the group faced hard times during the Covid-19 pandemic, Anthony conceived of an intricate plan to keep our franchises running by reducing costs and implementing saving methods. This has meant that the group has remained buoyant in the face of hardship.
His personal loves - food, beautiful spaces and travel - are very much in sync with our brand.
