Margaret Stoop is the owner and Director of Chisa Faya Trading. Margaret has 9 years experience in the retail FMCG market, the last three of which were spent working for Freddy Hirsch. She felt that she reached a “glass ceiling” within the company and decided to buy out the Chisa Faya spice line from Freddy Hirsch. They went their separate ways on good terms and Freddy Hirsch still manufactures all of our spices within our packaging today. Once the Business was started, naturally the setting up of packaging, manufacturing, packing and distribution took some time and even more money. So Margaret started a promotions company that focused on doing in-store promotions and activations. The company started activations for Boxer stores throughout KZN and the Eastern Cape and never looked back. We soon built up a 300 strong promotional force that now runs activation, promotions and events for many products including our own spices. Chisa Faya Trading or “Chisa Faya” is fast becoming the stand out name in activations, known for our results and effectiveness. Chisa Faya has no limit to the products it promotes. We have no problem doing a wide range of promotions from Low LSM products in rural and Low LSM stores to products aimed at the more affluent members of society in commercial and suburban areas.
