Our History
Our History
Established by Mr. Michel Hocheimy in 1970, MFH Group started off with a small Pharmacy on Wellington Street and slowly grew into a proper Pharmacy now called Banjul Pharmacy, named after the capital of the Gambia. Banjul Pharmacy makes sure that quality medicine is easily and affordably available to the Gambian people. Today, Banjul Pharmacy acts as a retailer and a wholesaler to many hospitals, clinics, drugstores, and other Pharmacies. In 1988, MFH Group established Sunu Kerr, which means "Our Home" in the local language of Wolof. Sunu Kerr offered a variety of consumer goods for bath, kitchen, and home decor. Today, Sunu Kerr has 2 branches and specializes in paints, painting tools, and household, garden, and kitchen goods. At Sunu Kerr, our aim is to make it convenient for customers to find what they need in order to maintain, beautify, and enjoy their homes.
In 1991, MFH Group officially introduced LG Electronics (by then Goldstar) into The Gambia. We became the exclusive agent for this South Korean brand, which was established in 1958.
In December 2015, Michel Hocheimy retired. Since then the management of the company has been in the hands of his son Fady Hocheimy.
Today, MFH Group has one of the best LG showrooms in West Africa, allowing others to see that the tiny Gambia can still meet the standards of any developed country. We employ over 180 staff and run 10 stores in the Gambia. Of course, we believe that continuous learning is the key to success in today′s fast-changing environment, therefore training our staff is a must. We continuously train them on product knowledge, customer service, and staff etiquette. All these tools are necessary to keep them challenged and enthusiastic about working at MFH Group.
At MFH Group, our vision has always been to add value to our employees and customers in everything we do.
