In a striking testament to the adage “what a man can do, a woman can do better,” Catherine Kathure, Managing Director of Homelink Mabati, has made significant strides in the roofing industry.
Founded just five years ago from humble beginnings, Homelink Mabati has experienced exponential growth, now offering a variety of high-quality roofing sheets including box profile, veetile, prime tile, brick red, matte finish, and gloss finish.
In a recent interview, Catherine shared insights into her entrepreneurial journey and the evolution of Homelink Mabati.
“I started Homelink Mabati in 2018, and it gives me a lot of joy and satisfaction to have employed more than 20 youths, in line with the government’s call for job creation. I’d like to tell our youths that you don’t have to go looking for white-collar jobs; you can arm yourself with a technical skill of operating a machine or hone your sales skills and bring business.”
Catherine attributes the success of Homelink Mabati to its dedication to quality and customer satisfaction. “One thing that makes our mabati stand out is that it’s custom-made to meet customers’ needs with a lot of care and precision. We have all the machines and skilled staff who handle the tasks with great care. We import the raw materials and guarantee our customers that they will never go wrong with Homelink Mabati. We also stand out by giving free professional advice on best practices in roofing and offering free deliveries nationwide.”
Catherine’s story is not only an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs but also a powerful message to women. “What I’d like to call on fellow women is to believe in themselves and never to belittle themselves,” she emphasizes.
Homelink Mabati’s success story under Catherine Kathure’s leadership is a shining example of how determination, skill, and a commitment to quality can lead to significant achievements and positively impact the community.
