We started from scratch, says Hannah Janoura

As T&T pre­pares to cel­e­brate an­oth­er an­niver­sary of In­de­pen­dence, few en­tre­pre­neurs em­body the coun­try’s spir­it of per­se­ver­ance and na­tion-build­ing more than Han­nah Janoura.

At 86 years young, the en­tre­pre­neur and phil­an­thropist has ded­i­cat­ed her life to grow­ing a fam­i­ly en­ter­prise that evolved from a small fab­ric shop in­to a man­u­fac­tur­ing in­sti­tu­tion, us­ing her suc­cess to sup­port char­i­ta­ble caus­es and com­mu­ni­ty ini­tia­tives across the twin-is­land re­pub­lic.

This life­long ded­i­ca­tion to ser­vice and ex­cel­lence has trans­formed her fam­i­ly busi­ness in­to a stead­fast house­hold brand syn­ony­mous with re­silience, crafts­man­ship and na­tion­al pride.
