BEEYU OVERSEAS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2003-2004 CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Dear Colleagues, I have been contemplating for quite some time in introducing a House Magazine for our company that would keep all the members of our organisation informed about our current activities, achievements, new ideas and the future plans. It is with this end in view I have pleasure in presenting the first issue of BEEYU NEWSLETTER. We, as you are aware, are a public limited company having our Registered office in Kolkata. All our manufacturing activities however, are located in South India. Starting from a humble beginning of that of a trading house, we have grown into a manufacturing unit of repute producing one of the best teas in South India - both CTC and Orthodox variety. Our teas have been well accepted by the buyers from all the countries we have exported to. This has been possible because of the untiring efforts of all my colleagues and our green leaf suppliers. I am sure all of you would agree the need to take the company to a greater height and, for this, we need not only your co-operation but, active participation of each and every member of the Beeyu family. I, therefore, request you to come forward with your suggestions and innovative ideas that would ensure better quality, higher productivity and cost control. The monsoon is here which will be followed by autumm and before long the festive season would start for all of you to enjoy. I wish all my colleagues and their family members well and look forward to communicate with them in the future through this column. Wishing you well once again and happy reading. B.P. SINGH Chairman
