Business owner: Delano Hansen
Delano Hansen's (41) entrepreneurial career began when he transitioned from a decade-long IT career at First National Bank to establishing his embroidery and printing enterprise.
Despite lacking a formal university qualification, Hansen's early career was marked by determination and a drive to prove himself.
His experience at FNB provided a solid foundation but also instilled in him a desire for new challenges and innovative ventures.
His fascination with embroidery and printing techniques ignited the spark for his entrepreneurial endeavour, leading to the creation of Lokasikeps, his line of cap and t-shirt designs.
This venture laid the groundwork for what would evolve into Hansen and Hansen.
Pooling resources
Hansen set up the embroidery business with his father, pooling their skills and experiences.
This partnership not only strengthened their bond but also established a thriving enterprise.
The founding of Hansen and Hansen in 2018 marked a significant milestone, with strategic investments in cutting-edge equipment and a commitment to craftsmanship earning the company a reputation for excellence.
Happy customers
Central to Hansen's ethos is a relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction.
Every product from Hansen and Hansen reflects meticulous attention to detail, precision and artistic flair. This unwavering commitment has cultivated a loyal clientele and positioned the company as an industry leader.
Beyond business success, Hansen remains deeply committed to his community, actively engaging in charitable initiatives and supporting local causes.
A pivotal moment occurred in late 2019 when his father passed the reins of the business fully to him, marking a new chapter in Hansen's growth and leadership. His wife, Lucille Hansen, plays a vital role as his direct manager, contributing significantly to the day-to-day operations and strategic direction of Hansen and Hansen.
Looking ahead, Hansen remains focused on innovation and growth opportunities, envisioning expansion into new markets and enhancing product offerings while maintaining a steadfast commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
