ZIMRE Holdings Limited (ZHL) says it will continue to implement its strategy to champion the financial services industry for value chain development and initiate real estate development and growth.

In a trading update, for the first quarter ending March 31, 2022, ZHL said key moves within this strategy include the consolidation of operations to capitalize on economies of scale, elimination of duplicate costs, and exploring strategic partnerships both locally and regionally to enhance its market presence.

“In 2022 the group aims to develop an independent wealth management arm, which will inform and direct the group’s investment initiatives while offering similar services to the investing public. While ZHL is a house of various strong brands, the need for a uniform culture has become a real focus.

“Accordingly, in 2022, ZHL will be carrying out a culture transformation program based on collaboration and transparency to create passion and purpose for the success of the group,” ZHL company secretary Ruvimbo Chidora said.
