ANTHONY SCLANDERS - Group Finance Director
“The noblest art is that of making others happy. ”
With 40 locations under the Tashas Group, we run a tight ship as an organisation. Anthony has been part of our senior management team since 2015, bringing over ten years of experience to the role and looking after the business globally — across the Middle East, South Africa and the United Kingdom. He is very much involved in the day-to-day running of that ship financially, and his role extends further into the legal, HR, tax, operations and management realm.
With more than a decade in the seat as a Chartered Accountant, and having furthered his studies through an executive programme at the London Business School, Anthony’s focus is on consistently improving our effectiveness as a growing brand. That means ensuring the business is systemised and measured, that our exceptionally high brand standards are met and maintained and overseeing the sale of franchisee stores as and when necessary.
Anthony comes to us with an impressive track record in the industry, having worked with Deloitte, Toyota and Multichoice DSTV, locally and internationally.
He was a key player in the early stages of the Famous Brands buyout – a key moment in our story. His involvement meant that this transition as well as further business transitions have been streamlined and efficient.
When the group faced hard times during the Covid-19 pandemic, Anthony conceived of an intricate plan to keep our franchises running by reducing costs and implementing saving methods. This has meant that the group has remained buoyant in the face of hardship.
His personal loves – food, beautiful spaces and travel – are very much in sync with our brand.
