Another Happy Toyota Customer!

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of delivering a brand-new Toyota Hilux to a proud new owner, and it was a truly special, family-centered moment. He shared that his choice to go with the Hilux was driven by its utility, perfectly suited for both work and family life.

What made the delivery even more memorable was that he was joined by his wife and children, all excited to be part of this milestone. It was a reminder that a vehicle isn’t just about getting from A to B it’s about the journeys we take together as families.

Strong, reliable, and versatile, the Toyota Hilux is built to handle it all, just like the people who drive it.

Team CFAO, in particular Toyota we extend our heart felt gratitude for choosing Toyota.

Happy safe rides and Welcome to the Toyota family!


Happy Customer, Monday Moments: Ms. Febby Phiri Drives Off in Her Dream Hilux

Today at Toyota Cairo Branch, we kicked off the week with an inspiring and joyful customer experience.
 
We were honored to welcome Ms. Febby Phiri, whose enthusiasm and radiant smile lit up our showroom. What began as a casual visit to explore our range of vehicles quickly turned into something more, a heartfelt connection with the Toyota Hilux Double Cab Comfort Plus.
 
Ms. Phiri shared that she initially passed through the dealership with an open mind, intending to browse. However, it was the Hilux, with its commanding presence and reputation for reliability, that truly caught her attention. One of our experienced sales consultants informed her of the ongoing special offer on the Hilux DC Comfort Plus, including an unbeatable 5-year warranty and dedicated after-sales support.
 
A week later, she returned, this time, for her handover ceremony. Surrounded by her supportive sisters, it was clear this wasn’t just a purchase; it was a dream realized. Her family proudly shared that Ms. Phiri has always had a special admiration for the Hilux, and today, that vision became reality.
 
“I finally have my dream car,” she said, beaming with joy.
On behalf of CFAO Management and the entire Toyota team, we extend our sincere gratitude to Ms. Phiri for choosing Toyota. We wish her countless safe journeys and unforgettable adventures in her new Hilux.
 
Here’s to miles of comfort, capability, and confidence ahead.

One Team, One Goal: A Celebration of Legacy and New Beginnings

The air at the beautiful Decapo Venue crackled with more than just the excitement of a party; it buzzed with the warmth of a family reunion. On September 6th, from the afternoon sun into the evening glow, our entire family from every corner of the nation converged for our annual One Team event. This wasn’t just a corporate gathering; it was a powerful testament to the community we’ve built, brick by brick, together.

The day was a vibrant tapestry of celebration and camaraderie. Laughter echoed through the halls, stories were exchanged between colleagues from Solwezi to Lusaka, and the spirit of unity was palpable. The energy reached a fever pitch during a lively dancing competition, where our most energetic colleagues threw down moves that would put professionals to shame, earning well-deserved prizes and roaring applause from the crowd.

The event was graced by the inspiring words of our Country Delegate, Mr. Dino Bianchi, who reminded us that our greatest strength lies not in our individual achievements, but in our collective heartbeat. “We are one team,” he echoed, a sentiment that resonated deeply in every heart present.

This sense of family made the next moment particularly poignant. We celebrated the incredible dedication of our long-serving team members, whose years of commitment are the very foundation of our success. It was in this atmosphere of gratitude and shared history that we shared bittersweet news. Our Financial Director, Mr. Simon Faraldo, who has been a pillar of our leadership, will be embarking on an exciting new chapter in Kenya in the same role. While we will profoundly miss his guidance and presence, the room swelled with heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for his success. It was a beautiful reminder that while our family may expand across borders, the bonds we forge remain unbreakable.

The celebration then turned to honouring excellence. We recognized the outstanding achievements of our branches in the Programme for Internal Control Assessment (PACI). A huge round of applause went to:

  • Solwezi Branch: Crowned the Best Performing Branch – a testament to their unwavering excellence.
  • Kitwe Branch: Honored for Most Consistent Performance – proving that reliability is a superpower.
  • Multibrand Main: Celebrated as the Best Improved Branch – a shining example of relentless growth and determination.

Furthermore, we celebrated our ANZEN best-performing brands: TopGear Zambia and Multibrand Main. Your dedication to excellence sets the standard for us all.

But the true award, the unspoken prize of the evening, was the powerful sight of every single team member, from every branch, fully present and participating. You danced, you cheered, you listened, and you connected. You were the One Team spirit.

The evening may have ended, but the feeling remains. We are a community. We are a force. We are one team, with one heartbeat, writing our success story together.

Here’s to us!
