On why he ventured into energy, Malvin believes that energy is by far one of the most viable investments in our contemporary times more so if there is a secure market.
While energy is a profitable venture to grow Matrix Petroleum’s portfolio it also allows them to be a part of a bigger business chain as the industry generally relies on energy.
Speaking on the competitiveness of the industry, he believes that the fact that competition is stiff means Matrix Petroleum need to stay ahead of the game, with the best and that way they are guaranteed of success. While many look at competition as a threat Malvin sees it as a yardstick to prove the company’s worth in whatever venture they embark on.
His biggest inspiration is starting something and see it flourish.
“I find it more rewarding to start an idea and grow with it as this sets trends that when we jump on a bandwagon of anything.”
His inspiration comes from creating big ideas and turning them into reality.
