ENJO : Transforming Homes, Empowering Health, and Embracing Sustainability

The pandemic was a trigger to a host of very interesting business opportunities born out of personal experience. The enterprise HALO MIDDLE EAST – the exclusive distributor of ENJO products in the GCC – promoted by the dynamic duo of Tina Foussat and Diane O’Keefe has a similar tale to share.

Shortly after arriving in Dubai Tina’s son,experienced respiratory issues and allergies . Despite medical guidance to identify and eliminate potential triggers, including household chemicals, pinpointing the root cause proved to be a formidable challenge. Amid this challenging period, Tina and Diane, who happen to be neighbours, candidly shared their health concerns. Diane, addressing her health issues related to household chemicals, revealed how she had found relief using ENJO, an Austrian product.

However, when Tina sought to buy ENJO products in Dubai, she realized that they were not available. This sparked an idea – why not make ENJO available in Dubai?  Diane began diligently emailing the distributor and after over a year of discussions the duo were invited to Austria and put through rigorous interview to finally be awarded the exclusive rights to distribute the products in the GCC.  In the meantime, with Diane’s help, Tina, was able to buy the products abroad and begin using the product herself. The impact was transformative; she saw a huge improvement in her sons allergies.

Realizing the opportunity to make ENJO accessible in Dubai, Tina and Diane embarked on this entrepreneurial journey. ENJO in Dubai became more than a business; it became a solution born out of personal experiences, aiming to provide a healthier and safer alternative for clients and their families to work, rest, and play in a safe, clean, and aesthetic environment.

Commencing operations in 2021, Tina and Diane strategically pooled their capital to secure business licenses and fulfill their maiden order. Leveraging their strengths, Tina looked after back-office management, marketing, and negotiations, while Diane assumed a hands-on role in sales, deliveries, and training.
