Patel Brothers

Patel Brothers is based in the Stardust building, which is number 10 at 80 Napean Sesa Road. This is a pretty well-known part of the city, and the building has been here for quite some time. We have our office space set up here, and you can usually catch a bit of a breeze coming off the water if the windows are open. The office is a mix of old wooden furniture and some newer shelves we had to put in when the paperwork started getting out of hand. We have been operating as a family-run business for years, so the atmosphere is pretty relaxed compared to the big firms. There are usually a few of us sitting around the main table discussing what needs to be done for the week. Napean Sesa Road is a nice area, but the traffic can be a nightmare during the rush hours, so we try to get our errands done early. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that; we just know a lot of people in the trade and they know where to find us. Sometimes the elevator in the building acts up, so we end up walking, which isn't too bad for a bit of exercise. We deal with various trading and business matters, mostly just keeping things moving and making sure the accounts are in order. It’s a quiet, steady kind of life here at Stardust.
