You now have several blue-chip companies on your client list.<br />
How did you build up your client base?<br />
We started very small. Our unique selling proposition is providing<br />
excellent customer service and support. This has helped to attract even<br />
international clients and has been vital in maintaining our client base.<br />
The other major factors where we are strong are:<br />
• Uncompromising quality. We work around the clock to ensure our<br />
clients get the best.<br />
• Health and safety. We always strive for zero injuries. We are currently<br />
implementing ISO45001 to provide for an even safer and healthier<br />
workplace and to align with international best practice. The health<br />
and wellbeing of our employees is very important to us. I have<br />
seen that a team that feels cared for works better and produces<br />
good results.<br />
• Innovation. We exist to solve complex problems and we try to be<br />
innovative as much as possible.<br />
How many staff do you have?<br />
We have 143 permanent staff which includes double-coded welders,<br />
riggers, boilermakers, fitters, engineers, pipe fitters, fitter and turners,<br />
supervisors, site managers, painters and semi-skilled workers.<br />
Do you have programmes that encourage staff to further<br />
their education?<br />
We believe in training, education and the development of our<br />
staff. This approach has helped us in improving our employees’<br />
level of performance through the acquisition of skills, abilities<br />
and knowledge. We have an annual budget of over R1-million for<br />
education and bursaries.<br />
All of the children of our employees who matriculated in 2022<br />
will receive bursaries. We also work closely with TVET colleges<br />
to provide learnerships and we have hired some of the students<br />
who excelled at college.<br />
Where do you see Notefull Engineering in five years’ time?<br />
Our goals include:<br />
• Registering on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. This<br />
would allow our employees to have a stake in the business<br />
by buying shares.<br />
• Creating Notefull as a franchise operator.<br />
• Taking Notefull into the automotive sector.<br />
• Establishing a global footprint.<br />
When did you join SACCI?<br />
