“When Bell Equipment started looking at our transformation and empowerment strategies we engaged Simanye’s predecessor firm and were with them through their changes. They were able to interact effectively from the Board to shop floor levels and bring innovative thinking and tools. Their knowledge around BBBEE and transformation as well as many of our customer industries meant very relevant input was received. They also practice what they preach and lead by example in their social initiatives. Just wish there were more South African professional firms that are strategic and not just transactional and are contributing to transforming the SA economy rather than just telling others how they should do it.”

“The Simanye team brings a wealth of knowledge on all things BBBEE related. Not only are they reliable and efficient but they also display an ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Their quality service and knowledge based guidance has been and continues to be very useful to us.”

“Being a newly listed company in 2012, we knew and understood the importance of BBBEE compliance and targets from the beginning. Alana and her team from Simanye have assisted from the beginning to form our strategy, guide the Executive Committee and Business Units to prepare for our audits, and have helped to put updates to the Board together. Torre have found Simanye to be knowledgeable and willing to do whatever it takes to meet the deadlines. I would recommend them to any business that requires in-depth knowledge and ideas to improve their BEE certification.”

“The Simanye Team ran workshops with our team and relevant managers in order to gain insight to our business and to gather the necessary information to put together a presentation which included advice and recommendations going forward and which would see Gammatec a compliant company. The workshops were run with the utmost professionalism, feedback was precise and prompt and recommendations extremely valuable. The expertise and knowledge of the Simanye team is of the highest standard with communication lines remaining open at all times. The ability of the Simanye team to understand our company’s business strategies and requirements was accomplished in a very short period of time and thus the ability to present and recommend sound business strategies. We would have no hesitation in recommending Simanye’s services.”

“As a Hybrid Social Enterprise my team and I have searched for some time for advisors who can understand our complex needs and assist us with designing appropriate structures, which reflect our purpose and complement our social objective, while attracting investment and funding. Alana was the first person we have worked with who really listened to our needs, clearly identified our requirements and delivered us a tailored solution that not only addressed BBBEE but our ED and SED opportunities in relation to our unique offer, in an efficient and practical way.”
