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