The FD Centre South Africa is part of an international group founded in the UK in 2001 by current chairman Colin Mills. Over the last two years The FD Centre has become the largest and most respected provider of part-time finance director (FD) services in South Africa. The FD Centre works with business owners, entrepreneurs and corporate executives on business and financial strategy, operational finance improvements and efficiencies and helps to provide business support by managing key stakeholder relationships inside and outside the organisation. Ambitious companies are provided access to top notch part-time FDs working on their business, bringing “big business experience” at a fraction of the cost of a full-time resource. In this way the owner and business benefit tremendously. Not only is there a highly skilled person with the relevant experience that the owner can turn to as a sounding board; but The FD Centre Principal also brings reassurance and science to the forward planning process, to ensure that all meaningful opportunities can be taken advantage of and that the owner is freed up to focus on the core value drivers of the business. The FD Centre’s other target market is the “Office of the CFO” in large corporations. Here high-level capacity is required as and when the need arises. This may be in the form of “specialised” and “focused projects”; or through the provision of “interim placements” whilst the company addresses resourcing and capacity issues. In both cases there is assurance that key issues are being dealt with by professionals with proven know-how and experience. The FD Centre engages Principals with strategic and commercial capability. Typically, their FDs have gained broad business acumen as FD or CEO of their own business venture or as corporate CFOs with 20 to 30 years of senior management experience. All their FDs are qualified and registered chartered accountants (SAICA or CIMA). They have walked the walk. An FD is not merely assigned to a company, each engagement is carefully assessed based on the company’s culture, leadership and business needs as well as the economic sector, which tends to go beyond qualification and years of experience. All FDs are carefully screened and psychometrically profiled to ensure they are aligned to the business purpose, culture and leadership style of the company. It is imperative that they have the necessary qualities to help guide the organisation through intense, high growth, as well as ever changing and challenging economic times. The FD is essential for ensuring that business operations are effectively optimised to achieve cost benefit, focusing not only on profit improvement, but making sure that cash flows required to sustain the organisation for the long term are properly managed. “Matt helped us make sense of it all, while also providing assistance on various projects ranging from cash planning to restructuring the finance team and ensuring a succession plan is in place. His input is not restricted to finance, however; I have often used him as a sounding board, and I consider him a resource for general business guidance and advice.”Ronelle Kleyn CEO – FluidRock. The FD not only manages finances, but coaches and mentors the CEO to help achieve his/her dream and vision for the business. A primary goal is to assist in taking the business forward through developing a robust, future proof business and financial strategy. While entrepreneurs often have a specific set of skills in product innovation or business development, they do not always have deep knowledge of best practice finance processes and systems. The FD provides a support function that will go beyond finance to include aspects such as leadership, coaching IT, relationship management and human resources. “We were impressed by The FD Centre’s ability to look at a company’s processes and workflow from an outsider’s point of view, thus allowing for subjective feedback, ideas and thoughts from a fresh perspective.” Maxime Regnart – Human Resources Manager -Sintech. The cornerstones of The FD Centre’s offering are collaboration, objectivity and trust. At times a number of different Team members (FDs) who have complementary skills and combined experience may be assigned to support a Client in order to navigate certain complex business matters, such as exit planning and completing the sale of your business at optimum value. This means that besides having their own FD, The FD Centre’s clients also have access to a local, national and international Team of over 650 CFOs worldwide. A typical client engagement starts from about two days per month upwards, working at the client’s premises or virtually to suit current circumstances, with additional availability via phone and e-mail. Engagements run from month to month, as long as a project requires, but tend to last many years once a relationship is forged and enduring value is delivered. The FD Centre prides itself on building long-term relationships with its clients through its range of services and highly trusted delivery mechanism. The FD Centre has a presence in three African countries namely: Ghana, Uganda and Mozambique, however we are able to serve any country in Africa via South African resources or via our African partners.

NCT is recognised as an international supplier of quality round wood timber, hardwood pulpwood chips and is the largest forestry marketing organisation in southern Africa.NCT Forestry (NCT)NCT is recognised as an international supplier of quality round wood timber, hardwood pulpwood chips and is the largest forestry marketing organisation in southern Africa.NCT Forestry (NCT) is a timber co-operative catering to the marketing needs of private and independent timber growers and subscribes to the seven cooperative principles: • Voluntary and open membership • Democratic member control • Member economic participation • Autonomy and independence • Education, training and information • Co-operation among co-operatives • Concern for community NCT is recognised as an international supplier of quality round wood timber, hardwood pulpwood chips and is the largest forestry marketing organisation in southern Africa. As a co-operative, its members who share in profits, own NCT. Today membership stands at 1 600 shareholding members, representing a total area of over 300 000ha - 21% of afforested land in South Africa. AREA OF OPERATION NCT’s core area of management and operation covers the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Demand for NCT’s service, however, has resulted in its sphere of influence extending to the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Swaziland. SERVICES OFFERED TO MEMBERS Marketing - Develop and source new pulpwood and round wood timber markets (domestic and international) for members. Tree farming - Manage plantations on behalf of land owners and NCT owned farms. Logistics - Negotiate the best road and rail contracts on behalf of members and stockpile round wood timber at strategically located depots. Harvesting - Advise on best harvesting methods and the appointment of harvesting contractors. Silviculture - Advise on best operating practices and the best species to plant dictated by site and market requirements. MARKETS Pulpwood - Hardwood timber destined for pulpwood is NCT’s predominant product, sold into various wood chipping plants. In some instances, NCT also markets timber to local corporate pulp and paper markets. Wood chips - NCT supplies timber into its two wholly owned facilities in Richards Bay and Durban that export wood chips to Japan, China, Taiwan and India. The mills place a significant portion of South African timber resources in an excellent position to access overseas markets. This, in turn, contributes to better pricing and financial returns for the private South African timber grower. Biofuel - NCT has limited access to international biofuel markets. Non-pulpwood - NCT offers its members the opportunity to trade their non-pulp round log timber into a host of financially secure non-pulp market options - saw timber, treated poles, mining timber, charcoal markets. Its network of registered non-pulp round log markets covers the three main timber growing areas in South Africa: Mpumalanga, KwaZulu Natal and the Eastern Cape. CERTIFICATION Forest certification NCT has been Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) - certified as a group manager since 1999. 37% of timber marketed by NCT is sourced from FSC-certified plantations. The remaining 63% is obtained from sources that comply with the FSC controlled wood requirements. The complexity and costs of managing plantations under the FSC system precludes many smaller operations from achieving certification. To address this issue, NCT has been active in developing an alternate certification system, Sustainable African Forest Assurance Scheme (SAFAS). This scheme has been internationally endorsed by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and is being rolled out to members. Quality management NCT obtained ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) certification in 2001 & holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management systems at its head office.Full Name of Company: NCT Forestry Agricultural Co-Operative Limited Nature of Business: Timber marketing Services / Products: NCT Forestry is a marketing cooperative for private and independent timber growers Date Established: 1949 Subsidiaries: • BayFibre (Pty) Ltd • NCT Durban Wood Chips (Pty) Ltd • ShinCel (Pty) Ltd Industry Quality Standards: ISO 9001: 2015 accreditation VISION To win and maintain the unreserved confidence and support of all its members, customers and employees.

Through strategic management, organisational development and people management strategies, we provide customised solutions, in partnership with our clientsEsinam Global Business Services Through strategic management, organisational development and people management strategies, we provide customised solutions, in partnership with our clientsEsinam Global Business Services is a business management and sustainable social impact organisation. Operating from Pinetown, we work with a multitude of small businesses in the eThekwini region. Through strategic management, organisational development and people management strategies, we provide customised solutions, in partnership with our clients. Esinam will help you: • Realign corporate strategy to actual daily operations • Listen, coach and inspire your people • Help your business strategically evolve and flourish • Provide real, sustainable and quantifiable solutions for graduate and unemployed youth training (in your industry), to help you better your BBBEE standing • Extend your CSR efforts to the most needy of rural areas, so your organisation can make the greatest impact • Provide mental health assistance to your team, positively boost corporate culture, so you retain skilled workers as your competitive advantage The Esinam Graduate Placement Programme (EGPP) Esinam has been able to train, and place hundreds of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates over the past years, recently reaching new heights by training and placing over 300 learners in 2021. We noticed a very opportune gap for the placement of TVET graduates. Small businesses are not yet in the position to hire permanent staff, as the Covid pandemic, floods and economy has negatively affected their income. However, this does not take away the fact that they still need workers in order to operate at optimal level and the business to grow. We at Esinam strategically place TVET students with companies relevant to their fields of study. The businesses are small enough to train the student in all facets of the business, whilst not being strained with salaries, assisting the students complete their in-service requirement and gain valuable work experience. Our job does not end at placing the graduates but also manages their learning experience whilst they work. The reason being, we want to ensure that the small business does very well whilst the graduates are there and grows to such an extent that the entrepreneur absorbs the graduate, as they are now familiar with that particular business. Where graduates are not absorbed, we offer them additional skills, including entrepreneurial skills, where we teach them to start a business with the skills they’ve acquired. So, they in turn may become the employers, creating jobs and paying forward the opportunity once given to them. This approach then becomes a win-win situation for all parties involved. If we look at various methods of facilitation, technology is part of many students’ experiences, regardless of their field of specialisation. Prior to business placement, the youth/graduates undergo our work readiness, accredited project management and technical skills training, for a period of three months. The aim of this training is to build relevant digital acumen and confidence in youth and cement programme confidence in host employers that we place multi- skilled and work ready candidates. The digital inclusion portion of our work readiness programme aims to benefit the TVET graduate in a sense that they will be in possession of multi-skills, which are in demand. As such, they are likely to survive the scourge of unemployment. This programme assists them in becoming creative and innovative when thinking of starting their own businesses. Students need to be involved in technology especially as the world embraces the fourth industrial revolution. The inclusion of TVET tradesmen graduates in digitalised societies will bring about an understanding that we live in a world of inter-related systems. This approach will ensure that there a connection between the different industries as well as an awareness of the correlations and synergies in place. We go one further in our range of interventions and host upskilling workshops for lecturers. Lecturers have a great influence on young minds. They are their first point of contact for knowledge acquisition and young people often hold them in very high esteem. It is essential that they understand the modern world of business and that they are able to manage the expectations of future employees or needs of young entrepreneurs. We also have frequent upskilling programmes for learners and host employers, which are offered separately. The objective being to uncover the gaps that exist in these relationships and seek to mitigate any hindrances to progress and future employment.Full Name of Company: Esinam Global Business Services Nature of Business: Business Consultancy Date Established: 12 January 2016 Subsidiaries: Esinam Foundation 252-911NPO Customer Base: Small, Medium, Large Business and Industry No. of Employees: 5 B-BBEE Status: Level 1 MISSION To provide customised management consulting solutions to public and private organisations utilising tools, methods and strategies that are innovative and results focused and work to create more sustainable employment and end qualified persons’ unemployment.

Ensuring safety, for us, means fostering community wellness and pioneering industry benchmarks. From our inception, we’ve evolved not only as a security provider but as a trusted partner, committed to safeguarding futures. Through these efforts, Mi7 National Group was recently voted KZN’s Top Brand in the Standard Bank KZN Top Business Awards in 2023. Security Strategy At Mi7 National Group, we are brand, image and values conscious, and our personnel are seamlessly integrated into the daily routine of the organisations they are serving and protecting. With our expert guidance, the client decides the service they want, and we tailor it to their specifications. All our personnel are therefore fully Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) accredited professionals, whose training has been bolstered through programmes administered by our expert coaches. Making your world safe also means investing in opportunities to meet sustainability goals, diversity and inclusion goals, corporate responsibility, and other social infrastructure advances. We’re proud of our efforts in these areas, not only because they become a benchmark of possibilities and help us lead the industry, but because by striving to achieve them, they make us better people. Innovation and Technology By incorporating our public service model with digital innovations in surveillance technology, the concept of a city-wide surveillance net was developed. The average armed response company relies on alarm system activations and regular patrols of client-centric areas to provide a service model based on reacting to crimes once they have already occurred. This business model is outdated, as it does not actively seek to be proactive in crime fighting, deterrence, and prevention. Research has shown that active surveillance plays an important role in the early detection of criminal behaviour. Strategically placed cameras – monitored 24/7 – increase the visible security footprint and enable rapid responses in instances where criminal activity is detected. Indeed, other security companies have erected CCTV surveillance systems on streets occupied by their clients, or on the properties of said clients – systems which are monitored off site or by a third party. However, at Mi7 National Group, we have combined digital innovations in surveillance with our decades long expertise in crime prevention to develop a surveillance system unmatched anywhere else in the country. Mi7 National Group is the only private company in South Africa to implement an integrated surveillance network that spans an entire city and is monitored 24/7. The system is fully funded by one company and rolled out at no direct/indirect cost to the city or its residents. This network is to the benefit of the city at large, whether its occupants are Mi7 clients or not. The surveillance net has a number of practical applications, benefiting communities and law enforcement on a daily basis. The system: • Helps law enforcement and Mi7 teams map routes criminals use to enter areas • Assists law enforcement and Mi7 teams plan strategic operations • Results in dozens of stolen vehicle recoveries and the arrest of criminals every month • Provides reassurance to residents and business owners • Assists insurance companies when finalising accident claims • Deters criminal elements from entering the cityFull Name of Company: Mi7 National Group (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Security Services Offered: Specialised Security and Guarding Services Date Established: 1998 (originally), Rebranded in 2016.

Box 913, Umhlanga Rocks, 4320 Tel: +27 (0)31 536 8500 E-mail: info@coxyeats.co.za Website: www.coxyeats.co.zaMICHAEL JACKSON's strong adherence to the core values of integrity and client service, as well as a good sense of humour, have served him well in his professional career. He was appointed as managing partner of Durban law firm Cox Yeats in 2011. In January 1998, Jackson joined Cox Yeats as a candidate attorney. He commented that starting there was really tough. Jackson was articled to Graham Cox, who checked every document that he produced. Jackson said, "Graham Cox told me that I needed to learn the basics of writing and suggested that I read a book or two." This advice came as quite a shock especially after having studied at university for seven years. "This somewhat Victorian introduction to law and work taught me that in law you are never an expert. You must always remain humble and you must take nothing for granted," added Jackson. His early career, he says, was based on a lot of hard work and some luck. In addition, Jackson said that he was fortunate to work with some good people. "I was privileged to work closely with Graham Cox (who at that time was undoubtedly the best lawyer in Durban) and with Jeremy Yeats. In many respects they were complete opposites. Graham economic with words and decisive; Jeremy amiable, who pondered and weighed the various options in committee." A highlight of his career was making partner in 2000, after only one year out of articles. From the outset, Jackson said that he was exposed to large clients and important matters. A big opportunity arose when Jeremy Yeats fell ill, and Jackson took over the work that he handled for Richards Bay Minerals and Tongaat Hulett on land, the environment and minerals. It was through this exposure that he then specialised in natural resource law, which was something that he had not considered at university, where he had focused on tax, finance and corporate law. Jackson says that he is quite old fashioned in his approach to his career as he believes that "You should make a place work, if it is an environment that works". His 30 year employment history at Cox Yeats is in great contrast to the modern trend of job hopping, which is also a challenge for employee retention. Jackson says that it is important to have a culture that builds people from a young age and grows their careers so that they stay with the firm. However, this does require a reciprocal relationship of trust and organisational commitment. Leading a law firm and dealing with a range of diverse personalities requires much responsibility, especially with 28 partners making a total of 45 professionals. As such Jackson favours a participative management style and is as inclusive as possible in allowing everyone to air their voices to reach consensus. He commented that it has been very fulfilling to develop a team of professionals around him and work collectively, as opposed to individually. The Cox Yeats' way values independence and participation. However, he added, "We have found that focussing on our core values and measuring all decisions in reaction to these values has given us much relevance. Our model in recent years of living true to these values has been very successful." An important part of these values is offering outstanding client service and being quite bold. "We regard ourselves as the best KZN law firm and have an increasing amount of international reach, which in the future we would like to grow," concluded Jackson. Jackson is married to Helen who is also a lawyer and has two children. In his free time, he enjoys rowing three times a week on Durban Harbour, the office exercise class and hobbling around the neighbourhood. Apart from international travel, a favourite breakaway spot is a cottage on the Transkei wild coast, which has been in the family for nearly 80 yearsFull Name of Company: Cox Yeats Attorneys Nature of Business: Legal Services / Attorneys Services: Specialised Legal Services Date Established: 1964 Bankers: Standard Bank (Primary) Memberships: SA Law Society B-BBEE Status: Level 2 VISION To make a positive difference in our world and to do this by consistently being the most dynamic and innovative law firm that offers highly personalised expertise.

He is responsible for all SAICA's activities in the region, which comprises primarily KwaZulu-Natal. Prior to joining SAICA, he held the position as senior manager in the Accounting Advisory Services division at KPMG, where he worked for ten years, and trained and qualified as a chartered accountant. Asvat's experience includes external and internal audit, forensic investigations, tax compliance and tax consulting as well as various consulting assignments. His career has included a short-term assignment in KPMG's Manchester office in the external audit division, which comprised conversions from UK GAAP to US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). He has undertaken International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) conversions in South Africa and Namibia. During his career, he was appointed as a curators' agent of a transport business, which was seized by the Asset Forfeiture Unit (Scorpions) and was appointed as a chief financial officer for an associate of a listed cellular company. Asvat believes that his career is successful because of three things: integrity, passion and stepping out of his comfort zone. "To me, integrity is a mark of a man; without it one's character is left undefined. In light of the changes in the profession, I am going to have to say that integrity holds true for me, as it should for every other profession, and is the most important aspect that I have learned. Second, my passion, for without it, you cannot succeed. And third, I am willing to step out of my comfort zone in order to attain the unattainable." He added that he is absolutely dedicated and committed to the work that he does, has an immense passion for work and a great desire for making a difference to society within his sphere of influence. Asvat says that his inspiration comes from "savouring the sweetness of success of someone whom I have helped and inspired, be it a member, a stakeholder, a university student or a learner". During his professional journey and in the early stages of South African democracy, he, as with other previously disadvantaged individuals found climbing the corporate ladder a serious challenge, having to constantly prove oneself beyond reproach. He commented: "I thrive on challenges and making the impossible possible." However, having made his way to senior manager, Asvat was head hunted and joined SAICA. This was challenging in the sense that he was catapulted into a leadership position. He was the first non-white person to be appointed in the 99-year history of the Institute, which also had its own set of challenges. "Suddenly, I was thrust in front of 2 200 members, business and government stakeholders with whom I started engaging. We now have more than 4 400 members." In this regard Asvat says, "My personality profile has been somewhat defined as a catalyst and I am driven to achieve and persevere." Establishing the first independent SAICA office in KwaZulu-Natal, and helping to build the SAICA and the CA(SA) brand to be a premier recognised business designation, have been highlights of his career. In addition, Asvat has spearheaded a significant transformation project with the KZN Treasury and guided them to becoming a SAICA Accredited Training office. A major forthcoming project for him is to see SAICA playing a more significant role in shaping economic policies within KwaZulu-Natal. Asvat comes from a family of five siblings and is happily married and the father of three sons. He credits much of his success to his wife, Fatima, and his mother, who have played very supportive roles in his career. In his free time, he says: "I enjoy the adrenaline stuff - I have gone skydiving (jumping out of a plane at 12 000 feet) and did the highest commercial bungee jump in the world at the Blaukrans river." He concludes: "Regardless where you come from, hard work and perseverance will bring you success. I believe that if you knock at the door long enough the door is bound to open."Full Name of Company: South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) Industry Sector: Financial and Business Services Date Established: 1894 Subsidiaries: SAICA entities are listed below: • The Hope Factory (Non-Profit Company) • The Thuthuka Education Upliftment Fund (Non Profit Company) • Accounting Technicians (South Africa) • SAICA Enterprise Development (Pty) Ltd SAICA is also a member of Extensible Business Reporting Language.
