B-Active Events is the name behind many popular sporting events across South Africa B-Active Sports B-Active Events is the name behind many popular sporting events across South Africa B-Active Events is the name behind many popular sporting events across South Africa and this event management company is a formidable player in the public sports industry in South Africa. From relatively modest beginnings, the company has grown dramatically. Founded in 2004 by Damian Bradley, the first B-Active event was the 2005 Belgotex Cycle Race in Pietermaritzburg. B-Active Events now owns and manages several national public sporting events, including the Ultra Tri Series, the TinMan Series, Umngazi Pondo Pedal & Run Stage Race, and the Quest South Africa Series. They also own and manage a few regional expos which attract retailers and customers from around South Africa. B-Active works with major corporate sponsors and local municipal departments to stage these events and expos. The company has been actively involved in almost every major public sporting event in South Africa, with an enviable list of premier sporting events across a wide range of sporting codes, where they manage sponsorship contracts and logistics for specific areas of the events. These include: • Tour Durban Cycle Race • Ironman 70.3 • 94.7 Cycle Challenge • Cape Town Cycle Tour • 5FM Energade Tri-Series • East Coast Radio/Discovery Big Walk • Amashova Cycle Race • Comrades Marathon • Spar Ladies Race • Challenge Cape Town Professional Approach The sporting events market is dynamic and constant change and rapid growth offers great opportunities. But it also demands ongoing innovation and product redesign to stay ahead. B-Active believes their success is based on the right mix of tradition and new ideas. As Damian Bradley points out, “Because our work is fused with our passion, we can’t help but really enjoy what we do. This passion for our industry shows in our attention to detail in planning for each and every event. Being an athlete, I know what competitors look for in an event and what they need pre, during and post events. This insight assists us with our event planning and decisions, to give our competitors what they need and when they need it.” For B-Active Events, a professional approach to sports management is essential to their success. This drives all facets of the business, from delivering seamless, well-managed events, to valuable brand exposure for sponsors, and even legal compliance, as all sporting events must comply with the new Sports Safety Act. The development of new events and growth of existing events are key objectives for the business and demand effective marketing. Growth, however, adds complexity, and first-rate logistical planning and execution are therefore essential to the company’s success. Participant experience is critical to the sustainability of each event – and the growth of B-Active Sports – so a well-run event is not negotiable. This a core competence for B-Active Events, with significant experience across various sporting codes. Delivering Branding Opportunities B-Active Events also supports clients with strategic planning for branding opportunities and promotional requirements. The company has grown to including event branding teams and supplying and managing corporate branding materials on behalf of their clients. Services include: • Event concept and origination • Event management • Event logistics • Branding management • Sponsorship activation • Brand activations • Online entry systems • Registration solutions • Design and supply of branded collateral • Storage and return of branded items • Stand design and supply • Expo activations • Personalised race support crew Shop B-Active recently launched the race apparel (and other) brand I AM ACTIVE which is an extension of its passion for events and adds another dimension to the business. www.iamactive.co.za Part of the Community B-Active Sports has a strong community spirit and aligns with local charities and schools for their events, usually looking to support local school trusts and Rotary charities, but the company has a particular loyalty to CHOC, the Childhood Cancer Foundation, and have supported them frequently over the years. “We look forward to bringing your brand to life or giving you an outstanding experience at one of our events,” says Bradley.Full Name of Company: B-Active Events Nature of Business: Sports Marketing Services/Products: Event & Sponsorship Management Date Established: 1/11/2004 Customer Base: General public Bankers: FNB VISION To build interesting and beneficial sporting events around South Africa for the public to participate in MISSION To create exciting and quality events for the public of South Africa KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Damian Bradley CONTACT DETAILS HEAD OFFICE Physical Address: 8 Sandy Lane, Everton, Kloof, 3640 Tel: +27 (0)67 198 6737 E-mail: info@bactive.com Website: www.bactive.comDAMIAN BRADLEY has always been an entrepreneur. As a schoolboy at boarding school, he earned money cutting hair and running an after-hours tuck shop, so it was no surprise that he opted to start his own business at only 26 years of age. Never one to settle in his comfort zone, after school, Bradley opted to study business management at what is now the Durban University of Technology. Then, in 1995, when South Africa was riding the crest of the Rugby World Cup wave, he was inspired to do a course in sports management for business. After this, he went on to study marketing. After finishing his studies in Cape Town, Bradley decided it was time to travel. When he needed to earn a living in the United Kingdom, he found a position at a law firm. Not exactly what he'd planned as a career move, but he stayed there for two years before returning to Durban to take up a corporate regional marketing position. This rich and varied experience has stood him in good stead in running a sports management company. And in 2004, when he found himself retrenched after a corporate restructure, Bradley decided it was time to start B-Active Sports, with a plan for a single sporting event as his starting point. Before long, Bradley had grown his portfolio to running 20 small events a year, but he realised that it made better business sense to focus on the more successful events, with potential to grow. Building on these allowed him to build on economies of scale, growing his priority events in terms of participants, profitability and reputation. A pivotal point in the growth of B-Active Sports was in 2011, when the company secured its first major corporate sponsorship. This not only provided a new revenue stream, but also opened the door for future growth. But while this marks a career highlight, Bradley gets a great sense of accomplishment from watching competitors in his events grow in skill and competitiveness over time, with several having started as novices and growing into international, professional athletes. As Bradley points out, he and his team have managed to combine their work with their passion, so it's easy to love their jobs and deliver with commitment and dedication. Bradley's focus is on his clients, the athletes they serve, and his team. Damian's leadership style is collaborative. Teamwork is important to him and while recognising his role in creating the company vision and the energy to make it happen, he believes in leading from beside his colleagues. "B-Active Sports is a small company. My goal is to grow the team in terms of confidence and competence. I ensure my staff feel secure in their jobs, but at the same time I keep pushing them to develop themselves. I believe this gives them a powerful sense of purpose and job satisfaction. And that's good for them - and for the business." "Right now, I see potential in events outside of our traditional area of strength, and we'll be looking to expand into new areas." Unsurprisingly, Bradley is a keen sportsman. Before starting B-Active sports, he had been a committed athlete for eight years, competing in triathlon events at national level. This formed his approach to his events. "My own experience as a competitor has always given me the drive and insight to create events from an athlete's perspective. It guides my decisions on the right events to stage, and the various avenues to pursue in my business." While no longer competing at national level, he is still very active with a great love of surfing, mountain biking and road and trail running. Bradley is also a dedicated father of two (his seven year-old daughter and five year-old son), and rates getting married ten years ago as one of the best decisions he's ever made.

He is also the Head of Advisory - KwaZulu-Natal and his areas of specialism include governance, risk management, internal audit and overseeing the provision of audit, tax and advisory services in complex public and private sector environments. Moodley commented that he is excited about the future of the profession and he looks forward to leading KPMG's continued growth in KwaZulu-Natal. He added, "My career has been driven by the opportunities that my long association with KPMG has provided. The journey has not always been an easy one; at times it has been tough. I started off in 1997 as a young and inexperienced clerk, from a disadvantaged background, and I had to fight to prove myself." Moodley said that his wife, Kogie, and his mother have played very supportive roles while he was learning to find his feet in the business world. In addition, the ability to persevere and strive for success saw Moodley through these early challenges. The journey with KPMG also included many firsts. These experiences include his first local flight, his first international flight and his first international experience, which was a three month project in the United Kingdom. This international experience was later followed by a month in Saudi Arabia where he set up a new internal audit function in that region. Other highlights of his career include participating in partner development programmes in Spain, Italy and Cuba. Moodley said, "These were fantastic experiences, which have enabled me to grow into the person that I am today." Moodley has an inclusive leadership style and enjoys adding value to clients and 'bringing people to the table'. He added that he is nurturing of his team and encourages them to focus on the areas that they are good at, to provide opportunities to succeed. He endeavours to surround himself with the best people who can deliver high quality services. In addition to his strong technical and leadership skills, he says, "my major strengths are that I am very approachable and get on well with people." "KPMG in KZN is a thriving practice and we have invested in multi-disciplinary teams who can pool their skills to the benefit of our clients. We employ people who have experience and expertise in both the public and private sectors and in diverse industries such as healthcare, education, manufacturing, IT, mining, petroleum, agriculture, tourism and gaming to name a few. The team also comprises engineers, a medical doctor, a systems architect, major capital project specialists and lawyers amongst others. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors who are not able to have these skills readily available in KZN." The KPMG team works on significant projects in listed companies, state owned companies, government departments and municipalities. The fact that these projects have an impact on the economy as well as on the lives of many people through job creation gives Moodley much satisfaction. Moodley believes that South Africa requires more innovative responses in order to address the challenges that face the country. "We can't keep doing the same thing, we need to do things differently. You must be the change that you want to see in the world." He added that KPMG South Africa plays an important role in driving the innovation and digital space. "One can see the true might of the firm; that KPMG SA can play in this space is wonderful." Moodley is happily married and has a close-knit family, so much so that he struggles to spend time away. He is delighted that he is able to give his two sons the opportunities his family could not afford when he was growing up. He is passionate about football, playing twice a week, and is an avid golfer.Full Name of Company: KPMG South Africa Nature of Business: Our global network of member firms operating in 152 countries enhances the mobility of skills and knowledge we offer.

RBCT is owned by Anglo Operations, ARM Coal, South32 Coal, Exxaro, Glencore Operations, Kangra Sasol Mining, South Dunes Coal Terminal, South African Coal Mine Holdings, Tumelo Coal Mines and Umcebo Mining, with Optimum Coal and Koornfontein in business rescueRichards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) is a world class coal export terminal situated in the Port of ichards Bay. The terminal was opened in 1976 with an original capacity of 12-million tons per annum (mt/a). RBCT is a hub of strategic economic importance in the South African coal industry. The multi-award-winning terminal provides South Africa’s Coal Exporting Parties (CEPs) with a worldclass logistics service that facilitates the export of coal. All RBCT’s operations and administrative functions are conducted in Richards Bay. RBCT is owned by Anglo Operations, ARM Coal, South32 Coal, Exxaro, Glencore Operations, Kangra Sasol Mining, South Dunes Coal Terminal, South African Coal Mine Holdings, Tumelo Coal Mines and Umcebo Mining, with Optimum Coal and Koornfontein in business rescue. Black women own 5.26% of RBCT, which is a 29.54% black-owned terminal, through which 98% of South Africa’s coal exports pass and to which 68 of South Africa’s coal mines, some further than 1 000 km away, supplied coal in 2019. The four-million tonnes of terminal capacity allocated to junior mining companies is still very far from taken up although this is expected to improve in 2020. RBCT is positioned at one of the world’s deep-sea ports and handles an average of 76 large ships per month and large volumes of coal. The 276-hectare site currently boasts a quay that is 2.2km long with six berths and four ship loaders, with a stockyard capacity of 8.2-million tons. RBCT shares a strong cooperative relationship with South Africa’s national utility, Transnet, which provides the railway services linking the coal mines to the port, and the coordination of all shipping. The terminal received 25 trains a day in 2019, compared with 27 a day in 2018 and has a capacity to receive 32 a day as part of its partnership with Transnet Freight Rail. Eight hundred and eighty six vessels were loaded in 2019, three more than in 2018. The terminal exported 72.15-million tonnes (Mt) of coal in 2019. Asia was again the biggest export destination by far, with India and Pakistan together absorbing 91% of total exports, up on last year’s 81.6%. India, as the biggest single country recipient, imported 41.6 Mt, up on 2018’s 35.29 Mt, followed by Pakistan’s 12.05 Mt (9.37 Mt in 2018). RBCT CEO Alan Waller said the terminal had again set 77 Mt as the coal export target for 2020, the same as in 2019. RBCT’s export record of 76.47 Mt was set in 2017. The recent equipment replacement programme has been highly successful, with the first phase’s brand new stacker reclaimers and shiploaders underpinning turnaround time consistency. The two rail-mounted stacker reclaimers operate at a rate of 6 000 t/h and the two rail-mounted shiploaders at a rate of 10 000 t/h.

The terminal was opened in 1976 with an original capacity of 12-million tons per annum (mt/a). RBCT is a hub of strategic economic importance in the South African coal industry. The multi-award-winning terminal provides South Africa’s Coal Exporting Parties (CEPs) with a worldclass logistics service that facilitates the export of coal. All RBCT’s operations and administrative functions are conducted in Richards Bay. RBCT is owned by Anglo Operations, ARM Coal, South32 Coal, Exxaro, Glencore Operations, Kangra Sasol Mining, South Dunes Coal Terminal, South African Coal Mine Holdings, Tumelo Coal Mines and Umcebo Mining, with Optimum Coal and Koornfontein in business rescue. Black women own 5.26% of RBCT, which is a 29.54% black-owned terminal, through which 98% of South Africa’s coal exports pass and to which 68 of South Africa’s coal mines, some further than 1 000 km away, supplied coal in 2019. The four-million tonnes of terminal capacity allocated to junior mining companies is still very far from taken up although this is expected to improve in 2020. RBCT is positioned at one of the world’s deep-sea ports and handles an average of 76 large ships per month and large volumes of coal. The 276-hectare site currently boasts a quay that is 2.2km long with six berths and four ship loaders, with a stockyard capacity of 8.2-million tons. RBCT shares a strong cooperative relationship with South Africa’s national utility, Transnet, which provides the railway services linking the coal mines to the port, and the coordination of all shipping. The terminal received 25 trains a day in 2019, compared with 27 a day in 2018 and has a capacity to receive 32 a day as part of its partnership with Transnet Freight Rail. Eight hundred and eighty six vessels were loaded in 2019, three more than in 2018. The terminal exported 72.15-million tonnes (Mt) of coal in 2019. Asia was again the biggest export destination by far, with India and Pakistan together absorbing 91% of total exports, up on last year’s 81.6%. India, as the biggest single country recipient, imported 41.6 Mt, up on 2018’s 35.29 Mt, followed by Pakistan’s 12.05 Mt (9.37 Mt in 2018). RBCT CEO Alan Waller said the terminal had again set 77 Mt as the coal export target for 2020, the same as in 2019. RBCT’s export record of 76.47 Mt was set in 2017. The recent equipment replacement programme has been highly successful, with the first phase’s brand new stacker reclaimers and shiploaders underpinning turnaround time consistency. The two rail-mounted stacker reclaimers operate at a rate of 6 000 t/h and the two rail-mounted shiploaders at a rate of 10 000 t/h. The stackers allocate the coal to 91 stockpiles and reclaimers extract 42 different grades of coal from the stockpiles. The shiploaders then load the coal on to waiting vessels.

TSAM strives continuously to improve systems and technologies to deliver the best quality vehicles to customers, vehicles that meet customers; needs and their high expectations of what the Toyota brand epitomisesToyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) TSAM strives continuously to improve systems and technologies to deliver the best quality vehicles to customers, vehicles that meet customers; needs and their high expectations of what the Toyota brand epitomisesToyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) is a key component of South Africa’s automotive manufacturing sector. Toyota has been a well-loved, reliable and trusted brand in South Africa since 1961. The company plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth and creating employment. TSAM is wholly owned by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) in Japan. As such it is guided by the vision and strategy of its parent company. The company has been the beneficiary of ongoing investment since its manufacturing inception in 1972 when TSAM started operations at Prospecton near Durban. TSAM is committed to South Africa by strategically investing in the people, tools and equipment to produce cars and commercial vehicles of world-class standard. TSAM strives continuously to improve systems and technologies to deliver the best quality vehicles to customers, vehicles that meet customers; needs and their high expectations of what the Toyota brand epitomises. In addition, TSAM is dedicated and committed to supplying parts, accessories and services that meet the requirements of the South African and export markets that it services. The equipment and facilities used for manufacturing vehicles at TSAM forms part of TMC’s global production lines, which are characterised by high levels of industrial automation and robotics, often found in developed manufacturing ecosystems such as Japan, North America and Europe. Furthermore, TSAM has followed global trends concerning the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) and transitioned significant areas of its plant towards more complex and sophisticated digital equipment with the objective of enhancing the plant’s effectiveness and efficiency. TSAM has a fully equipped robotics and automation training facility in Durban. This facility will train technicians in the maintenance of complex manufacturing equipment, such as welding and spray-painting robots. Value Chain TSAM imports over 22 models from its global Toyota affiliates, and all Lexus models are imported from manufacturing plants in Japan. They also export vehicles to 75 countries throughout Africa, Europe and Latin America and its vehicles are distributed regionally through a network of independently owned and run dealerships in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland. These include full dealership and satellite services. Toyota collaborates with its value chain partners to ensure that its vehicles stay true to the Toyota, Lexus and Hino brands. This enables them to ensure that all components meet high quality standards and are delivered on time and in full. The dealer network is critical in delivering on their customer-first promise. Therefore, TSAM believes that a large part of its success is attributed to the way its value chain collaborates and engages to form an integrated ecosystem – from parts suppliers to manufacturing, sales, its dealer network and its valued customers or guests. Employees TSAM’s employees are the custodians of the Toyota Way. They support continuous improvement through training and development, providing on-site, hands on experience (Genchi Genbutsu) and taking each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. Training is the key to the success of TSAM and is therefore all-encompassing; from assembly-line team members to dealer personnel. This does not only involve skills transfer, but also extends to ‘imbibing’ the Toyota culture of a caring company, transformation in the work place and development of a well-trained, integrated supply chain. TSAM is fostering a working environment based on the culture of Mendomi, which means that they take care of employees like they would take care of their own family. Social Programmes TSAM cares for all members of society and aims to make it a better place. They commit time and resources to developing all South Africans by empowering and uplifting local communities through impactful and measurable social programmes. The social contribution activities are aligned with TMC’s Global Vision of contributing to the sustainable advancement of the societies in which it operates. The corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme was established in 1972 by Dr Albert Wessels with a focus to offer training and support to communities closest to their production plant and offices. TSAM is committed to build a better future for our children, communities and country. CSR has four pillars that are focused on, namely education; road safety; civic and community service; and health and human service. They believe that focusing on these four pillars will make a positive, sustainable and long-term difference to their business, communities and the SA economy. TSAM is represented in communities through the TSA Foundation, its CSR department, employee involvement and in-kind donations. They aim to support the communities that are within a 50km radius of their operations. This ensures localised, focused and impactful initiatives are addressed to target specific needs of the societies in which they operate.Full Name of Company: Toyota South Africa Motors (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Manufacturing Services / Products: Motor Vehicles Date Established: 1961 No. of Employees 7845 (June 2021) Bank: Standard Bank KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Andrew Kirby Managing Director: Nigel Ward Marketing Director: Leon Theron Financial Manager: Bronwyn Kilpatrick CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 15 Prospecton Road, Durban, 4001 Postal Address: P.O Box 26070, Isipingo Beach, 4115 Tel: +27 (0)31 910 2911 +27 (0)31 910 2992 E-mail: mmkize@toyota.co.za Website: www.toyota.co.zaFull Name of Company: Toyota South Africa Motors (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Manufacturing Services / Products: Motor Vehicles Date Established: 1961 No. of Employees 7845 (June 2021) Bank: Standard Bank KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Andrew Kirby Managing Director: Nigel Ward Marketing Director: Leon Theron Financial Manager: Bronwyn Kilpatrick CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 15 Prospecton Road, Durban, 4001 Postal Address: P.O Box 26070, Isipingo Beach, 4115 Tel: +27 (0)31 910 2911 +27 (0)31 910 2992 E-mail: mmkize@toyota.co.za Website: www.toyota.co.za Up Back to Top Business Leaders Home Add Your Business Up Home About Us KZN Business Chambers Rewards Partners Editors NOTE KZN Top Business - Publishers notes - KZN Top Business Leaders - Launch 2024 Menu KZN Business Leaders Business Women Fyonn Kane Collection 2019 2022 Supertech Collection Top Business Women 2024 VIP Invite Awards Nominate TBW 2024 KZN Business Gurus News Bookshelf Shop On-line Events Contact The Team Top Business Portfolio Full Name of Company: Toyota South Africa Motors (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Manufacturing Services / Products: Motor Vehicles Date Established: 1961 No. of Employees 7845 (June 2021) Bank: Standard Bank KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Andrew Kirby Managing Director: Nigel Ward Marketing Director: Leon Theron Financial Manager: Bronwyn Kilpatrick CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 15 Prospecton Road, Durban, 4001 Postal Address: P.O Box 26070, Isipingo Beach, 4115 Tel: +27 (0)31 910 2911 +27 (0)31 910 2992 E-mail: mmkize@toyota.co.za Website: www.toyota.co.za Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) is a key component of South Africa’s automotive manufacturing sector.

Head Client Coverage, Business Clients, KZN: Hameed NoormahomedJAMES GREGORY is the co-founder and CEO of Wozani Berg Gasoline. He worked for a petroleum company for ten years before buying a trade store in Creighton in the KZN Midlands. Although successful as a trader, he did not want to be stuck in a small town, isolated from the world. In 1996, he obtained a tender for fuel distribution and sales and started Berg Gasoline in partnership with his wife Michelle. Phenomenal growth followed resulting from long term relationships and a good reputation. Trust was paramount with business often based on only a handshake. In 2004, a Black Empowerment deal was struck with Wozani Holdings. Berg Gasoline became Wozani Berg Gasoline (WBG). In 2011, Wozani bought James and Michelle out and they left a thriving business. However, during 2013 the business crashed, prompting James and Michelle to take back the management of a then-troubled company. Many challenges had to then be overcome, and changes made on the route to success. "Some major downs along with the ups," says James. "When you have a kick me down, you must get up again. Never give up" he comments. "When there is a failure, you must always look for a solution, make a plan and find a new opportunity." He believes in being open and honest with all concerned, including the bank. He says, "cash flow is like oxygen for business and without it, a business cannot survive. Profits are like food. You can survive a few days without food, but not without oxygen." James explains that it is essential to build a good team. He requires adherence to the operating principles of integrity, accountability, commitment, and taking responsibility for all one's actions. Employees' welfare and safety are important. He believes passionate, responsible, and innovative employees are the building blocks of the company's future. He has a relaxed way with people but admits to sometimes feeling rage when things are wrong, but he gets over it and forgets quickly. Every day offers new ideas, challenges and opportunities for him. "Even bad news and tough times create opportunities. Everybody has tough times. Make a plan!" he says. He believes there is always something to be thankful for and celebrate. Being positive and enthusiastic does not mean James is impulsive. Whenever he does something in the business it is because he gave it a lot of thought. "We wanted to ensure the balance is right. It is not all about money. You need to make some money, have fun, do good, and make a difference," he quips. He says, "WBG is a solutions business. We do more than selling petrol and diesel. We find logistical and credit solutions for our clients and innovate using technology to assist them to keep abreast of the 4th Industrial Revolution." Sustainability in terms of people and the environment are very important for James. He walks his talk. The WBG offices are being turned green through eco-friendly projects and will be taken off the grid. WBG provides skills to people, especially in rural areas, and have started a NGO, Team SA First. James' parents inspired him, and later on, his in-laws too. He has been married to Michelle for 28 years and he credits her for inspiration and balance. They are the proud parents of a son and two daughters. He says their children have shown him an alternative model of the world, which made him more aware of plastic and other environmental problems. They inspire him to live and operate in a sustainable way. In his free time swimming in the sea helps him relax and stay energised, and he loves listening to almost any type of music.
