Our vision is to see our unemployed learners get promotedMcLennan & Associates Pty Ltd t/a Bconsult Our vision is to see our unemployed learners get promotedPRACTICAL, TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING In the South African economy, where skills development and empowerment are no longer optional but fundamental to sustainable business growth and national progress, one company has consistently stood out as a champion of practical, transformative learning: Bconsult. With a strong focus on accredited learnerships, skills programmes and B-BBEE strategy, Bconsult has become a trusted partner for organisations seeking not only compliance with national skills development standards but also meaningful workforce development that delivers measurable impact. At the heart of Bconsult’s vision is the belief that learning must be accessible, strategic and closely aligned with real workplace outcomes. Since its inception, the company has worked to demystify the complexities of South Africa’s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) scorecard, providing hands-on solutions that enable businesses to convert legislative requirements into long-term value. Operating nationally across Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, Bconsult supports organisations of varying sizes and sectors with complete, end-to-end training and empowerment solutions. Bconsult’s service offering spans accredited learnerships and skills programmes certified by multiple sector education and training authorities (SETA), employment equity training and compliance support, B-BBEE consulting, learner recruitment and hosting, as well as e-learning and blended learning solutions. These services are designed to strengthen organisational capability while ensuring full statutory compliance, allowing clients to optimise skills development spend, access SETA grants and tax incentives, and improve productivity at the same time. Vision and Drive Central to Bconsult’s growth is its leader, Tracey McLennan, the founder and chief executive officer, whose vision and drive have shaped the company into an influential force within South Africa’s skills development landscape. McLennan is widely recognised as a B-BBEE skills development consultant and business leader turned entrepreneur. As chief executive of Bconsult, and through her involvement in her associated ventures Right Side Media and LookupSA, she continues to advocate for skills development as both an economic imperative and a powerful catalyst for personal and professional transformation. Under McLennan’s leadership, Bconsult has earned a reputation for delivering training and consulting solutions that are compliant, practical and accessible. Her approach reflects a deep commitment to education as a tool for real change rather than a box-ticking exercise. By championing accredited learnerships aligned to SETA and National Qualifications Framework (NQF) standards, she has enabled organisations to translate training investment into tangible gains in workforce capability, empowerment outcomes and long-term sustainability. Comprehensive Solutions Bconsult’s journey began with a focus on nonaccredited training and B-BBEE consultation. As the company evolved, it strategically expanded into accredited training, recognising its greater potential to unlock economic opportunity for both businesses and individuals. This shift allowed Bconsult to deliver stronger outcomes for small and medium enterprises as well as larger corporates, helping them meet regulatory requirements while maximising B-BBEE points through carefully structured skills development strategies. What sets Bconsult apart is its holistic approach. Rather than focusing narrowly on compliance, the company offers complete training solutions that begin with understanding a client’s specific needs and conclude with measurable, reportable results. These include employment equity planning and submissions, workplace skills plans with a strong approval record, learner recruitment including unemployed and disabled learners, hosted learnerships, and guidance on leveraging tax concessions and SETA funding. For clients, this translates into enhanced competitiveness, improved employee performance and alignment with broader socioeconomic development goals. Bconsult’s learnership portfolio covers a wide range of industries and occupational categories, including advocate for skills development as both an economic imperative and a powerful catalyst for personal and professional transformation.

Bconsult’s learnership portfolio covers a wide range of industries and occupational categories, including business administration, contact centre operations, wholesale and retail, manufacturing, supply chain management, ICT, banking and hospitality. Programmes blend structured learning with practical workplace experience, ensuring that participants gain nationally recognised qualifications while contributing productively within their organisations. These outcomes support both skills development and employment equity scorecards, driving meaningful and sustainable progress. Empowering Unemployed Youth A significant focus of the organisation is the empowerment of unemployed youth through learnerships that combine formal qualifications with critical workplace exposure. This integrated approach significantly enhances employability in a highly competitive job market. Learners emerge with recognised NQF aligned credentials, practical experience and renewed confidence in their professional abilities. In a moment that captures this ethos, McLennan addressed a graduating class of Bconsult’s wholesale and retail learners, encouraging them to see their certificates as a foundation for ambition rather than an endpoint. “With the wholesale and retail certificate, you can be anything in the world,” she told them, reinforcing the idea that skills development opens doors far beyond immediate employment. This commitment to empowerment is echoed in Bconsult’s internal culture and client feedback. Organisations consistently cite the company’s professionalism, industry expertise and personalised service. Clients describe Bconsult not merely as a service provider, but as a partner invested in the success of each project and each learner. Inclusive Education Looking ahead, Bconsult continues to adapt to the changing world of work through technology-enabled and flexible learning models. Its growing e-learning and blended learning platforms offer 24 hour access to training resources, supporting inclusive education and accommodating diverse learner needs.CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: Unit 15, Kingfisher Park 2. 28/30 Siphosethu Road, Mount Edgecombe, Block 5, Durban Tel: +27 (0)31 536 8167 / 8467 E-mail: tracey@bconsult.co.za Website: www.bconsult.co.zaCONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: Unit 15, Kingfisher Park 2. 28/30 Siphosethu Road, Mount Edgecombe, Block 5, Durban Tel: +27 (0)31 536 8167 / 8467 E-mail: tracey@bconsult.co.za Website: www.bconsult.co.za Up Home Up McLennan & Associates Pty Ltd t/a Bconsult Latest News CEO: Tracey McLennan Leaders Profile PRACTICAL, TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING In the South African economy, where skills development and empowerment are no longer optional but fundamental to sustainable business growth and national progress, one company has consistently stood out as a champion of practical, transformative learning: Bconsult.

< Back Melanie Veness

< Back Firdose Abdool Razak-Moola Founder and Director of KZN Advisory Centre Firdose Abdool Razak-Moola is the founder and director of KZN Advisory Centre and the face of the organisation. “We provide counselling, support, assessments and therapy to all ages, genders and groups,” she explains warmly. “As a mental health practitioner, social worker in private practice, play therapist, family therapist and life coach, Firdose has made it her mission to create a safe and professional space for individuals and families to find balance, understanding and growth. She explains, “We aim to support people wherever they are in their life journey.” SHAPED BY EXPERIENCE Firdose’s journey into leadership began early in her career. “I reached a management role at about the age of 27,” she recalls. “From there I became an executive director of a non-profit organisation, and then I knew it was time to open my own private practice.” Today, that practice has grown into a respected centre that serves the KwaZulu-Natal community and beyond. Firdose’s work at KZN Advisory Centre often involves delicate and emotionally charged cases. “We work with a lot of divorce matters, contact disputes and child assessments,” she explains. “Our goal is to ensure that every decision and recommendation is made in the best interest of the child, always taking into account mental capacity and their psychosocial emotional wellbeing.” While her current focus lies in therapy and assessment, Firdose’s long-term dream is far more expansive. “I would love to see an umbrella body for my company that brings together psychologists, lawyers, advocates, social workers and mental health practitioners,” she shares. “Right now, everyone is scattered in private practice. I want to create a medical centre where clients can find all services under one roof, under the KZN Advisory Centre (KZNAC). That is my vision." What inspires her most, however, is not awards or accolades but the people she meets along the way. “It may sound a little clichéd, but it really is the people I meet – my support system, my family, my husband, my friends and colleagues and of course, the Almighty. Inspiration comes in many forms. The gratitude you receive from others teaches you every day.” A LEGACY OF SERVICE Firdose’s humility belies a string of impressive achievements. “I have been honoured with several recognitions over the years,” she admits. “I received the KZN Woman of Wonder Award, the SA Heroine Awards twice in a row, and I was listed in the 40 Under 40. Her company also recently was awarded the second-best therapy centre in KwaZulu-Natal for 2025. Each accolade is meaningful, but Firdose insists that the real reward lies in community impact. “The best part is knowing that people out there are the ones nominating and recognising you. It tells me I am doing something right, that I am creating hope.” The people she serves often face immense personal challenges. “Many wear masks,” she says. “You do not always know what someone is going through. A simple act of kindness, a smile, can change a person’s life.” This empathy is deeply personal. Firdose lives with systemic lupus erythematosus, a chronic autoimmune condition that she has managed for over 25 years. “If you look at me, you might not realise I have lupus,” she reflects. “I always explain it as my body having a party that I am not invited to. I do not see it as a challenge. I see the condition as something to overcome. You have to listen to your body and respect its limits. If I am tired, I pause, reflect and then get going again.” Her resilience and perseverance, she believes, is what makes her a better practitioner and leader. “Stress is a huge factor in health, and I teach others what I practise myself. Firdose added, “Balance, mindfulness and gratitude are essential in sustaining both mental and physical wellbeing.” BALANCE AND PURPOSE As work-life balance is essential for Firdose she makes time to unwind in simple ways such as reading, enjoying a cappuccino or indulging in a favourite treat. “If you ever see me eating waffles or donuts, you will know I am having one of those days,” she laughs. “Comfort food and solitude help me reset.” She also cherishes family time and moments of stillness. “I enjoy spa days and quiet evenings. You have to find that ‘me time’ to reflect and refocus. When I leave work, I leave it at work. Boundaries are crucial if you want to keep moving forward.” This sense of balance feeds into her philosophy of living with gratitude. “You need to practise contentment,” she says. “Whether your cup is half empty or half full, the real joy lies in being grateful that you have a cup and you can always refill it.” Firdose’s message to young people is one of confidence. “The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Women are taking on more leadership roles than ever before. My advice is simple. Do not say no to opportunities. Give it your best shot. Be the person that you see yourself. Don’t let anybody put you down and face your fears, that’s most important.” She often tells her clients and mentees not to be overwhelmed by the big picture. “Do not look at the whole staircase. Take it one step at a time. Pause, breathe, and before you know it, you will reach the top.” Firdose added, “We all need to lift each other up.” She says, “It is not a race. We should form a sisterhood, a community that supports one another. Everyone is fighting a battle you cannot see, so practice kindness. A small act can have a profound effect.” At the heart of Firdose’s message lies a profound belief in the power of compassion. “Be kind, be content and have faith, be resilient and persevere.” She concludes, “Surround yourself with good people, whether they are family, friends or mentors, because success is never a solo journey. It is built on the love and encouragement of those who walk beside you." Previous Next

Historically a family-owned business, Beier Group’s leadership has transitioned through generations, beginning with the late Chairman Emeritus, Hans Heindrich Beier, who joined the business in 1962, and later became the CEO, until his son Wolfgang Beier took over the reins as CEO from 2000 to 2024. Wolfgang Beier guided the business through significant transformation, including changes in ownership structure and strategic direction. A defining moment in the Group’s history came with the appointment of Warren Sachs as its first non-family CEO. Having worked closely with the previous leaders for over two decades, Sachs brings continuity alongside a fresh perspective, signalling a new era of growth and modernisation. He is championed by the Board of Directors, and is supported by a dynamic executive team across the different operational plants and regions. Together, the various teams and leaders represent a blend of experience, innovation and strategic vision.
