Preferred employer to over 24 000 personnel, our people and their development are at the centre of what we do. To this end, our state-of-theart, one-of-a-kind SASSETA registered training academy, Gijima, has the ability to house over 300 students for extended periods. The practical and theoretical training is of exceptional quality and encompasses a range of training programmes and disciplines.

Our divisions

Our business is organised into seven specialised divisions, which are all headed up by their own managing executive and come with dedicated resources. These business units comprise: Mining, Investigations and Information Gathering, Physical Guarding, Technology Solutions, Niche Markets (which include Aviation, Residential Estates, Precincts and Banking),

Critical Infrastructure, and Specialised Operations and Tactical Services (which include Reaction & Tactical Units, VIP, K9, Crowd Control, and Airwing Support, comprising helicopters and drones). The suite of services offered can be delivered singularly or in a multidisciplined fashion where all services are interdependent on each other for maximum results. We often operate in highly complex and volatile environments and therefore provide our services in a compliant, responsible manner, always putting safety first. We are agile and customer-centric, and will always strive to understand our customer’s needs, in order to deliver on their budget.

Investing in SA

Bidvest and its subsidiaries have a solid track record of investing in various socioeconomic initiatives. In the 2022 financial year, Bidvest invested R51 million in various socio-economic development initiatives that are mainly aimed at education and health. We deliberately direct our efforts and resources by identifying priority areas that will benefit society and the country at large. In addition to investing in the communities in which we operate, we believe that the development of sustainable small businesses is the key to sustained economic growth in the country. To this end, the Bidvest Group Supplier Diversity Programme is targeted at 100% black-owned businesses that provide services and products in support of core functions across our respective subsidiaries. At this stage, 47 participants are benefiting from this programme across the provinces of Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
