PUBLISHER’S LETTER

Open for business

“The financial sector continues to show high levels of business confidence, which will inspire an increase of economic activity in the region.”

Having lived in the Western Cape for 22 years, it impresses me that most visitors I speak to comment on the clean, vibrant energy of Cape Town. Some of the main leaders in South African corporate business reside here with their families but commute to Johannesburg during the week. It is obviously a safe and beautiful place to live and work. We have wonderful restaurants and shops, no doubt due to our exciting cosmopolitan lifestyle.

With undoubtedly, the most well-run municipalities in South Africa and job creation being a very high priority for the country, the Western Cape is one of two provinces that had positive growth in job

The Western Cape has world-class sporting, cultural and conferencing events that are always showcasing the region as a unique and organised destination.

Education is a major benefit with the highest pass rate in the country among matriculants, and arguably some of the best schools and universities in the country.

The political will to be a green region will pay dividends into the future with our children’s children benefiting from the excellent renewable energy projects supported in the region. The main challenges facing the region is to defeat poverty, with housing and sanitation projects currently underway.

The region boasts a well-respected entrepreneurial community that works hard on fighting some of the many challenges South Africa face.

The Western Cape seems to be on a major growth trajectory – and now, more than ever, investment in the province is sure to bear fruit.

creation in 2011. The political leadership in the region has already received numerous international awards, testament to the positive international sentiment to the region.

As Africa opens up to the rest of the world, the Western Cape is becoming more desirable as a base for transcontinental industries.

With the world-class airport in Cape Town, access to the rest of Africa is opening up with new flights from Cape Town increasing steadily.

With improvements in transport infrastructure, congestion and parking in the Central Business District are being contained, while getting goods to other regions of the continent is being improved all the time.

The financial sector continues to show high levels of business confidence, which will inspire an increase of economic activity in the region.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Enhancing business

“Business tourism remains one of the major economic drivers in the City of Cape Town.”

With its sprawling wine estates, mountain ranges and rugged coastline, the Western Cape is not only a popular leisure tourism destination, but economically one of the best performing provinces in South Africa.

Innovation is the buzzword, with the establishment of the Silicon Cape Initiative, which offers role-players in the local internet industry a vision and mandate of making the Western Cape an attractive location for start-ups and companies in the global market. The establishment of the Silicon Cape Initiative places the province in the ideal position to benefit from the growth of innovative mobile products, businesses and services. Read more about the initiative on page 76.

Cape Town and the Western Cape are leading the country in tackling climate change and environmental issues. At the Local Climate Solutions for Africa 2011 conference, the City of Cape Town was hailed as a visionary city willing to commit and publicly register its greenhouse gas reduction objectives, report on its performance and showcase its climate actions. This commitment is evident in the town of Darling, 70km north of Cape Town, boasting South Africa’s first commercial wind farm. Read more about the Western Cape’s sustainability solutions on page 86.

by participating in a study to measure the travelling time between the main hotels in the city and their nearest MyCiTi bus stops.

This information will be utilised to market Cape Town as part of a marketing drive, which will have positive benefits for not only the City, but the province as a whole.

The effectiveness of business tourism marketing is evident in the success of the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), located in the business hub of Cape Town. The CTICC’s success has lead to the Centre winning the African Access National Business Award in the Business Tourism category. This Award recognises companies that have made a significant impact on enhancing business tourism in South Africa. Their success has lead to the CTICC, the City of Cape Town and the Provincial Government of the Western Cape announcing in March 2011 that funding has been secured to expand the CTICC towards the east. The expansion of the Convention Centre will include 10 000 square metres of retail space, a hospital, an office tower, numerous basement parking bays, as well as the regeneration of Founder’s Garden, which will connect the Artscape precinct with the new, larger CTICC. The planned expansion and other urban regeneration projects planned for Cape Town’s Central Business District is set to enhance the City’s reputation as a globally competitive business destination and contribute to major job creation in the City and the Western Cape province.

WESGRO

NILS FLAATTEN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of WESGRO

“Wesgro is at the forefront of its game using innovative methods and technology to get its message across. Our strategic approach is an indication of our commitment to the Western CApe.”

The Western Cape today is a place full of diversity, life and growth, with an optimism that stems from the breathtaking surroundings of the City of Cape Town. More importantly, business leaders and key organisations in the Province believe it holds the key to the Gateway into Africa.

Ultimately, the investment potential of the Western Cape will be driven by strategic companies that are committed to ensuring they drive business growth and entrepreneurship. The Cape’s strengths in innovation, creativity and passion are the foundation for businesses to develop and implement investment and export strategies.

One way that Wesgro helps the Western Cape companies is with the implementation of the Export Development Programme (EDP). The aim of the EDP is to create an environment that is supportive and developmental in nature which will enable emerging Western Cape exporters to gain access into international markets and opportunities which in turn will contribute to the development of the Western Cape economy.

It also assists emerging exporters to overcome barriers and constraints in accessing the global market and business opportunities by identifying their export needs and then addressing them through training and development with the focus of growth in exports.

With that said, Wesgro is at the forefront of its game using innovative methods and technology to get its message across. Our strategy is an indication of our commitment to the people of this region and how best we can service their needs.

Over a 10-year period from 1999 to 2009, Cape Town’s economy has shown consistent growth in the finance and business services sector and in the wholesale and retail trade sector. The overall Western Cape economy has been growing steadily during this period – to an average rate of 4.1 percent in 2008. This is higher than the national average (3.7 percent) at the same period, and the province has continually outperformed the national average over this period. Cape Town and the Western Cape needs to see this growth and South Africa’s strategic regional role as an opportunity, and take advantage of it to become a recognised global base camp for companies moving into Africa, before other major cities across the continent take our place.

Numerous Western-Cape based companies such as Shoprite Checkers and Engen have already used their well-established base to expand in the rest of the continent.

This investment naturally generates investment in banking and financial services as their support base follows them.

In the period 2000 to 2010, growth in the real output of the financial, real estate and business services sector grew by 5.3 percent, indicating that the sector is becoming an increasingly important contributor to the local economy. The Western Cape real estate market is considered one of the most buoyant, mainly due to favourable market conditions and foreign investors. Services now account for over two thirds of the Province’s economy, with manufacturing expected to make a significant comeback over the next five years. FDI Intelligence reports that foreign investment in manufacturing is expected to be the key growth driver for developing economies. Both of these sectors fall within the national government’s plans to ensure that decent work is created for an additional 5 million people by 2020. With a complimentary balance across the sector spread, the Western Cape is well-placed to become the destination of choice for both foreign and domestic investors looking for opportunities to grow their business.

Ultimately, the investment potential of the Western Cape will be driven by strategic companies that are committed to ensuring they drive business growth and entrepreneurship. Our strengths in innovation, creativity and passion are the foundation for businesses to develop and implement investment and export strategies. With consumer spend on the African continent expected to increase from $860-billion in 2008 to $1.4-trillion in 2020, the opportunities for these strategies are numerous.

The global business environment has changed, heralding a new era that will see Western Cape-based businesses take hold of and own new opportunities that will contribute to profitability and sustainability.

STEPHAN CLAASSEN PROVINCIAL CHAIRMAN OF FNB

“FNB is honoured to be part of the Top300 Western Cape publication, an invaluable handbook for anyone wishing to do business, invest or visit the Western Cape.”

FNB is honoured to be part of the Top300 Western Cape publication, an invaluable handbook for anyone wishing to do business, invest or visit the Western Cape.

The growth curve in the province has certainly started to lift this year, and we foresee exciting business opportunities for the year ahead.

Foreign investors from different industries are increasingly looking towards the Cape as their preferred investment destination. This includes some very wellknown brands and some of the world’s fastest growing companies.

We often underestimate our competitiveness against other regions of the world. The Western Cape has all the right capabilities to market itself to an international audience looking for exciting projects in Africa. There is no reason why we cannot play in the league of other destinations like Mumbai, Barcelona or Shanghai.

FNB is working with various stakeholders such as the Provincial Government, Wesgro, Accelerate Cape Town and others towards a common goal – that of stimulating and supporting the Western Cape’s growth.

We want to facilitate this by assisting local entrepreneurs to expand their businesses and by using our networks in South Africa and around the world to attract local and foreign investors. We see this as an integral part of our vision – which is to be a great company, helping to create a better world.

May this publication help us to be proud about what our country and our province has to offer, and to be passionate about its growth and its future.

CAPE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

VIOLA MANUEL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CAPE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

“Despite the less than perfect economic climate, The Western Cape has shown GDP growth consistently higher than the national average.”

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

viola-WC-forward.indd 2

When Dickens penned his famous line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” in his A Tale of Two Cities, he may well have been summing up the past year.

We have experienced an immense sense of unity and pride after our outstanding performance as a host city for the FIFA 2010 World Cup™. We have also witnessed many businesses continue to struggle out of the financial mire left in the wake of the sub-prime crisis.

But the people in the Western Cape are nothing if not resilient. There is seldom a week that goes by when we don’t encounter a member company who has not only found a way to weather the global economic storm, but seized the opportunity to re-invent themselves, create a new service or product, or in some way innovate.

It is the nature of the people in this region to be enthusiastically creative and this is translating into a rather optimistic financial outlook for the region in general.

Our partners at Wesgro recently shared some of their economic data which encapsulates this optimism.

Despite the less than perfect economic climate, the Western Cape has shown GDP growth consistently higher than the national average. We also outperform the other provinces, including our inland cousin, Gauteng, in the average annual GDP growth rate between 2002 and 2009.

More important than these statistics though is some of the on-the-ground evidence we are seeing of companies who are genuinely looking to foster and monetise innovation.

The Cape Chamber of Commerce & Industry constantly strives to recognise this innovation and through annual awards such as our Exporter of the Year and our branch networks’ Excellence Awards, we highlight the achievements of our members.

This year, innovation will be a central theme, and we are working with the UCT Graduate School of Business to ensure we encapsulate the essence of true innovation.

A key challenge for the Western Cape is the lack of cohesion between public and private sectors, academia, NGOs and organised business. If growth and innovation are to be fostered in our local economy, we need to find commonalities around which we can unite.

Issues such as job creation, skills development, stamping out corruption at every level, and fostering and nurturing an enabling business environment are key pillars in many organisations. Yet we often find ourselves working in isolation. The time has come for meaningful collaboration, for setting aside our differences and finding ways we can support each other and focus on delivery.

We also need to set aside our parochial outlook and realise that the Western Cape has a real ability to market itself as the gateway into Africa. The tourism industry has been successful in this regard, but it is time for business in the region to find ways to make the Western Cape appealing to a more global audience.

Over the next year the Cape Chamber of Commerce will be driving a Pan African agenda. We will be actively and aggressively finding ways to make the Western Cape the first port of call for global businesses looking to expand their African footprint. For this to succeed, we will need the support of all stakeholders, both public and private.

Publications like Top300 Western Cape are therefore key to profiling the region and the many opportunities open to businesses.

We are delighted to be associated with the publication again this year and we are certain that you will find it both valuable and entertaining.

From the moment the Dutch East India Trading Company sponsored its first settlement in the Western Cape, this region has been regarded as a gateway to Africa.

Today the area is a thriving hub for many economic sectors, including education.

The Western Cape has attracted four public universities: Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), Stellenbosch University (SU), the University of Cape Town (UCT), and the University of the Western Cape (UWC); and six Further Education and Training colleges. These are not ivory towers but places where academics and researchers can meet with business, government and surrounding communities, and partner with business to develop relevant solutions to the problems of Africa and the rest of the world. They draw thousands of international students each year, from the rest of Africa as well as overseas.

For instance, one-third of post-graduate students at the University of Cape Town are international. As a result, the Western Cape is now a gateway for African knowledge that can serve global markets. As a result of this concentration, the province is well-endowed with high-level, skilled personnel who are equipped for technical and managerial positions in companies with a global outlook.

There are also plenty of opportunities for research partnerships, such as these recent examples: • PetroSA is sponsoring the establishment of a Synthetic Fuels Research Facility at UWC, including a laboratory to study the conversion of olefins to distillate – an essential part of the intricate gas-to-liquids process.

• SU’s Department of Process Engineering is working with platinum miners Anglo Platinum and Lonmin on process development modeling, measurement and control.

• Airbus is working with researchers in UCT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering to see if flying in formation, as birds do, could be applied to the long distance flight of airliners, to reduce fuel burn and emissions.

• The national Department of Science and Technology is funding the HySA Systems Laboratories at UWC – a Centre of Competence for technology validation

and systems integration in hydrogen and fuel cell technology.

• SU and the Drakenstein Municipality have launched an initiative to promote sustainable community development through research partnerships in agricultural development, food security, rural development, waste water treatment, waste management, biofuels, SMME development and entrepreneurship skills.

• The UCT Samsung Mobile Innovation Laboratory aims to develop innovative mobile phone applications in response to unique African needs.

• And UCT has just launched the Centre for Drug Discovery & Development, to help create a holistic value chain in Africa between basic research and the clinical studies, where new drugs, particularly from local medicinal plants, are discovered, developed and tested.

Academic research influences government policy to assist development and improve the way people live. Researchers from different institutions collaborate in programmes like the Centres of Excellence, funded by the Department of Science & Technology.

Six Centres of Excellence involve university partners in the Western Cape: • Birds as keys to biodiversity conservation • Catalysis • Epidemiological modeling and analysis • Invasion biology • Biomedical TB Research • Climate and Earth Systems Such partnerships help the higher education sector to train graduates and new academics in solving real problems. They help give the Western Cape a creative edge for successful business – investment opportunities like the ones you will read about in this edition of Top300.

We pay homage to the work of the Top300 Western Cape publication in their endeavour to bring to the fore the opportunities and successes of business in the Western Cape region. Keep it up!

Top300 Western Cape – Research Criteria

The criteria for appearing in Top300 Western Cape were developed in partnership with the Cape Chamber of Commerce, the Western Cape Provincial Government, Accelerate and Wesgro.

Topco Media’s internal research department vetted a list of over 7 000 companies within the Western Cape and then focused extensive research on the resulting top 1 000.

In drawing up the criteria, cognisance was taken of the fact that the Western Cape is home to roughly 10 percent of South Africa’s population, contributes almost 15 percent of national output and attracts over 16 percent of the country’s foreign direct investment.

This stage of research resulted in a list of 350 companies, excluding parastatals, government agencies and structures, which was sent to our partners for final adjudication based on our criteria, to produce the final list, representing the Top 300 companies in the Western Cape.

A

The final criteria were drawn up and agreed upon between our partners, and included: • National turnover • Western Cape turnover as a percentage of national turnover or at least 20 percent of total national revenue • Number of employees in the Western Cape: at least 100 employees or 20 percent of total national workforce • Head office location and number of satellite offices in the Western Cape • Percentage of income from exports • Planned revenue growth over the next five years • Planned staff increase over the next five years • Peer consensus through feedback on top five competitors

Nedbank Retail Banking - offering a diverse range of products and services that are tailored to your needs. Whatever your lifestyle we have the solution.

Nedbank Retail is a well established and respected bank, offering diverse and tailored individual banking including Retail Relationship Banking (incorporating Private Banking and Small Business Services), Wealth, Financial Planning and Global Banking divisions.

“Over the past year Nedbank has continued to show commitment through growth in the Western Cape by creating synergies between Retail Banking and Business Banking. Our respected established product offering and services is constantly being complemented by innovative new offerings that are tailored to our client’s needs,” says Pedro Rhode, Regional General Manager, Retail Branch Network.

“We understand our client’s operating environment which has enabled us to deliver new services quickly and efficiently within the Province.

A key focus for us is our strong relations with government, organised business and our communities.”

This has seen us embark on an aggressive growth strategy within the Western Cape, through an unprecedented investment in increasing our points of presence especially through new branches and branch refurbishments, which provides a platform for us to deliver world-class service to our clients.

Excellent customer service is a definite focus in our business and is key to our future success through delivering on our AskOnce promise.

We have embarked on further growth strategies through the effective channelling of resources to the Western Cape’s traditional banking channels such as additional ATM’s and Branches, with exponential growth occurring in virtual channels through self service banking which supports internet banking, cell phone banking and cash withdrawals at over 1 900 Pick n Pay till points. The take-up of m-pesa in South Africa through our partnership with Vodacom is important and will further drive efforts to provide banking solutions to a large unbanked population which is key to our vision of being Africa’s Most Admired Bank.

Our unique banking solutions include Extended Banking Hours until 6 pm Mondays to Fridays and Sunday Trading from 10 am to 2 pm at selected branches across the region. Entry Level Banking (ELB) is all about educating previously unbanked clients on financial fitness by being more clever about their Transactional Banking, saving for the times when money is needed most and to build up a relationship of trust for when they need financial assistance or need to provide financial assistance to their dependents.

It also includes Affinity products, which over the past 20 years have made donations to causes and charities of a client’s choice. We pride ourselves on being Africa’s Green bank and in 2010 achieved Carbon Neutrality partly through changes embraced by our clients.
