Your team thinks innovatively, looking for solutions that can fit the client, rather than a one-size fits all solution. Thank you for your contribution to our SD program and our BBBEE journey in general. Your expertise and experience in the field of BBBEE and Supplier Development, as well as working with small businesses, is evident!
“To date we have recruited more than 40 businesses and have made a huge impact in the growth of our economy. I am proud to be associated with such an amazing organisation and team who is passionate about the work they do.”
We know the 6 beneficiaries we added to our loan program in the last 2 years are safe and well supported in the Aurik program. We already see how these small businesses are growing when we interact with their management teams during the year. They can now better articulate their needs and requirements, and sell their businesses more effectively to Kimberley Clark.
“On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Aurik 10. That’s the level of satisfaction we had with the Aurik Coordinators and Facilitators. Thanks to the Aurik Programme we contracted 18 SMEs from the local area, and that has created employment for 53 people.”
