Our current focus is on the rescue, rehabilitation and turnaround of niche manufacturing businesses (survive to thrive). These businesses reflect a strategy of partnering the founding shareholders and embarking on a turnaround journey that recognises and appreciates those qualities the original founders obviously have. After four years, the philosophy shows merit, as all our businesses are thriving despite considerable macro economic challenges. Without exception we managed to emerge from the first waver of COVID as better, stronger businesses..Wolf is now an ISO 9001:2015 quality managed business and renowned first and foremost for its specialist earth-moving bucket fabrication & repair capability. We focus on backhoes and face shovel capacities of up to 20 cubic meters and weighing in excess of 40 tonnes.With the quality of our workmanship, a reputation for delivering on time, and pricing that is highly competitive, we are emerging as a crucial business partner to major mining & construction companies and international earthmoving OEMs.Reliable Pressings provides niche Industrial Pressings solutions across all segments and sectors of the wider manufacturing and industrial economy. There are a number of separate but related lines of business: Bespoke Metal Pressing & Stamping, Hydraulic Deep Drawing. Non Standard Speciality Washer production and finally Die & Tool making services. The formalisation of Disc Spring manufacture and the associated Design and Engineering Services as an independent business unit has driven the 5 fold increase in revenue, whilst remaining head count neutral. Cheng Xin Spring Steel is our exotic metal specialist business, with offices in Singapore. We now have full control of a previous growth constraint. This business sources, advises upon and stocks specialist steels across Southern Africa. The initial focus has been to deal with local supply issues for Spring Steel and we now stock various grades of High Carbon, Alloy & Stainless Steel. from 2mm to 20mm thick plate.SAVI Systems is our cloud based, ERP system with a unique set of business intelligence features aimed at SMEs in the manufacturing, engineering and services sectors that aim to grow and scale their business.

Group Schemes RemediationMutual & Federal Jan 2014 - Oct 2014Johannesburg Area, South AfricaGroup Schemes is one of the three business lines in M&F's Retail Insurance business, and has consistently under-performed. Prior years of benign claims experience hid serious flaws in the business, and the onslaught of horrendous hail and floods formed a perfect storm with the general difficult economic conditions and strong direct competitors. We have reviewed the entire value chain, removed conflict, aligned incentives, exercised pricing discipline, and removed the leakage on every line of our overall income statement. Most importantly, we have focused on our Broker Interactions, our Oversight Model, Data, and portfolio strategies, and elevated the quality of our scheme management meetings to the extent that each schemes income statement can be deconstructed into key operational value tree drivers with deeper insight into how we create and destroy value.This journey has entailed working closely with Brokers (there have been exceptions) and has really been enlightening, and rewarding. I have been blown away at how loss ratios in excess of 90% have been reduced to less that 65% with policy counts growing. I wish I could mention these schemes by name here! Critically, we now understand our business properly, where previously I doubted even policy counts! I have many people to thank within M&F itself, in particular the pricing actuaries in Fourie's team, the RSM under Louw, David in Finance, Anesh in Claims, Sujeeth for his support and Hannes for his comraderie and fights with me on the 20th!The GS Account Managers have warmed my heart as they took ownership of the new business model and its increased demands. Two of them, who I will not name here, for fear of poaching, have won my deepest respect and admiration. Lastly, my boss Coenraad, who gave me and the team complete freedom to do as we required and always was available for a robust discussion. Thank you for granting me my wish.We have started to win key battles, but have not won the war..yet! -
Head Of Strategic ChangeMutual & Federal May 2011 - Dec 2013Yet again I find myself in a privileged position here at Mutual & Federal. I am working with some exceptional people. In the past I've been very fortunate to have worked with some fantastic people, across the world, on challenging projects in stimulating environments across a wide range of industries, and consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world to be doing what I am currently doing - applying all those learnings in a meaningful way.I now work at Mutual & federal in the Change team and we do a lot of strategy implementation on Operating and Customer Interaction Models, across an ambitious Change Programme. I am surrounded by some of the most engaged and passionate people I have ever met. It's now the second time that I am experiencing true passion in people who work with passion and purpose. They recognize the importance of Insurance to our economy and the huge responsibility we have to our communities. Why and how you might ask with a cynical smile?Because each of us in the team realises that for our children to grow up in South Africa with equality, dignity and opportunity, then Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs MUST be supported in every possible way - they are the life and soul of a thriving economy, and it is our duty to "Remove their Perspiration, help achieve their Aspirations and Build a Nation!"The route to eradicating poverty and its associated ills of violence and unemployment, we believe, is primarily through the stimulation of the economy through Small Businesses.
