Notes on the Publication

Action is the foundational key to all success. (Pablo Picasso)

Business success does not just happen; success requires careful planning and much sustained action. This premise could not be more relevant than in the 21st Century. Currently business success is not only measured by the public’s support for a brand or the financial performance of a company. Companies are now required to be accountable over a range of activities and build a culture of sustainability. This means adopting business strategies that meet the needs of the enterprise and its stakeholders while protecting, sustaining and enhancing the human and natural resources that will be needed in the future.

The companies featured in the KwaZulu-Natal Top Business Portfolio are doing things right and we are proud to acknowledge each of their successes.

The KwaZulu-Natal Top Business Portfolio is produced in a printed form, on a multimedia interactive DVD and a website. In order to ensure that comprehensive information on KwaZulu-Natal is made available, our DVD and web site has additional material to the book. Sections such as features, infrastructure, and a more in-depth discussion of the economy and profiles of the local municipalities in the province are included. Apart from video material, a range of links to relevant websites are provided. The website is regularly updates with news and investment opportunities and we are very proud of our high internet ranking in most search engines. So please visit http://www.kzntopbusiness.co.za.

The publishers wishes to thank all those who have advertised, and who have contributed information and visual material, as well as those who have assisted in putting together this 2010 Portfolio.
