good news comes in threes

The first quarter has ended on a positive note for South Africans, signalling the potential for brighter economic prospects in the months ahead. As of April 17, Eskom marked 21 days without loadshedding, something that the country has not witnessed in two years. It is often said that it takes 21 days to break a habit, but is it safe for us to say that our loadshedding woes are a thing of the past? Coincidently, as of March, the inflation rate dropped to 5.3% from 5.6% in February. The Repo Rate remained unchanged in March. As we anticipated an even better second quarter, DIY & Industrial Trade News continues to keep you informed with the current industry news, events and features. In this issue, we provide expert tips on how to curb water shedding.

Innovative Builders offer inspiring paint solutions for pantone’s Colour of the Year

In the wake of Pantone’s announcement of Peach Fuzz as the 2024 Colour of the Year, a leading retail DIY and décor brand has extended a warm invitation to all customers to dive into the vibrant possibilities of the soft and muted tones of Peach Fuzz. This can be seen as a response to the need for soothing and uplifting elements in design, mirroring a broader societal desire for tranquillity and positivity.

“The choice of Peach Fuzz as the Pantone colour of the year for 2024 reflects a current design trend towards warmth, comfort, and optimism. While colour trends can be ephemeral, Peach Fuzz’s timeless and versatile nature suggests that it could have a lasting impact in design beyond the current year. Its neutral and adaptable quality

makes it well-suited for various applications, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into different design aesthetics,” says national paint buyer at Builders, Johanita Corbett.

DIY and home décor enthusiasts looking to incorporate Peach Fuzz into their revamps or updates, Corbett suggests they consider using it as a primary colour for walls,

furniture, or accent pieces. The colour pairs well with neutrals, such as whites and greys, available as part of the Builders Fired Earth range, known for its distinctive and exquisitely crafted paints, delivering on a premium and diverse selection for customer design needs.

“Fired Earth stands out in the market for its commitment to quality, innovation, and a wide range of unique colour offerings that can be seamlessly complemented by natural materials like wood or stone for a harmonious look. Experimenting with textiles, artwork and decor in Peach Fuzz can also provide a subtle yet impactful touch,” adds Corbett.

Fired Earth’s products are useful for a broad spectrum of customers, including homeowners, interior designers, architects, and anyone with an appreciation for highquality and unique design elements. The brand caters to individuals seeking premium, long-lasting solutions for their homes or commercial spaces coming with a 10-year guarantee on products. This is a crucial assurance that instils trust in the quality of the paint and provides peace of mind that the investment will stand the test of time.

There are several ways in which customers can activate their #DoDay and incorporate Peach Fuzz to transform their spaces to create the ambience they are looking for.

According to Corbett, some of these are:

• Incorporating Peach Fuzz as a striking feature wall to add warmth and vibrancy to a room. This bold choice serves to highlight the focal point of the room and instantly updates a space with a modern touch.

• Customers can subtly introduce touches of Peach Fuzz through accent furniture pieces such as chairs, cushions, or throws to infuse the space with the colour trend while allowing for easy updates or changes in the future.

• Another way to use Peach Fuzz in a room is with soft furnishings like curtains, rugs, or bedding to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. These textiles effortlessly tie the room together while adding a touch of sophistication.

• Customers are encouraged to experiment with colour blocking techniques by painting different sections of the room in Peach Fuzz and coordinating colours. For example, they could paint the lower half of the walls in Peach Fuzz and the upper

half in a soft cream or beige. Alternatively, one could use Peach Fuzz on one side of the room and a contrasting colour on the opposite side to create visual interest and balance. Colour blocking allows you to play with colour combinations and create a dynamic and modern look in the space.

To ensure that you get the most out of your Peach Fuzz, you can add Colour burst in Traquil from Fired Earth to instantly tint your colours and discover variations of shades to add variety to your space or room. All DIY enthusiasts are encouraged to explore the vibrant world of paint solutions at Builders and transform their spaces to reflect their style and imagination.

“Based on the choice of Peach Fuzz, we might anticipate a surge in popularity for complementary colours and palettes that evoke a sense of calm and sophistication. Earthy tones, muted pastels, and natural colour combinations could see increased use in interior design, fashion, and graphic design,” concludes Corbet.

Expert tips

to curb water woes

South Africa has grappled with the dual predicament of enduring prolonged water scarcity nationally, further exacerbated by the persistent energy crisis. Amid these pressing concerns, there’s a vital need for South Africans to prioritise water conservation – whether for personal consumption, household activities, or business operations.

The water crisis in and around the City of Johannesburg has deeply concerned both businesses and residents. The unpredictability of water availability has disrupted the flow of business and daily life to such an extent that some have resorted to seeking alternative solutions to mitigate the inconvenience caused by it.

During the first quarter of 2024, the city has already incurred water outages averaging two days per week. While speculation suggests that maintenance work may be the cause of the outages, the uncertainty and

lack of a proper schedule regarding this has led to a vote of no confidence by residents and businesses. Their concern stems from the belief that the country may have reached a point where it has run out of water, and that water shedding might become a permanent aspect of life, akin to what we have grown accustomed to with electricity.

For most consumers, alternative methods of ensuring regular and consistent water access have become highly sought after. While customers are striving for cost efficiency and ensuring that there is

consistency in the supply of water, various retailers and hardware stores can provide solutions for their customers by stocking up on water conservation products.

WATER CONSERVATION

Expert Tips

Builders, a leading retailer in home improvement and DIY solutions, offers invaluable tips and solutions to empower consumers in their efforts to conserve water and prepare for prolonged water outages in their residential or commercial areas.

Megan Gounden, vice president of merchandise at Builders, underscores the importance of consumer action and preparedness. “It’s crucial for individuals to take proactive steps and be equipped for potential water disruptions in their communities,” he explains.

As a permanent solution and ways to improve homes to make up for any water disruptions, Gouden recommends that some home improvements that can be done to homes can include buying an appropriate tank for the size of the family (assume 150 litres per person

per day), water pump, connector kit, pump cover, applicable fittings and pipe, optional water filtration, either whole house or under counter/counter top. While doing a renovation consumers might also consider installing an energy efficient water heating system like a solar geyser, integrated heat pump or point of use water heaters to save electricity.

Moreover, when including the above to your home, he advises that consumers must make sure that they keep to manufacturers recommendations with regards to things like plinths for the tanks, electrical connections of pumps and plumbing connections. These should be done by qualified tradesmen where a Certificate of Compliance is necessary. Consumers should also make sure they understand the warranty terms of the products. Additionally, consumers may need back-up electricity for the pump to operate

HERE ARE FIVE PRACTICAL STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS THAT CONSUMERS CAN IMPLEMENT TO FULFIL THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND READINESS IN THE FACE OF EXTENDED WATER SHORTAGES:

• Consumers can harvest rainwater with water tanks, these come in a range of sizes and are purpose-built for safely storing water and other liquids

• Understand your region and its water needs – use recycled water for your gardens as well as invest in water saving plants

• Install municipal back-up tanks with a low energy pump, this will ensure you still have water supply during prolonged outages

• Consumers can also use energy efficient water heating solutions such as heat pumps or point of use water heaters which save energy and water around the home, you only heat the water that you use instead of boiling 150 or 200 litres in a geyser

• Use the water tank gauge to know just how much rainwater you have.  Builders offer full turnkey solutions including installation.

during loadshedding. If a filter is installed, the filter cartridges would need changing every six to eight months, depending on water quality. It is advisable to treat the water in the tank from time to time with treatment products and inspect and clean the tank when necessary.

He adds that in the case where water tanks are not integrated into the municipal supply, consumers should rotate the water in the tank on a regular basis and treat it with water treatment products to make sure it stays fresh and safe. This is because water stored for a long time is a hazard.

In a case where consumers are not yet able to integrate permanent solutions to their homes, there are alternative means to deal with abrupt water supply interruptions to ensure that the basic water needs within the house are taken care of.

RETAIL MATTERS

ACCELERATING TRENDS

mastering retail trends for success in 2024

Perhaps the single most effective thing retailers can do in 2024 and beyond is to acknowledge that aspirations and consultative conversations have overtaken reality. If a retailer wishes to take advantage of the latest and greatest trends for this year and next, it would do well to keep its feet firmly planted on the ground while working with a good partner to achieve its technology aspirations, says redPanda Software business development executive Peter Ludi.

What does this mean? We all know that the future is ambient technology that is always on and always ready to make the customer and employee experience better, but which is not intrusive. In this world the omnichannel is dead. Except that we are not in that world yet and most retailers are nowhere near proclaiming they’ve evolved past the omnichannel.

“We need to acknowledge that most organisations are still engaged in the early stages of a nuanced and gradual shift from the omnichannel to a state where ambient technology is live across the retailer’s ecosystem, works and is effective. For this to occur, retailers need a common, clean, curated data set with no silos or Chinese walls. This may sound familiar because it is – this is also the foundation for deploying artificial intelligence (AI) effectively, explains Ludi.”   How does a retailer propel itself into

the future with a firm grasp of reality? It must build a singular purpose and refine its strategy.

SINGULAR PURPOSE

There must be one purpose that spans marketing, brand and culture. This purpose underpins how the retailer engages across various channels. This cannot be overstated: A retailer must be consistent about who it is across the full spectrum of its technology. Is radio-frequency identification appropriate? Is every POC consistent with who you are as a brand? If the brand doesn’t work, then technology won’t fix it. Brand fundamentals must be rock solid before technology investment decisions.

CLARITY OF STRATEGY

Then, one level deeper, a comprehensive introspection of the strategy should answer these questions: What are we

trying to achieve? Do we honestly have a clear grasp of our retail practice? This isn’t an exercise for its own sake, it is an exercise to achieve a state of clarity because agility –and retailers will need plenty of this attribute in the future – only exists in a state of clarity.  An experienced partner will help retailers gain this clarity of purpose so that any technology deployment is based on the retailer’s own goals. Technology that’s deployed effectively considers the customers, enhances verticals and segmentations, is built on the right systems and most importantly, promotes brand value and consistency.

RETAIL MATTERS

ACCELERATING TRENDS

LET’S LOOK AT SOME OF THE TRENDS ALREADY TAKING SHAPE EARLY IN 2024 AND WHICH ARE LIKELY TO ACCELERATE: PRIORITISING AGILITY

This applies to all technology. Retailers cannot afford to work on POCs forever. Pick one or two use cases, partner with specialists, deploy and iterate.

LEVERAGING THE MACHINES

AI and machine learning can have a massive impact on personalisation, if the data is good. Retailers can leverage AI to manage product descriptions and inventory, enhance staff productivity, to enrich search and browse journeys, and much more. There are a host of use cases, both internally and externally, and so getting to the right use case is crucial.

UNIFIED COMMERCE

Retailers need to rewire themselves to be able to integrate various channels, systems

and touchpoints into a seamless, cohesive customer and employee experience.

INNOVATION FOR STAFF MANAGEMENT

At the recent National Retail Federation’s The Big Show in New York there was a noticeable shift towards appreciating that good customer experience starts with the people on the shop floor. Large and enterprise retailers can no longer manage a workforce manually. However, they must focus on retaining their brand culture: They must innovate on how to motivate and incentivise staff in an environment full of controls.

LOSS AND FRAUD

This is a global problem, not just a South African problem. The attempt to combat syndicated crime is growing rapidly and involves proactive risk detection and case management. This needs to be done in a way that takes employee experience into account.

stability in price trends for paint and brushware sector

The April issue of DIY & Industrial Trade News showcased an analysis of retail inflation in the South African paint sector, including accessories and brushware, from January 2023 to January 2024. Aquidneck continues to monitor retail inflation in paint and brushware, this time spanning from February 2023 to February 2024.

Aquidneck’s findings will be featured in a series of articles by DIY and Industrial Trade News, offering monthly updates across various hardware categories.

In a 12-month period, the price trends in the paint and brushware sector has been relatively steady. Consistency in brushes and rollers have also been noticeable in this period. In some segments of this sector, there have been notable price fluctuations, some displaying volatile numbers, and some have been consistent and steady.

Price trends year-on-year for the whole paint department stable with a negative edge at -0.7% originating from the paint category despite its largest segment wall paint increasing by +7.2% YoY. Brushware in line with the market stable at +0.3%.

Brushware represents 20% of the sales volume and contributes 7% to the total value generation of the paint department. Within brushware, brushes represent around half of both units and value generation. Rollers provide 14% in units and 16% in value with tray sets (generally one roller plus tray) adding another 13% and 18% respectively.

Finally, roller refills represent 10% and 7% in units and value.

Price trends for brushware total stable at +0.3%, however, the individual product groups show wildly differing trends. Single rollers (excluding tray sets and bundles) decline YoY by -2% while trays sets increase by +4.4% to R90 on average. Brushes are more consistent at -1% for the total and -1.5% for singles.

The dominating 225mm segment for rollers (excluding bundles and tray sets) is highly competitive with only minor price disparities among the major players. Large brands like Academy or Hamilton’s or the aggregate of house brands all retail around R73 on average. In contrast, smaller sizes show more price fluctuation.

Roller Refills (excluding bundles) generate 10% of the volume of brushware and generate 7% of the value. They provide a large array of price points clearly linked to the type of refill. The smaller sizes tend to generate a larger share of the volume and are often sold in twin packs adding another layer of volatility in the price points.

Roller trays sets are a dominating segment within brush ware providing 13% of the volume and 18% of the value. In some months tray sets outsell single rollers in volume terms. High number of active brands with a deep product range from promotion focused offers to high-end items. Price points differ although for 225mm the core of the market is between R80 and R100.

Brushes generated 51% of the sales volume and 49% of the value for brushware in February, stable around half of the total in general terms. Unlike rollers within brushes price differentiation is key in line with their intended use and of course size.

the state of SA's industrial manufacturing industry

With its industrial manufacturing sector contributing significantly to economic growth and the country’s gross domestic product, South Africa is a prime manufacturing hub on the African continent.

This is according to PwC’s report Building Avenues for Tomorrow’s Industrial Manufacturing Workforce Today, which also states that around 1.5 million people ply their trade in industrial manufacturing and are witnessing progression at a rapid pace within the sector.

According to Dennis Phillips, national sales manager at abrasive manufacturer, PFERDSouth Africa, “The fact that global automaker, Stellantis, well-known for brands such as Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Chrysler and Jeep, will start construction of its automotive manufacturing plant in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape this month, affirms that South Africa is indeed a popular manufacturing destination.”

That said, the manufacturing industry is ever-evolving which includes its factories and the employees who operate them. Top-of-mind topics include sustainability, digital transformation, automation, additive manufacturing and employee reskilling.

SUSTAINABILITY

Phillips explains that sustainability in business

has evolved from being a mere buzzword to a fundamental strategic imperative. The industry must embrace sustainable business practices to benefit the company and its broader community. Companies need to integrate sustainable practices into their operations to address environmental and social challenges while driving long-term profitability.

“We need to consider all aspects of business to enable a more sustainable future by reevaluating how we operate. By producing less waste, recycling the waste we do produce and using resources more efficiently, we can all commit to limiting our impact on the environment. Embracing sustainability not only enhances brand reputation and stakeholder trust but also mitigates risks associated with resource scarcity. It accelerates innovation, prompting businesses to develop eco-friendly products and services that meet the needs of a conscious consumer base”, says Phillips.

PFERD products prioritise sustainability through PFERDVALUE, a dual strategy aimed at promoting worker well-being and resource efficiency. PFERDERGONOMICS

focuses on improving operator health by reducing the amount of noise, vibration and dust by the abrasive consumable, ultimately enhancing comfort and safety. Meanwhile, PFERDEFFICIENCY ensures their products use less energy, save time and minimise waste while maintaining optimal performance.

THE INDUSTRIAL IoT

As part of a broader digital transformation strategy, companies can reimagine their utilisation of technology, personnel and procedures to propel their business into new realms.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) involves the integration of smart sensors, actuators and RFID tags (among other technologies) to enhance manufacturing and industrial processes. These interconnected devices enable the collection, exchange and analysis of data, thereby optimising operations and improving overall efficiency.

In various industries, companies leverage industrial robots and automation to produce goods. By integrating IIoT solutions, they can proactively maintain their systems and identify issues before they disrupt the manufacturing process.

ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION

Robotics and automation have revolutionised the manufacturing industry, driving efficiency, precision and productivity. Through the deployment of robotic systems and automated technologies, manufacturers can streamline production processes, optimise workflows and enhance overall operational performance.   These technologies enable tasks ranging from repetitive assembly tasks to complex machining as well as dangerous tasks to be executed with accuracy and speed while increasing output consistency. Additionally, robotics and automation facilitate the integration of data analytics and artificial

intelligence, enabling predictive maintenance and real-time decision-making for improved resource allocation and cost management.

As a result, companies can stay competitive in a rapidly evolving global market, meeting customer demands for quality, customisation and speed while driving innovation and sustainable growth within the industrial manufacturing sector.

Phillips notes that although robotics and automation is nothing new, the adoption rates of this cutting-edge technology are rising. “At PFERD we’ve experienced a significant increase in Robotic System Integrators requesting application-based solutions where their customers are deploying industrial robot cells within their manufacturing facilities.”

Globally, PFERD’s expertise and experienced application specialists have successfully

optimised numerous robotic applications that subsequently made significant improvements to their customers’ operational efficiency.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT

The use of additive layer manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, presents a significant opportunity for manufacturers in South Africa. This technology offers numerous advantages for large-scale production, including rapid prototyping, cost efficiency, customisation of components and shortened lead times.

According to Phillips, there are currently multiple ongoing 3D printing initiatives, such as a proof-of-concept project aimed at constructing affordable housing. “In the metalworking sector, customers utilise

3D printing to produce medical implants and aviation parts, where after they use our abrasives to achieve the correct surface finish and geometries – a critical requirement given the final product’s intended use.” Furthermore, manufacturers are leveraging 3D printers to fabricate parts for the automotive and power generation industries, showcasing the versatility and potential of this innovative manufacturing technique.

Therefore, companies, as stated in The World Economic Forum’s World of Work Report, are prioritising training their employees to use AI, big data as well as developing their analytical and creative thinking skills.

A study by the Manufacturing Institute’s Center for Manufacturing Research looked at the factors that affect retention and a key finding among employees under the age of 30 was that they stay with their current employer due to the company’s training and reskilling programme that allows them to further their careers.

At PFERD, we’ve come up with various ways to continually train and upskill our staff. Furthermore, we also onboard innovative ways, through our Training Academy, to continue assisting our customers in training and upskilling their staff regarding new ways of using abrasives effectively within their processes.

“To remain globally competitive, it’s critically important that South Africa upskill its workforce to ensure competitiveness and to help the country continue to attract foreign direct investment,” explains Phillips.

sassda revives coveted awards for 60 th anniversary celebration

As the Southern Africa Stainless Steel Association (Sassda) proudly celebrates its 60th Anniversary in 2024, it has also announced the highly anticipated return of the Sassda and Columbus Stainless Steel Awards supported by title sponsor Columbus Stainless and category sponsors EuroSteel, Macsteel and NDE.

Centred around the theme, ‘Sustainability: A Legacy of Brilliance’ the awards will take place on 19 September 2024 and will honour the enduring strength and durability of stainless steel, while recognising the resilience of the local stainless steel industry in navigating the current challenges it faces.

Explaining the reason for the awards’ long hiatus, Sassda executive director Michel Basson explains, “The last global storm in the South African industry had to face came in the form of a pandemic that brought the world to its knees. This also brought a temporary halt to our tradition of the awards as a showcase event every second year.

“The world has undergone countless changes since our founding but through it all, Sassda has remained a pillar of support and innovation for the stainless steel industry, and we are therefore proud to host these sought after awards. They are a vital opportunity to reflect on the resilience of our members and underscore the critical role stainless steel plays in shaping a sustainable future.”

Basson adds that this year’s awards represent a fresh new take on an old classic given that the number of categories has been streamlined to eight and the digital entry mechanism has been made as user-friendly as possible.

THE AWARD CATEGORIES ARE:

Sustainability – recognises a sustainable innovative new product or project featuring an impact on either energy use, environmental improvement, recycling, material use or lifecycle costing.

Duplex Stainless Steel – the use of this specific grade of stainless steel in an

application which demonstrates innovation and life-cycle cost effectiveness. Entries will cover both projects and products.

Ferritic Stainless Steel – in a product or project that demonstrates innovation, life-cycle cost effectiveness, substitution, and growth potential.

Austenitic Stainless Steel – in a project or product with an application in this grade of material that shows innovation, life-cycle cost effectiveness, substitution, and growth potential.

Export Achievement – recognition of significant growth in export sales through innovation, quality and effectiveness (volume, value or both).

Business Excellence – will recognise businesses for building a sustainable, longterm, thriving business that has demonstrated innovative use of stainless steel in the design and development of products, to become a leader in the field of excellence.

Lifetime Achievement – awards a person or persons that have made an outstanding contribution to Sassda and the stainless steel industry.

Overall Winner – the most successful and outstanding winner from all the categories.

In terms of entry criteria, the awards are open to individuals and companies (locally and abroad) that participate in the design, production, conversion, distribution and use or specification of stainless steel. Entrants do not need to be a member of Sassda.

Entries for the awards close on 8th July 2024 and will be adjudicated by an independent panel of judges drawn from recognised professionals, representing all sectors of industry. The winners will be announced at a banquet dinner to be held on the 19th of September 2024 at The Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg.

A new legacy of convenience and community begins at Barlow Park

Offering a vibrant shopping experience right at the gateway to South Africa’s business capital – ideally positioned for commuters and neighbourhood residents alike – Barlow Park Retail opened with big names in convenience, including Checkers and Clicks, and food and beverage offerings from favourites like Vida e Café and Roman’s Pizza.

The curated selection of daily convenience caters to all tastes and needs and includes Legend’s Barber, Pick n Pay Clothing, Mr Price, Crazy Store, Pep Home, Oasis Water, Levingers Dry Clean & Shoe Clinic, Vision Works, Checkers Liquor, All Fix, PostNet and the ATM service of Capitec Bank.

During the month of March, Nando’s and Princess Hair are also joining this unique retail mix, designed to complement the community’s dynamic spirit.

The eagerly awaited shopping centre opening was celebrated with an exciting array of activities, from live performances to fun giveaways, children’s entertainment, showcases, competitions and lots of special offers from the newly opened retailers.

The Barlow Park Retail opening marks the long-awaited realisation of a vision that began in 2017 when esteemed South African property

developer and investor Atterbury took on the redevelopment of Barloworld’s former corporate site. The initial office-centric plan was delayed due to the pandemic, which worked in favour of shifting to a residential-led vision for Barlow Park. With the leading force in affordable multifamily residential rental property Divercity Urban Property Group coming on board, construction of the project began in June 2022, transforming Barlow Park into a modern, mixed-use community, setting new standards for quality affordable living supported by top facilities and security.

This community-centric redevelopment garnered solid stakeholder backing. Moolman Group and Twin City Development are also investors in Barlow Park.

The iconic new Barlow Park has revitalised and transformed the site of the former Barloworld headquarters in Sandton into a contemporary mixed-use precinct, with the much-anticipated opening of Barlow Park Retail on 29 February 2024.

Now, in 2024, the Barlow Park community has come to life with a fusion of urban convenience and community warmth. In addition to the opening of Barlow Park Retail, the first 300 apartments at Barlow Park welcomed residents on 31 January. Enthusiastic take-up exceeded expectations and resulted in the first residential phase being fully let in its first month. The much-anticipated second phase of residential apartments will launch in May 2024.

With education being the cornerstone of a thriving community, the top-tier independent school Curro Barlow Park also opened this year and is fully operational. Other precinct amenities will include a medical facility, shared offices and more.

All this can be effortlessly accessed through Barlow Park’s dedicated trafficsignalled entrance. Sandton’s newest multifunctional precinct can be found at 180 Katherine Street, with easy access from key road links just a short drive from major M1 Highway off-ramps.

Atterbury and Divercity co-manage the asset, and the Barlow Park Property Management Office houses the precinct’s letting and property management departments, ensuring on-site support for a seamless living experience.

ingco unveils the future at the 2024 open day extravaganza

“Open Days at our branches give our customers the opportunity to see our showrooms and our operation first hand. The most prevalent comment we get is, “We didn’t realise how big you are.” We have grown tenfold in size and stature over the past eight years and it’s something that must be seen to be appreciated,” said Skillcraft Agencies MD Angelo Angelos.

He adds that the Open Days also give its customers the chance to take a detailed look at INGCO’s whole range, sample the products and make strategy decisions about the way forward with us. “We work hard to make sure that our customers understand our trajectory and where we are going so that they can remain in step with us on this journey. The deeper our common understanding, the better results we can achieve together. The Open Days are a fantastic vehicle to foster this understanding.”  One of the standout features of the event was the exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Skillcraft Agencies’ warehouse facilities. This tour provided attendees with a rare glimpse into the finer details of Skillcraft warehouse operations, including spares and repairs

processes and logistics management. By understanding these inner workings, customers gained valuable insights into lead times and operational efficiency, fostering better communication and collaboration between Skillcraft Agencies and its customers.

Skillcraft Agencies marketing coordinator, Brigitte Thysse, adds that face-to-face ‘meet and greet’ opportunities between Skillcraft Agencies’ internal sales and administrative teams and their customer base added a personal touch and provided customers with the opportunity to make queries, offer feedback, and establish meaningful relationships with the team. Skillcraft Agencies’ commitment to an open-door policy and customer support was evident throughout the event, reinforcing the notion that every customer’s voice is valued and heard.

Another highlight of the INGCO Open Day was the presence of dedicated INGCO brand ambassadors in each region. These ambassadors played a crucial role in providing live demonstrations, addressing product-related queries, and sharing valuable tips and tricks

with attendees. By offering first hand experience and expertise, these ambassadors empowered customers to make informed decisions about the INGCO product range and maximise their in-store opportunities. Their presence reinforced Skillcraft Agencies’ commitment to not only selling quality products but also ensuring that customers derive maximum value and satisfaction from their purchases.

Skillcraft Agencies’ first INGCO Open Day for 2024 was more than just a showcase of products – it was a testament to its dedication to customer satisfaction, transparency, and continuous improvement.

POWER BUILD GOLF DAYIN SUPPORT OF THE 'GOOD MORNING ANGELS' INITIATIVE

In March, the picturesque Kyalami Country Club played host to Power Build’s inaugural suppliers charity golf day, a resounding success that combined camaraderie, sportsmanship, and philanthropy.

With a full field of 28 four balls, the event marked a memorable debut for Power Build and its suppliers, bolstered by the generous support of sponsors such as Halfway House sponsor, Heunis Steel and Title sponsor Evolution Valves. The day wasn’t just about swinging clubs; it was about swinging into action for a good cause.

All proceeds from the event were dedicated to ‘Good Morning Angels’, an initiative spearheaded by Jacaranda Stereo and Martin Bester, which has been transforming lives for over seven years.

Through this platform, the voiceless find their voices, as the team tirelessly identifies and aids those in need, making a tangible impact in the community.

The golfing action followed a unique format designed for both fairness and entertainment. A four-ball alliance with two scores to count, coupled with scramble drives on all holes, ensured that every player felt the thrill of

contribution. Additionally, a fines system injected an extra element of fun, with quirky titles like ‘Dam Duiker’ and ‘M I A’ adding to the fun atmosphere.

Throughout the course, golfers vied for prizes on designated nearest pin and longest drive holes, with an enticing R500 000 holein-one incentive adding to the excitement. The vibrant display of sponsor gazebos, coupled with snacks and refreshments, turned the Kyalami golf course into a lively spectacle, befitting of such a worthy cause.

Once the golfing was concluded, the festivities continued with pre-prize-giving cocktails, followed by a heartfelt welcome from Power Build MD Armand Feldtmann. Feldtmann thanked suppliers, with special acknowledgement reserved for the event's key supports, Evolution Vales and Heunis Steel. The Power Build and Green Beetle Branding teams were singled out for their contribution in making the event so successful.

The prize-giving ceremony, led by renowned MC Pieter Koen, was a highlight of the evening, as players were rewarded for their efforts on the green. From valuable tools to coveted work tables, every four-ball left with a prize in hand, courtesy of generous sponsors.

Yet, the generosity didn’t end there. An exciting auction, featuring rare rugby memorabilia, saw bids soar, with proceeds totalling an impressive R90 500 for Good Morning Angels. A corporate challenge was introduced, where an anonymous supplier challenged other corporate suppliers to match or beat their donation of R8 000. Promac Paints (R15 000) Tyan  Construction (R20 000) and Power Build themselves (R17 000) all stepped up to the challenge resulting in an additional R60 000 being raised bringing the total to a staggering R150 500.

The night ended with a sumptuous dinner, guests departed knowing they had not only enjoyed a day of golf but had also made a meaningful contribution to the community.

With their longevity and excellent cutting abilities, diamond blades have become the choice of tool for projects requiring cutting of tiles- whether it be roof, floor, or wall tiles. In days gone by, this used to prove quite a challenge and in many cases, a costly and time-consuming exercise due to tiles chipping and cracking from using conventional cutting methods.

Available in both segmented and continuous rims, they fit onto standard portable right-angle grinders, featuring diameters of 115mm and 230mm.

The continuous rim is specifically designed to reduce chipping on application. Producing a smoother cut, it is the ideal product for cutting glazed, porcelain and marble tiles.

For cement roof tiles, terracotta floor tiles and other masonry substrates, we recommend the segmented rim, although producing a faster and cooler cut, some chipping might result on application.

Suitable for wet or dry cutting, we recommend the use of a coolant, such as water, especially when cutting with the continuous rim to extend blade life.

Manufactured and tested to international standards, Superflex Evolution Diamond Blades are not only safe and efficient in use, but also economical.
