VIP investment
pays immediate dividends
At the end of 2008 VIP Bin Cleaning SA decided to
invest heavily in the company in preparation for the expected substantial
growth within their franchise business. This investment included moving
into premises on the Ontdekkers Road in Johannesburg, more network support
staff to help launch and support their existing and new franchisees and
improved systems and procedures.
This investment has already paid dividends with the announcement that six
new franchises have been awarded in April 2009 and all are now in the planning
stage to launch their new businesses. VIP always recognised that the potential
for the business in South Africa is great and this is vindication that
the improved infrastructure will pay high rewards.
Mark Harvey (VIP Bin Cleaning UK Managing Director) visited South Africa
in April to meet the new franchisees and help present the company at the
2009 FASA Franchise Exhibition in Johannesburg. Mark commented how impressed
he was the new VIP set up and also the high quality of the new franchisees
who all showed great passion, believe and enthusiasm for the business. More >

Job creation
- VIP working closely with the Youth Funds
VIP
SA have continued to develop
their relationship with the municipalities
and the Umsobomvu Youth Fund.
The core focus of these relationships
is to help develop young entrepreneurs
working in conjunction and with
the support of the Youth Funds.
The benefits will
include
job
creation,
empowerment,
financial reward and of course
the rapid expansion of the VIP

example of how this
scheme can be successful for
all participants. More
