Our value-driven strategy is applied in supporting our mission to become the preferred Student Accommodation provider in Africa. 2020 Has impelled our focus on empowerment, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Our sustainable asset management practices are implemented to ensure the necessary yield is provided to our funders and shareholders alike.
CGES is a privately owned entity and is not listed on the JSE. Old Mutual, through Futuregrowth, holds a strategic stake in our business and is a considerable funder of the group. Our diverse portfolio of services expands across Asset and Property Management, Integrated Services (Technical and Soft service provision), Technology Services, Value Added Services, and Financial Solutions.
As a service-centric business, our core strength lies in our Human Resource Assets. Empowerment is therefore a crucial facet of our business, and we believe in developing and evolving our people through structured learning in a diversified environment.
Our Group structure includes the creation and activation through mergers and acquisitions of like-minded, niche services companies which we believe are vital on the African continent. Through this strategy, we aim to create a shift in the vision and philosophy of empowerment and become the driver for change in Africa.
A FOCUS ON DIVERSIFIED, ALTERNATIVE REVENUE STREAMS.
At CGES, our unique structure, impelled by continuous constraints imposed by an organization-managed out-of-business rescue, as well as a constant lack of growth capital and associated support has been the driving factor behind our phenomenal growth trajectory in the 2019|2020 period.
We have taken ‘turning constraints into opportunities’ to heart, and created a successful, future-proof business, satisfying investors and customers alike.
We are blessed to have the ceaseless support of our Executive staff, who strive daily to drive their business through unchartered territory, reaching new heights continually.
In 2019, our altered mindset changed the development strategy of landscaping, where our focus shifted towards fostering and developing a diversified services business.
CGES is proof that constraints and challenges are not the final steps to a successful organization, they are only the beginning. CGES | Group Ecosystem Services continues to grow, taking on new opportunities and businesses, creating employment, and fostering a sense of empowerment and entrepreneurship.
