What are the benefits of
joining Lowveld Business?
Here is what our members say:
“I have met potential clients I would not otherwise
have made contact with. This happens mainly through
the breakfast and lunch meetings that are held
throughout the year. In addition there is a year-end
function and golf days. The events also offer
advertising opportunities.”
“Being a member of the LCBT gives me the opportunity
to have input into consultations on a broad range of
issues that are of importance to the local
communities, such as issues which affect the Local
Municipality, or the Environmental Development
Plan.”
“On a
regular basis I receive a summary of electronic data
as received by the LCBT office from organisations
such as SACOB, or managed labour.”
“I
have an opportunity to attend training sessions on
various matters relevant to business in general, for
examples new legislation.”
