Encouraging and supporting entrepreneurs during the economic turbulence caused by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is a priority for the newly appointed president of the Durban Chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), Clinton Holcroft.
CEO of Serco – one of South Africa’s leading truck body and trailer building companies –Clinton assumes the presidential mantle at a demanding time with the impact of Covid-19 still being felt by commerce and industry sectors grappling to get back on track following lockdowns throughout the country and the rest of the world.
“Entrepreneurs play a critical role in creating growth and employment which are among our greatest challenges in South Africa. So organisations such as EO, which supports entrepreneurs on their journeys, helping them to be successful, are highly valuable. One of our core values is: Together we Grow – which refers to entrepreneurs working together to learn and grow personally to be better leaders and thus run more successful businesses.”
