With the combined expertise that the co-founders hold in both enterprise and supplier development, the company is able to provide an integrated supplier diversity programme that not only builds resilience into South African suppliers, but connects them with the opportunities they need to thrive.
BUCGC Consulting takes a dual approach to development: both the entrepreneur and the enterprise need to be supported on different levels to achieve great results. By developing suppliers in this way, BUCGC strengthens and de-risks supply chains.
