Bill and Irene Hillary were the Company’s founding members. The Hillary’s emigrated from England to South Africa in 1959. The Company started earth moving in 1963 and registered as civil engineering contractors in 1967. Initially regional, the Company now has a footprint in South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana. The head office is in Polokwane, Limpopo Province South Africa. The first ‘big’ contract came in 1967 after initially leveling sites and building dams. The then Department of Posts and Telegraphs awarded the contract to build a tarred road up to their repeater station on the Ysterberg. This was a twelve-month R 64 500 order, about half an hour’s turnover in today’s terms! The biggest challenge was to realise that the Company had grown beyond a family business and that a new era had dawned. 1991 – approximately 10% of the Company’s shares were sold to it’s employees 2003 – more shares were sold to management 2007 – outside investors were welcomed as shareholders 2013 – an employees share trust was established 2017 – a 100% black women owned empowerment group acquired 4.9% of the shares Today we can boast of 31% black ownership, 13% being black women owned
