SI The Insider Newsletter December 2021

FROM THE DESK OF THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

A year of growth, investment and forward planning has left us in a very strong position as we move towards 2022.

Spirit Invest (SI) and its South African companies under Spirit Invest SA (Spirit), has never been in better shape, but before we get into detail, I wish to thank all for each of your personal contributions to what has been a memorable, albeit a challenging, 2021.

All companies have shown solid and significant growth in various areas of their operations and this was all achieved under trying business conditions, brought about yet again by Covid. In this regard, the difference between our companies and many others is that we have adapted quickly, prioritised client care in all service areas and have performed at higher-than-expected levels. We have not used Covid as a convenient excuse to underperform, in fact, Covid has been a revelation in that it has allowed our high-calibre professionals to lift their game even higher. It has been personally rewarding to see how everyone in Spirit has grown in confidence and taken more responsibility and shown more accountability for delivering everything expected of them as a member of their respective Teams.
