Countdown begins for Gauteng’s top exporter award

It’s that time of year again – the JCCI-FNB 2010 Gauteng Exporter of the Year Awards. Exporters have until October 1 to complete and submit their entries for the competition, now in its tenth year. The seven categories include small, medium and large manufacturers, export service providers (logistics, clearing and forwarding), other services (tourism, finance, consultants, construction, etc), new entrants to exports, and exporters into Africa. “The Awards aim to highlight the importance of exports in promoting prosperity and to identify successful role models as a way of encouraging an export orientation amongst manufacturers and service providers,” says JCCI’s Dorothy Lotter. Entry forms are available from the website www.jcci.co.za or dgl@jcci.co.za.
