Diversification pays off for NGL Group

Quinton de Villiers and Mark
Scott dream big. In less than
three years they have turned
their dream of owning their
own logistics company into a
reality that is growing beyond
their wildest dreams.
What was once just NGL
Logistic Solutions now is the
NGL Group of Companies.
“We have been very
disciplined in our approach
and have a strong will to
survive,” says De Villiers.
“We have continued to see
growth from the first day we
opened our doors and various
factors have contributed to
that. We started as a two-man
band and throughout the past
three years we have remained
committed to our vision and
that is to always strive to
improve.”
The NGL Group of
Companies now includes four
subsidiaries – NGL Logistics
Solutions, which provides
clients with an overall logistic
solution for all their transport
needs, NGL Fleet Services,
an overnight and same
day delivery service, NGL
Investments and Holdings
as well as Labour Solve,
a company that provides
contract labour.
“We have diversified
extensively in recent times,”
says De Villiers, “but that has
been part of our strategy. We
have never believed in forcing
all the various sectors into one
company because one size
does not fit all, but rather in
satisfying our customer needs
by creating entities that can
address their requirements.”
A major contributor to
the success is ensuring each
company has the necessary
expertise on board, says De
Villiers. “Mark and I have
worked together for many
years and we know what
we are capable of. We don’t
make promises we can’t keep.
Therefore we make sure there
are people in our team that
can make our clients’ requests
come true. It is essential to be
able to deliver at all times.”
The decision to start their
own company is starting to
pay off as they continue to
see growth, but no matter
how big their empire grows,
they still share an office,
where they continue to bounce
ideas off each other, develop
new schemes and implement
new plans.
