JTR achieves Level 1 BEE status

Durban-based transporting
company, JTR Freight,
has been awarded Black
Economic Empowerment
(BEE) Level 1 status.
“Our BEE status has
always been very important
and improving the ratings
of our business has always
been a top priority,” said
managing director, Thaven
Naidoo.
With Level 1 being the
highest score obtainable, the
company is set to broaden
its client base even further
with its new status, he said.
BEE status plays an
integral role in establishing
a bigger client base as it
allows one to compete
with larger companies. It
is especially important for
clients as the higher the
score the more it contributes
towards the client’s
scorecard.
But, said Naidoo, BEE is
more than just a business
advantage. “In it lies the
transformation of the South
African economy.”
