The new GIG ...

Global Inspections is no
more – long live the Global
Inspections Group (GIG).
This follows much
deliberation by the South
African-based inspections
company which has not only
changed its name but also
corporate colours.
According to Stefan
Sakoschek, executive group
chairman, the change has
resulted in a look and feel
that maintains the company’s
African roots, but has more
international appeal.
“It is definitely about having
a fresh and more modern look,
while the acronym is more
internationally inclined,”
says Sakoschek.
Employees have welcomed
the new name and look of the
company. “We are proud of our
African roots – the company
came about as we identified
an opportunity to open a
truly African inspections
company. Traditionally all the
other inspections companies
operating in South Africa
and Africa have European
headquarters, but we were
born and bred here. It was
important to retain that,
but also be able to have our
international clients identify
with us.”
