Run by Richard and Grace Jobson, the general manager and administration manager respectively, Orient has gained much managerial expertise by partaking in The Vuka Mentorship ProgrammeTM, which has as furthered their company’s development.
“We realised that we were short of some managerial skills, and therefore, required assistance to develop further in this area.
“Thanks to our involvement with the Programme, our respective knowledge capacity in crucial business areas such as marketing and financial management has been considerably strengthened. Subsequently, we will now be able to apply this knowledge to our daily operations, and ensure that our business grows and develops accordingly.”

“The Vuka Mentorship ProgrammeTM has the requisite processes, procedures and templates to ensure that companies gain the necessary managerial expertise they require to create and sustain viable enterprises.
“Subsequently our specific mentorship model is helping to ensure that the country’s economy develops, and that corporate companies can increase their community or supplier base.

We can also assist corporate companies who are looking for an audited, structured and verifiable approach to their BEE spend.”
Jobson concludes that The Vuka Mentorship ProgrammeTM has helped Orient refocus its direction.
“Previously, we were just running the business day to day, and didn’t have specific goal-related ideas. However, The Vuka Mentorship ProgrammeTM has ensured that we have far more focused objectives, and know where we would like the business to be in five years’ time.
“Therefore, the Programme has ultimately ensured that Orient is heading in the right direction, and has a long term plan for sustainability.”
