IN a bid to consistently improve its ratings, Lovemore Bros proudly announces registered auditors MSCT BEE Services has awarded the rigging company with a Level 3 BBBEE (broad-based black economic empowerment) status – a notch down from its previous assessment.

Lovemore Bros joint CEO Rob Lovemore says the accreditation, achieved by Lovemore Bros’ association with black-owned development specialist company Engeli, means customers can obtain more value out of their procurement spend when contracting the company to undertake its heavy machinery work.

A 51% black-owned company, Engeli has various related accreditations including being duly accredited as a black private equity fund manager under the Amended BBBEE Codes of Good Practise and a registered financial services provider with the Financial Sector Coduct Authority (FSCA). The company is also 46.4% black-women owned and a Level 2 contributor. 

Lovemore says Engeli addresses the primary needs of businesses regardless of size with the core thrust aligned to addressing three fundamental issues – access to markets; access to finance and access to high level business support, mentorship and strategic direction.

Engeli is not unduly involved in operations, but directly and indirectly incentivised to have a positive impact through the support of its executive team and shareholders. Lovemore says in essence, the company focuses on strategy, development and organic and acquisitive growth.

“Engeli incorporates BBBEE best practice to deliver a synergistic approach necessary to grow and sustain businesses in support of wealth and job creation,” he says.
