CLIENT’S COMMENT
Mazars, the internationally represented organisation specialising in audit, accounting, tax and
advisory services, has officially opened its new
Gauteng premises located in Melrose Estate,
Johannesburg – an ideal location in the epicentre
of South Africa’s business powerhouse.
According to Anoop Ninan, Managing Partner
of Mazars Gauteng, the move to the new Gauteng
premises brings together 26 partners and more
than 300 employees and was necessitated as a
result of the exponential growth that Mazars has
experienced in recent years.
“The integrated office has created an
atmosphere of increased camaraderie. We
now work in a cleverly designed, open-plan
environment that has encouraged more interaction
between colleagues and is fostering a culture
of collaboration. This further ensures a crossfunctional and multi-disciplinary approach to
tailored client solutions.”
Our Gauteng hub offers a wide range
of services, such as audit, accounting, tax
management consulting, corporate finance, project
finance, ICTA, forensics and BEE consulting, to
name just a few, says Ninan. “We will continue
to have an office in Pretoria to service our client
base in the city.
The new H-shaped office space was designed
to keep the tone of similar surrounding structures
while also establishing its own identity, standing
out boldly with strong lines and shapes. It offers
extensive views of the Killarney Golf Course and
boasts a rooftop entertainment deck with an
unchallenged view of the Johannesburg skyline.
The office includes facilities such as ample
parking for staff and visitors, refreshment and
catering stations, and shower stations for exercise
enthusiasts. The modern design of the building is
54 Glenhove
also energy efficient, reducing our carbon footprint
and environmental impact.
The windows are made of highly-reflective glass
to contribute to the control of emissivity of the
building. With two wings separated by an atrium
and connected by bridges, the building is designed
to allow plenty of sunlight in, but reduce heat –
while also showcasing views of the surrounding
vegetation. The graphics draw their inspiration
from the surrounding trees and this continues into
the interior design and colours. This complements
the corporate values and brand identity.
Mazars has a long history of professional
excellence in South Africa and employs more than
1,000 staff nationally.
“We are very proud of our new premises and
I believe this move will energise the business to
the next level. We remain agile enough to provide
our clients with the personalised, professional
service that they have come to expect and we look
forward to welcoming them to our new home,”
concludes Ninan.
