“ We’ ve had to stay nimble and agile, especially during tough times,” Greg reflects.“ But competition makes us stronger. It keeps us on our toes and drives us to be better.”
He credits the company’ s agile and innovative board and a strong team with many successes along the way:“ I am proud of the work we have done. Adapting to the landscape – where turnarounds, liquidations and insolvencies are a constant reality – requires a dedicated and skilled team that needs to find the right solutions for companies looking for assistance.”
One of Greg’ s recent achievements with High Street Auction Co has been to be participate in the business rescue plan of The Success Academy, with George Nell and Gideon Slabbert of Corporate Business Rescue. The company’ s assets, principally Real Estate, with a calculated replacement value of R3bn +, could evolve into an important case study for the future.
Looking to the Future: Innovation and Expansion
Going forward, the High Street Auction Co’ s board’ s vision is one of continued growth, innovation and diversification. While real estate remains at the core of the business, the company is expanding its offerings.
“ The real estate business has underpinned what we do. With active shareholders who are invested in the success of the business and bring innovation to our thinking, we have an even greater future ahead.
We have new ventures lined up that will build on our existing foundation and take us into new ecosystems that will allow us to deliver value to our clients. We’ re anticipating our new divisions to be an enormous success!” he says.
