WHO WE'VE WORKED WITH

Some valuable words from clients past and present we have helped with B-BBEE Ownership:

Sithembisosakhe Community Center hereby likes to thank all the people who took part in making our dream come true. We appreciate the efforts and patience during this journey. We will take it upon ourselves that everything comes out as planned and agreed. The seed that your companies have planted will definitely bring positive and fruitful outcome.
Judith - SITHEMBISOSAKHE COMMUNITY CENTRECEO
Since our very first encounter, I have found their company to be world-class in many ways. Their knowledge of B-BBEE codes, compliance and implementation was above my expectations. They value both time and money and always deliver high-quality product within the stipulated deadlines. I would also like to add that their very quick and reliable responses to my questions were always very much appreciated, even well after the project implementation was complete. I am extremely satisfied with the way they conduct their business and hope that you have the same pleasant experience with them.
Carolyn Gass - IEC HOLDENVice President & Chief Financial Officer
Quiver Tree Capital transformed our shareholding in line with the amended B-BBEE codes and Mining Charter. Your highly proficient and full understanding of the requirement of the B-BBEE codes, related regulations and transaction structures was instrumental throughout every phase of our 51 percent ownership transaction which was successfully completed within a very tight timeframe. Thank you personally for your efforts, which I appreciate and recognise as being the primary ingredient in the success of our transformation.
Kim Schöpflin - KWATANICEO
No amount of words can describe the gratitude in our hearts for the miracle God performed in you entering our life. May you be blessed more and more, we also pray that this project will escalate your levels of performance and help developing the less fortunate. God bless all.
Nozipho Roro - SITHEMBISOSAKHE COMMUNITY CENTRE
Much appreciation for the insights and for the hand-holding. We feel that the proposition that Quiver Tree Capital puts forward is win-win for all, and we look forward to mutual growth with our new partners and the beneficiaries who are their customers. Going forward we as Savannah will also be able to revisit our purpose – the reason why we exist. Put simply - we are a greater force for positive change now than before.
Steve Mitchell - SAVANNAH FINE CHEMICALS
I would like to express my gratitude to Quiver Tree Capital and the QTC Team for the manner in which their assisted Lockton South African office gain an acceptable B-BBEE rating. The process was relatively simple and the fact that QTC delivered all the documentation and summaries necessary was exceptional. Your assistance was invaluable in dealing with a complex matter and the delivery of the solution simplified matters for me and my team immensely. I have no hesitation in recommending Quiver Tree Capital in this role.
Seamus Casserly - LOCKTON
Throughout our dealings with Quiver Tree Capital, we received an outstanding level of service from Lawrence and his team. Throughout the entire process we experienced expert levels of knowledge of B-BBEE and Company legislation; exceptionally prompt responses, to all our questions and service requests. In summary, it has been a real pleasure to work with QTC and I would gladly and confidently recommend their services to any company looking to implement a tailored B-BBEE ownership solution.
Confidential ClientDetails Upon Request
I just want to actually thank you for the patience you have shown, the professionalism and most of all for allowing me to engage with you and your “exceptional mind” during the process, I know it was frustrating and that changing a team during such a frustrating time is not ideal, but from my side, thank you for giving me the opportunity to get involved and create a very amicable environment to work in, it was a real honour.
Confidential ClientDetails Upon Request
After several years of exploring various ownership options to further our transformation process, we were introduced to QTC, who rapidly accelerated the whole process and delivered an ownership structure which achieved our desired objectives within a matter of months. I would like to thank the team at QTC for their proficiency, patience and guidance. The change to our ownership structure has been a major decision and undertaking and QTC led us expertly at every point in the journey. Looking forward, we are confident that the new structure will be beneficial to all of the parties involved.
Dr Shirley Ferris Managing Director | Whitehead Scientific
From the first meeting I had with Lawrence to the completion of the transaction, Lawrence and his team provided a professional service and delivered on what they promised. The team always available to answer question, “bounce ideas” and trouble shoot challenges. Explaining the B-BBEE requirements within an international company requires some patience and clear explanations. Quiver Tree Capital supported us all the way.
Shaun ReedCFO | Toll Global Forwarding (EMEA)
After a number of years of exploring a wide variety of equity transformation options without success we were introduced to QTC. From day one the competence and understanding of the BBBEE codes provided clarity and comfort. Their highly professional team provided a well-structured and acutely managed process enabling us to achieve the full BBBEE Ownership points and Black Woman Ownership level required by our customers within some fairly tight and important time constraints. Thank you to the QTC team.
Confidential Client
Quiver Tree worked with us in structuring and implementing our B-BBEE Ownership transaction. Quiver Tree demonstrated that they are experts in the field of B-BBEE and company legislation. Their implementation process is smooth and well managed. I would personally recommend Quiver Tree to a company looking to implement such a structure.
