December 2009

All set for a sparkling future

After months of negotiations, we are happy to announce that on 23 December 2009, board approval was granted, shareholders’ agreements were signed and Santam Limited became Emerald’s principal shareholder – effective from 31 December 2009.

We celebrate this union of expertise and intellectual capital. As a result, Emerald has been infused with additional strength and financial tenacity, upholding our vision and commitment to growth and our aspiration to become the preferred choice for our partners through the creation of sustainable Corporate Property and Engineering solutions, both locally and throughout Africa.

The intrinsic attributes of the precious stone we’re named after include protection, good fortune, inner direction and rebirth – qualities realised and celebrated in both our sparkling new brand image and our fresh beginning.
