David White - DRG Outsourcing & DRGSiyaya

"It is a pleasure for our two companies DRG Outsourcing and DRGSiyaya to be linked with the Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business (PCB). Not only are the staff and management of the PCB a great aid to the success of the relationship, but also the enthusiasm, motivation, and leadership of CEO Andrew Layman. Andrew is committed to the success of the PCB, and is professional and polished in everything he does.

Certainly the Pietermaritzburg business community would be a less vibrant economy if it was not for the commitment of the PCB. For all business linkages, training, and related matters in the Pietermaritzburg area we recommend and encourage that companies become members of the Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business."

Patrick Greenaway - Action Coach

"I am delighted to provide a testimonial for the Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business. It is almost two years since I joined and I have found the PCB to be just what I needed to get my business off the ground when I moved back to Pietermaritzburg after an absence of 16 years. The networking opportunities are varied and very useful to become acquainted with businesses who are serious about what they do.

For me, there is no plausible reason for any business not to be a member. Like everything in life, you get out what you put in. You have to give before you can receive. There is some instant gratification after joining the PCB but to really make your investment work for you, there needs to be dedication and participation. My payback has been consistent and rewarding for my business and long may it continue. The management and staff of the PCB are amazing. Their focus and dedication in their various roles has been most gratifying to experience and it needs to be said that theirs is not always an easy ride. Thanks to all of you who make the PCB what it is. And that includes the members too!"

Bridget Jones - Pronel Personnel

"The Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business does not only provide a platform to market your business and network with other businesses in the region. If offers regular topical forums and training sessions with reputable facilitators which are of great value to business owners/managers and their employees.

The chamber is also fiercely committed to their member's business interests and makes a conscious effort to look for opportunities to both promote and grow your business. Being a member of the Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business has had many positive spin offs for Pronel Personnel."

Brenda Eckstein - Past President

"Chamber is an integral part of my business, the hub of my networking. Whether I’m using Chamber informally as a resource (please can you help me find out how much I should be charging a client for travel to Richards Bay?) or when I’m needing any business-related information or involved in a function, the Chamber CEO and staff will always more than ‘go the extra mile’ to help.

The vibrancy of this Chamber is a tribute to the leadership team and staff who enhance the experience of being in business. I’m proud to be a member and associated with this incredible organisation, the ‘Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business’."
