THE emergence and performance of small, medium and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs) in compressed economies are known as a tall order in business.
Oftentimes SMMEs have to contend with perennial challenges such as trust deficits that emanate from inadequate track records, limited networks and the need to hit the ground running.
This is never easy by any stretch of imagination. Growing an SMME in South Africa is generally a daunting task. Yet in spite of the well-documented impediments to success, South Africa is blessed with hard-working men and women who roll up their sleeves in industries where not many succeed.
In such an environment, to be recognised by the industry as an achiever of note is no mean feat. Such recognition recently went to Zen Holdings, a company built on sheer hardwork, dedication and commitment.
