BEE Status

Pro Hire Plant and Tool as a company has made significant progress in its transformation journey, achieving a phenomenal jump from Level 4 B-BBEE to Level 1 status in under one year. Pro Hire Tool and Plant with its new B-BBEE rating also offers excellent benefits for the civil and corporate customers alike.

Companies that procure only from high rated B-BBEE suppliers spend less but can claim more. When a potential hire customer is in the process of choosing a supplier, their own BEE level is affected by the supplier’s level. And the higher the supplier’s level, the more the customer can claim towards their procurement spend

It is simple maths: if clients choose a BEE level 6 company, only 60 cents out of every rand they spend will count towards their own BEE scorecard. However, as a Level 1 company, for every R1.00 our customers spend with us they can claim R1.25 against their own preferential procurement scoring.

“We at Pro Hire Plant and Tool are immensely proud of this achievement and what it means. Our rating has a direct impact on the competitiveness of our clients. A Level 1 score offers benefits to everyone in our supply chain, both financially and concerning increasing their own BEE scores,” says Kyle Wiggill, General Manager at Pro Hire Plant and Tool Pretoria Branch.

Pro Hire Plant and Tool’s BBBEE certificate does not only offer economic benefits. It also shows our clients and business partners that the company is committed to transformation. As a plant and tool hire company we specialise in transforming the business of our clients, helping them streamline their plant and tool needs and improving their overall spend. But this is not the only transformation we focus on. Our Level 2 B-BBEE status is a clear demonstration that we are also serious about the transformation of South Africa, the development of our country and the growth of the country’s businesses.

To achieve transformation, Pro Hire Plant and Tool created a broad-based black economic empowerment plan in order create meaningful transformation that in turn creates substantive impact in the environments in which we operate. This remains a priority for our business, and underpins all our strategic objectives. We remain committed to advancing the transformation landscape beyond the plant and tool hire sector, in a manner that contributes positively and sustainably to the growth and economic wellbeing of all South Africans impacted by our business operations.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic presented a number of operational challenges and, at times, threatened to derail several objectives, we remained vigilant to managing these risks and capturing the opportunities that emerged.

As an organisation, we at Pro Hire Plant and Tool pride ourselves on an agile and forward looking approach to transformation, and align our operational plans with our transformation objectives. In this vein, work has already begun on our broader transformation goals, and we look forward to shifting the transformation needle in the coming years.
