“Through Dean’s very relaxed approach to my accounting concerns, I could hear his advice of – think like a hero and see a simplistic picture of your accounts package to give an understanding to my organised chaos.

True words emanate from a man that talks solutions rather than problems.

One is left with confidence and the knowing that Dean will marshal the skills, loyalty and dedication of himself and others in ESS to present a complete package of success to one’s business.

His evident enthusiasm, honesty, credibility and reliability reinforces that he is a man of integrity.

I look forward to a successful future under the guidance and expertise of Dean and feel privileged to have found someone so down to earth and approachable, with a genuine interest in the success of my business.”

"This is to advise that arising out of the Vukani land claim and the recommendations of the Business Consultant [I Bales-Smith] the following developments have resulted:

1. The land use plan for the farming of Nguni and commercial cattle and for tourism has been implemented.
2. The business plan has proved a useful guide in caring out the various operations.
3 I, and another farmer/tour operator, have been successful in drawing up and signing a lease agreement with the Vukani community.

All parties are optimistic about the lease arrangements which will benefit all parties.

It has to be said that the success of these lease agreements on a long term basis will only be successful should the security of livestock and tourists be held in check by the community at large and their leaders."
