communities through experiences. VWV is a global brand experience

East and Africa. The company’s current operations include offices in South

Africa, and the USA. VWV is one of a handful of companies in the world

able to provide brand experience solutions across multiple target markets.

We engage consumers, business partners, staff and communities through a

broad range of best-in-class services including:

1. Event Production 2. Installations & Exhibitions

These delivery platforms are driven and coordinated by a multi-layered

project and creative management system. While each delivery platform is

VWV is a privately-owned unencumbered BEE company. In October 2009 we were awarded a Level - 3 Contributor status based on our equity ownership,

enterprise development and shareholding. In achieving this status we restructured the set-up and voting rights of the board and executive committee;

appointed a non-executive board director; engaged in public-private partnerships; created a new employment equity plan as well as a comprehensive

training program for all employees.

At VWV we firmly believe that empowerment is a journey and not simply a certification status. For this reason we are currently evaluating our procurement

processes and supplier certification. We are also investing in CSI programmes in a focused effort to become a Level 2 contributor.
