Another fantastic TGMA Gauteng Managers Meeting in the books!

A big thank you to The Bryanston Country Club for hosting our latest TGMA Gauteng Managers Meeting, and to our meeting sponsors John Collier Governance and Environmental Compliance Research and TMI - Irrigation Solutions for their valued support and incredibly beneficial educational sessions.

It was a brilliant opportunity to see the work behind the scenes, understand the thinking and planning involved, and gain practical insight into a project of this scale.
