SWEDISH MATCH OVERSEAS DIVISION
MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Twenty two delegates arrived from all around the world for the first of the Overseas Division,s Management meetings. Upon arrival in Johannesburg, delegates were met at the JIA and transferred to The Grace Hotel in Rosebank, for a welcome cocktail party, and overnight.
The second day was spent on a site visit at Leonard Dingler’s factory, after which delegates returned to The Grace for a conference. The day ended with a visit to a local Italian restaurant, where a superb meal was enjoyed by all.

The third day began with an early transfer to the JIA, for a domestic flight to Hoedspruit Airport. There delegates were met and transferred to Kapama Private Game Lodge, situated close to the airport. The luxury and excellent service, accompanied by superb cuisine, created a wonderful first time visit to Africa for many participants. Game drives proved to be most exciting, with excellent game spotting and the occasional getting stuck in the mud, due to the heavy rains experienced just before the visit.

After 2 days of relaxing, the group was transferred by luxury coach to Greenway Woods at White River, for a 2 day management workshop. All delegates left with a great impression on South Africa, vowing to return at the first opportunity!
