The latest addition to ISG鈥檚 office network is designed to enable the contractor to service both multi-national and locally-based clients. It is intended to provide the company with a springboard into the Sub-Saharan African region, which ISG sees as having strong future growth potential.
The office will be headed by returning South African Craig Weatherhead, who has over 17 years鈥� senior management experience at a London-based design and build practice. 鈥淛ohannesburg is the ideal location for ISG鈥檚 latest office, with its well-developed banking system, infrastructure and experience of wider African trading,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he business potential for the continent is well documented and we are now ideally placed to service the requirements of multi-national clients that are looking to take advantage of emerging economic opportunities.鈥�
ISG chief executive David Lawther said: 鈥淭he expansion of our international network to service the Sub-Saharan African region, alongside a further office we are about to open in Qatar, is a strategic decision based on our predictions of growth within this part of the world. Providing our multi-national clients with consistency of service delivery, regardless of geography, is a key tenet of the business and we will continue to explore opportunities to systematically expand our international network to mirror our client鈥檚 ambitions.鈥�
