FROM DAVE'S DESK


 

It is a year since TopTurf became part of the BidVest Group of Companies and it has been a very exciting year.

I have had increased exposure to budgets, forecasts, flashes, board meetings and reviews. I have realized how absolutely vital these processes are to the successful growth of sustainable business.

In the short space of one year, we have set up a branch in Durban, taken over the Trafalgar Portfolio of Maintenance, started a dedicated Golf Course Construction Business Unit, identified business opportunities in Mozambique and bought back the FNB contract and TopTurf name from Jimmy Power.

The lead article in this edition explains the freshening up of our logo. This was a direct result of Tom Peter's “Re-Imagine” talk in Thailand. It is no use freshening up the logo and just carrying on regardless in the same old vein. Along with the new logo, we have embarked on a campaign to deliver to everyone who deals with TopTurf, internally and externally, an 'Amazing Experience'. This campaign has no time line. It is an additional value for which the TopTurf logo now stands.

If we are not delivering an Amazing Experience, I want to be the first to know about it!
 

OUR BRANDING RE-DEFINED


 

A logo is an emblem or device used as the badge of an organisation. It should represent what the organisation stands for and it should appeal to the target audience. Logos can be critical for building and reinforcing the company's identity. Logos often become symbols which reflect the inner spirit of a company at a deep and unspoken level.

We at TopTurf are no exception and we don't pay mere lip service. We believe very strongly in the strength of our brand and what it stands for. We have developed from a sod supplier to a multi-disciplinary 'greens' company offering a seamless menu of greens services to a host of clients locally and internationally.

The Humming bird is the brand character which we believe best typifies our characteristics.

It is a busy, active bird, quick and alert and goes to great lengths to properly carry out its pollinating role in helping beautify the face of nature.

It is the only bird in the world able to fly backwards thus traveling back and forth with the minimum of effort in order to cover as much territory as possible without missing a wing beat.

It is also known to be “quality conscious” in that it does not obtain nectar from flowers willy-nilly, but only from those worthy of its attention.

To this end, we have recoloured and remodeled this amazing little bird. This redefinition is synonymous with our own commitment to change for better and our 'gearing' directed at delivering “the amazing experience."

We truly believe that the new logo will brighten our sign writing, corporate stationery and also our attitudes and relationships.
