We are dedicated to providing a seamless, turnkey solution to ensure our clients get the right person, in terms of skill and integrity, at the right time to fulfil their organisational needs. Notwithstanding the name change due to the acquisition of Ernst & Young’s Advisory Secondments business to Secondments, the business has been in existence since 2003. The business was acquired as a going concern with the full staff complement, including all clients. This change broadens the scope of clients that Secondments can offer services to. Following a successful 13-year working relationship with Ernst & Young (EY), Siphiwe Dondolo, Jayson Theron and Carl Endenburg acquired the global audit and advisory firm’s secondment portfolio. Secondments started trading on 1 April 2015 with the full support of the EY Africa Executive Committee.

Eleven per cent (11%) of our company is now in the hands of a Black Ownership Trust, making a real difference to previously disadvantaged individuals. We opted for this in the belief that it would make a significant impact rather than benefit a select few. We are determined not to pay mere lip service to Black Economic Empowerment (BEE). Our Managing Director (MD), Siphiwe Dondolo, owns 40% of the business and was with EY for 9 years prior to moving over to Secondments as a shareholder and as the MD.
