Dr. John Wentzel, CEO of Adcorp Group, commented on their remarkable achievements, stating, “Two years ago, we embarked on a new strategic direction named ‘Brandshift Adcorp’, signaling the end of the ‘one Adcorp approach’. We recognised that the workforce landscape is evolving, and to remain at the forefront, we needed to adapt. Our purpose is ‘to enable agile, skilled, and focused workforces for the future’, and this required a repositioning as a workforce solutions business. Our success in winning these awards amidst such momentous change is a testament to our vision, purpose, and, most importantly, our people.”
