Neil at the Goscor Annual Charity golf day

I am amazed once again at the resilience of our Goscor Group. Neil at the year end function
The extremely tough economic climate in SA still did not prevent
Goscor from showing growth in 2018. That is a great
achievement, and a testament to the resilience of our businesses,
the diversification of our portfolio of different companies, and of
course the commitment and dedication of our staff to make it
happen. Well done, we can all be truly proud of what we have
achieved!

We are already well into our 5th trading month of 2019, and we
all feel every day that the tough conditions have carried over
from last year. However, I have new hope and optimism that,
with elections just taken place, there is potential for better
conditions in the second half of this year.

we will see that change. The only way we are going to see an

Goscor donates stationery to the Sparrows Foundation

A s the 2019 school year commenced our team brought smiles to the faces of the pupils at

Message from the top
As expected, we have had a slow start to the year, with January only having two trading
weeks. We expect the first quarter of 2019 to be tough, exacerbated by the elections.
Generally, there is always a wait-and-see approach whenever an election is looming as
the uncertainty creates a lot of risk for many businesses.

However, we must remain positive and with the right attitude and the team spirit we
have, we can only but succeed and look forward to a rewarding 2019.

At GLTC, we believe that shedding tears over missed opportunities of a quarter gone by
only clouds one’s vision and may cause us to miss out on opportunities of the present
and the near future.

Those who know me will remember that I refuse to participate in negativity.

I always look on the bright side. Our efficient solutions for our customers are even more
important in these tough times and working even harder to provide them with the
solutions they need is what we do best.

Let me take this opportunity to wish every member of the family a happy and successful

It is with great pride that I announce that despite the tough nature of
the market, at GLTC we managed to reach our targets. Darryl Shafto
The last quarter of the year was a bumper period for us, seeing us
doubling our turnover for the year. Well done to the whole team, it was
such a great effort by all, enabling us to make our forecast.

In concurrence with my letter sent to our customers at the back end of 2018,
I would like to reiterate what the business dictionary describes the words
“Core Values” as: “A principle that guides an organisation’s internal conduct as
well as its relationship with the external world”. 750HH
In an ever evolving and challenging market, our core values at Goscor is what
drives our performance and what sets us apart from the rest. Not only are
these values the principles and pillars of what is important to us as a Website Revamp
business, I do believe that these are the values that our staff live every day
internally and externally.

On the back of living and breathing these core values, our business and the
partnership with our customers have gone from strength to strength in 2018
and this is something that we are truly grateful for.

Our strategy for 2019 is simple. We will strive to be an innovative business that
sets us apart from our competition.

We will be driving sales by having the right team, working hard, and supporting
each other. We know we will not grow when things are easy, we will grow
when we face challenges, and we look forward turning these challenges in
2019 into opportunities.

From Nelspruit to Kathu, SANY is tops!
Marketing Manager Madel Dalla Pria, Nomvelo Buthelezi
from our PR agency NGAGE, and cameraman David Clancy
travelled South Africa for a week in mid-February to capture
video testimonials from clients using SANY machine in a quest
to find out why they have put their trust in the toughest
equipment in South Africa.

Starting in Nelspruit, they met up with Jean Botha to catch up

on how business was going, and to visit a construction
.site where Obzza Construction was busy with roadwork
.projects.
Obzza Construction bought three machines, a SY210
excavator, an SMG200 grader and an STR Roller. Owner
Obert Shikane was really impressed with the exceptional
customer service and quality machines that the Goscor
Nelspruit branch had to offer. He couldn’t stop raving about
the amazing service. Keep it up, guys! Nomvelo Buthelezi interviewing Rudi Burger, Branch manager Kathu

Following the Nelspruit trip, an early morning awaited the

team, which was up-and-about at 04:00 to fly to the
Northern Cape to visit the Goscor Kathu branch and chat to
client Wego Africa. The team was excited to reach their
destination, and get started on the day ahead.
A quick trip to the branch office introduced the team to
manager, Rudi Burger. Scott was very impressed with the
support provided by the team, especially when it came to a
minor issue that arose on-site with a filter.

Quick thinking from the branch saw the issue resolved

speedily, whereafter the machine was up-and-running in no
time at all. The end result was a very happy client, which is
always a great achievement! David Clancy, Videographer; Madel Dalla Pria, Marketing Manager, Nomvelo Bhutelezi, Ngage PR,

Extending SANY range even further in 2019

Despite tough market conditions, Goscor EarthMoving (GEM) achieved significant growth in 2018, and is poised
to extend its SANY range even further in 2019. This includes the addition of an even larger excavator.

“As the fifth-largest construction and related equipment manufacturer in the world, SANY is a major powerhouse,
with impressive technology” says Owen.

Coupled with Goscor and the Bud Group, that makes for a formidable combination,” Owen stresses.

My message to all potential SANY customers is simply to talk to us, as we are here to find the
optimum solution for your specific requirements. Another development on the cards for 2019 is
to showcase the SANY SY335 34 t excavator as an intermediary machine for mining, construction,
and agriculture. This is a highly versatile excavator with broad application.
Owen notes

Message from the MD
The road ahead
E ssentially, 2018 was a year of polar opposites, with both good news and disappointing news
seemingly the order of the day. On the whole, though, we at Bobcat and SANY remain optimistic about
the future of this great country.

We await the 2019 elections eagerly, after which we think that meaningful change will begin to emerge.
So, it may be a long, hard road ahead, fraught with many challenges, but at least we are no longer
charging over the edge of the abyss as we seemed to be prior to December 2017.

In the midst of all this uncertainty, the one thing that remains consistent is Bobcat and SANY’s
commitment to excellence. Are we there yet? No.

Will we ever get there? Probably not. After all, ‘excellence’ implies absolutely no slip-ups or dropped
catches – something that I’ve yet to see in any business, in any part of the world. But a commitment to
excellence is key, as this will bring us ever-closer to perfection. We’ve filled critical posts and,
importantly, replaced staff where we thought we were weak. In particular, we have made some
excellent changes and appointments within our aftermarket team, in recognition of the fact that this is
the most important aspect of our business.
A great business, after all, is about having the best people. And this is our relentless task: We shall not
stop until we have the best possible people in each role in our business. Without this, how can we
possibly strive for greatness? Despite the continued slowdown in the mining and construction
industries, we had a good year in a bad environment. Remember that we are coming off of a relatively
small base, so the fact that the market is difficult at present did not deter our growth. This growth has
been exponential, largely due to the increasing popularity and brand awareness of SANY in Africa in
general.

World Record Attempt
The KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) branch of Bobcat Equipment South Africa was instrumental
in assisting the Pecanwood Oktoberfest Lifestyle Festival in the Midlands attempt a
Guinness World Record attempt for the longest slip-and-slide on Saturday 20 October.

The 1.6-m-wide and 630-m-long trench needed for the slip-and-slide was dug out
over a three-day period with the assistance of a Bobcat S175 skidsteer loader.

Here the main challenge was to dig through the thick wattle-like ground cover, KZN
GM Brian Rachman explains.

The project was simply to sculpt the trench for a

plastic lining to be placed
over it, in order for soapy water to be sluiced
down its length to create the slip-and-slide.

Berg (affectionately know to all of
us as "Jannie") passed away over
Debby Marx's daughter, the festive season. Jannie was
Katie's first ballet concert with the group for 15 years and
was a magnificent parts
Madel Dalla Pria’s
Zola Manyana Bobcat Sales salesman. He was the top
performer in the Bobcat and
SANY stable and it was rare to
have a month go by when the
name of Jannie van den Berg Well done Prince Prince’s first globe edition
Grany shows off her little didn't sit at the top of the parts
man sales tree!
Prince started playing golf
Work hard & play hard
He was dedicated and loyal and
worked extremely hard - despite
the debilitating illness with which
he had to live. Jannie will be
remembered by all of us as a
friendly and helpful person who
was always willing to lend a hand. Kedi & Kasha playing some fosebal Fridays in marketing

Our thoughts are with Jannie's

family and loved ones during
