Power employment recruitment agency Mecs Africa has reaped great value from contacts established through previous Investing in African Mining Indabas and is, therefore, looking forward to connecting with new companies and individuals in the mining sector, Mecs Africa MD Roland Glass tells Mining Weekly.

He highlights the indaba as an internationally recognised event in the mining industry, which offers attendees global business development opportunities. With this in mind, Glass says this year’s indaba, which is running at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from February 3 to 6, will remain an important event on the company’s corporate calendar.

Mecs Africa has participated in the Mining Indaba for the last four years and will deliver a presentation together with the National Occupational Safety Association.

“We are also looking forward to attending the sessions, which Ministers from South Africa and other African countries will also be attending. These presentations give Mecs Africa a better understanding of the Ministers’ views and policies, while highlighting other opportunities that exist for us in the African mining sector,” says Glass.

He adds that attending the talks delivered by mining companies’ CEOs are also valuable, as it helps Mecs Africa understand current and future projects in which the company could potentially become involved.

Glass adds that the indaba provides companies and individuals with the opportunity to network productively and it enables Mecs Africa to set up meetings with existing and potential new clients.

“We hope that the 2014 Mining Indaba will enable our company to interact with other companies and individuals involved in the mining sector. We further wish to create an awareness about our recruitment and project support services, which we offer throughout Africa,” says Glass.

Further, Mecs Africa is planning to showcase its various services for large-scale role-players in the industry and hopes to educate them on the value proposition that the company can offer to enhance and improve business performance.

“We are looking forward to meeting with existing clients and to building new business relationships to continue developing our business,” says Glass, adding that the indaba also provides an opportunity to interact with others on a social level at the various networking events.

Glass adds that the Mining Indaba creates global awareness about the mining industry in Africa and the opportunities that the continent has to offer.

“Partnerships are created, which result in Mecs Africa being able to provide a greater, more innovative service for its clients.”

He recognises the indaba as a well-organised, professional event that Mecs Africa always looks forward to. “We expect that this year’s Mining Indaba will be yet another world-class event,” he says.
