Meet the
Team
The GTCOC is a Chamber deeply committed to the community of the Vaal Triangle. Our focus is on driving economic growth by attracting new businesses, promoting tourism, and hosting impactful events. We believe that a strong local economy directly contributes to improving the quality of life for all residents.
Through various social projects, the GTCOC creates an environment where a thriving workforce can live, play, and stay. Our members work together to beautify the Vaal by tackling infrastructure challenges such as potholes, electrical faults, sewerage concerns, and waste management.
Advocating for the business community, the GTCOC negotiates on key issues like service delivery, tax disputes, and anti-corruption efforts. We also represent private businesses at local municipal meetings, striving to inform, educate, and advocate on your behalf.
As a united business community, the GTCOC offers a platform to build and strengthen your business network within our extensive member base, supporting growth and collaboration.
Our dedicated management team, each bringing unique expertise, shares a passion for both the Vaal Triangle and the Chamber’s mission, working tirelessly to make a lasting impact.
