3 Chairmans Report Voorsittersverslag INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INLEIDING DOELWITTE EN PRESTASIE The governance structures implemented by the company and the strive towards improved communication with stakeholders lay the platform for a resilient year in terms of the achievement of the goals of the company. The implementation of a dedicated marketing department has managed to grow the marketing initiatives exponentially year by year and make a meaningful contribution to the good price level of the fibre across all sectors. SUSTAINABILITY AND RISK The continuous monitoring of the financial, environmental and economic risks remain vitally important, not only for the company, but for the industry as a whole. The upward trend in mohair production continued during 2013 with a year on year increase of 3.4%. The price levels for the 2013 year continued to be buoyant across all sectors of the clip, with positive economic spin-offs for mohair producers. THE COMPANY AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board consists of 10 non-executive directors. The position of chairman and general manager is separated and the board continues to make use of several committees to assist the board in discharging its responsibilities. The directors are no longer remunerated in terms of a honorarium across the board, with only the chairman and vice-chairman receiving a honorarium. All board members are remunerated in the form of a day fee for work performed as well as a reimbursive travel payment for business kilometers travelled. The term of office of Messrs A.R. Hobson and A. Oelofse expired, with Messrs M. Shires and A.A.P. Greeff being appointed in their stead. Mr Colin Martins replaced Mr Jurie Martins as the farm worker s representative, whom sadly passed away during the year. Mr R. du Randt continued to act as chairman and Mr P. van der Vyver as vice-chairman during the year. The marketing initiatives embarked upon continued to focus on the main objective of the company, which is the marketing and promotion of the mohair fibre. The company continued to focus strongly on strategic alliances with global role-players within the mohair industry. The design and registration of a new trademark identity for mohair was concluded during the year, laying the platform for the roll-out of a new consumer facing mark. The presence at tradeshows, both locally and internationally, continued to be a strong focus of the marketing initiatives. Tradeshows are carefully selected and the stands designed to focus on the specific target audience. The collaboration with international universities continued during 2013, with preliminary discussions initiated in China to form a collaboration to reach the younger generation and design fraternity. The second international Mohair Summit took place during the latter half of 2013 in Jansenville, Eastern Cape. The summit created the platform for dialogue and healthy debate amongst industry role-players. The continued communication with role-players within the industry as well as the media and consumers across the globe remained a high priority, with the role of social media playing an ever increasing role. OUR PEOPLE The dedication of the staff to perform their duties to the advantage of the industry has to be commended. With a small team we have managed to execute the objectives of the company with great success. CONCLUSION The good spirit of co-operation between the industry organizations have to be mentioned, with issues affecting the broader industry being discussed amongst all role-players. I wish to thank my fellow directors for their continued support and dedication throughout the year. Die beheerstrukture wat deur die maatskappy ge-implementeer is, en die strewe daarna om verbeterde kommunikasie met ons belangegroepe te ontwikkel, het die fondasies gelê vir n veerkragtige jaar om die maatskappy se doelwitte te bereik. Die implementering van n toegewyde bemarkingsdepartement het daarin geslaag dat die bemarkinginisiatiewe jaar na jaar eksponensiaal gegroei het en gevolglik n betekenisvolle bydrae maak tot die goeie prysvlak van die vesel oor al die sektore. VOLHOUBAARHEID EN RISIKO Die voortdurende monitoring van die finansiële, omgewings-en ekonomiese risiko s bly steeds van die allergrootste belang, nie net vir die maatskappy nie, maar vir die bedryf in sy geheel. Die opwaartste neiging in sybokhaarproduksie het gedurende 2013 voortgeduur, met n jaar op jaar styging van 3.4%. Die prysvlakke vir die 2013 jaar het voortgeduur om te floreer oor al die sektore van die skeersel, met positiewe ekonomiese voordele vir sybokhaarprodusente. DIE MAATSKAPPY EN DIREKSIE Die direksie bestaan uit tien nie-uitvoerende direkteure. Die posisie van voorsitter en hoofbestuurder is geskei en die direksie het voortgegaan om gebruik te maak van verskeie komitees om hul by te staan om uitvoering te gee aan hulle pligte. Die direksie in sy geheel ontvang nie langer n vergoeding in die vorm van n honorarium nie. Slegs die voorsitter en die ondervoorsitter ontvang n honorarium. Alle direkteure ontvang vergoeding gebasseer op n dagfooi vir werk verrig, sowel as n terugbetaling vir besigheidskilometers afgelê. Die ampstermyn van mnre A.R. Hobson en A. Oelofse het verstryk en mnre M. Shires en AAP Greeff is in hul plek aangestel. Mnr Colin Martins het Mnr Jurie Martins vervang as die plaaswerkers se verteenwoordiger, na sy tragiese afsterwe gedurende die jaar. Mnr. R. du Randt het voortgegaan om as voorsitter te dien en Mnr. P. du P van der Vyver as ondervoorsitter. Die inisiatiewe wat deur bemarking onderneem is het volgehou om te fokus op die hoofdoel van die maatskappy, naamlik die bemarking en bevordering van sybokhaar vesel. Die maatskappy het voortgeduur om sterk te fokus op strategiese verbintenisse met internasionale rolspelers binne die sybokhaarbedryf. Die ontwerp en registrasie van n nuwe handelsmerk of identiteit vir sybokhaar is ook gedurende die jaar gefinaliseer, wat die fondasie lê vir die bekendstelling van n nuwe verbruikershandelsmerk. Die teenwoordigheid by handelsskoue op beide die plaaslike en internasionale vlak, is voortdurend n sterk fokus van die bemarkingsinisiatiewe. Handelskoue word noukeurig gekies en die tentoonstellingsarea word so ontwerp om die fokus op spesifieke teikengroepe te rig. Die samewerking met internasionale universiteite het in 2013 voortgeduur, terwyl voorlopige onderhandelinge in Sjina geïnisieer is om n samewerkingsooreenkoms te vorm gerig op die jonger geslag en ontwerpersgemeenskap. Die tweede internasionale Sybokhaarberaad het in Jansenville, Oos-Kaap, plaasgevind gedurende die tweede helfte van Die beraad het n grondslag vir dialoog en gesonde debat onder die bedryfs-rolspelers geskep. Die voortgesette kommunikasie gerig aan rolspelers in die bedryf, sowel as die media en verbruikers wêreldwyd bly n hoë prioriteit, terwyl die rol wat die sosiale media speel aansienlik groter word. ONS PERSONEEL Die personeel se toewyding om hul pligte uit te voer ten bate van die bedryf verdien erkenning. Ten spyte van n klein personeel, het ons daarin geslaag om die doelwitte van die maatskappy baie suksesvol uit te voer. AFSLUITING Die goeie gees van samewerking tussen die bedryfsorganisasies is hoogs noemenswaardig, met kwessies wat die wyer bedryf beïnvloed wat deur die rolspelers bespreek word. Ek bedank graag my mede- direkteure vir hul volgehoue ondersteuning en toewyding gedurende die jaar. 4 YEAR IN REVIEW 2013 YEAR IN REVIEW
