Gawk Visual Engineers were a finalist in the Nedbank Business Accelerator with 702 initiative, which helps successful and established entrepreneurs take their businesses to the next level by giving them a platform to share their stories and insights on air. With a little help from business growth specialist Pavlo Phitidis, the initiative gave entrepreneurs key insights on how to insulate their businesses from external forces.
Gawk designs and builds eye-catching, modular tension-fabric displays including 3D towers, freestanding billboards, backdrops, exhibition booths, counters, walls and more using basic components.
Gawk on being finalists
Sandro Corrado, Director at Gawk said, ‘Being a finalist in this year’s edition of the Nedbank/702 Business Accelerator not only gave us enormous exposure in a prime-time broadcast slot, it also validated the work that Gawk is doing in bringing 100% South African designed and manufactured products to both local and global markets.
‘Entrepreneurship can often be a lonely road into the unknown, and being selected as one of 20 companies amongst many hundreds of applicants is definitely a feather in our cap, reinforcing our passion in disrupting the status quo in the portable branding and exhibition space. I couldn’t be more proud of our small but very effective team at Gawk, whose daily commitment ensures that we bring quality and innovative branding solutions to market.
‘It is encouraging to know that our hard work is being noticed and, slowly but surely, South African big business is doing something about stimulating homegrown industry and products that not only shine locally – they are exceptional enough to compete globally.’
