Exporters Western Cape is in the process of changing its name, according to chairman Terry Gale.He says the organisation will soon be known as Exporters Association Western Cape. “We have a new, young and very vibrant committee on board who are hungry to see our economy grow.”Established more than 40 years ago, the organisation has played an important role in helping the exporter and business community by providing information, both commercial and financial, and keeping its members up to date regarding current events taking place within the global market.According to Gale, the organisation also acts as a forum for members to voice their concerns or offer input on a variety of topics relating to the export industry. And its monthly events serve as an important networking tool for major role players in the industry.More importantly, says Gale, the association allows for collaboration and co-operation in the Western Cape not just for the private sector but also for local, provincial and national government. “Because it is when we collaborate, co-operate and all work together towards a common goal that we can achieve greatness. It is out there, just waiting.”We have a new, young and very vibrant committee on board who are hungry to see our economy grow.– Terry Gale
