| Introduction |
Bidvest continues to innovate and reinvent the way in which it does business. The dynamic Bidvest environment fosters an entrepreneurial spirit that permeates the Group.
Being Proudly Bidvest was showcased as never before in 2007 as we expanded into Asia via the acquisition of Angliss with operations in Singapore, Hong Kong and China. At the same time, growth was again achieved by our international and South African operations. Asian workers join a Bidvest family of businesses that stretch from Beijing to Belgium and from Dubai to Durban.
For the first time, our staff complement has topped the 104 000-mark, moving from 93 325 to 104 184; (78 029 to 87 833 in South Africa) a reflection of our continued growth and the strength of our commitment to South Africa’s national strategy of sharing the benefits of improved economic performance through job creation and the delivery of new opportunities to working people.
Headline earnings per share rose by 20,6% to 970,0 cents per share while diluted headline earnings per share increased by 23,2% to 947,2 cents per share. At 446,4 cents per share, distributions per share are up by 21,0%. |
