OUR STORY

Vanpot Holdings was conceived in the mind of a dreamer with a vision to change the world around him.

Aligned with the unapologetic hunger for excellence of its founder, VANPOT HOLDINGS has developed into a group of companies that lead by example, each known for its industry-leading professionalism and customer-centric service delivery.

VANPOT HOLDINGS started in 2019 as a special purpose vehicle to consolidate the investments and holdings of its shareholder, Richard Potgieter.

VANPOT HOLDINGS is known for its high standards that  disrupts a bouquet of well-established industries through service levels that challenge legacy service standards, and through innovative commercial models that challenge the established norm.

We are proud to share that we are very deliberate about our choices of staff, equipment, materials, ingredients and processes; we only associated ourselves with the best!

We embrace transparency.  We believe that it is imperative for anyone dealing with our group to know what they can expect before engaging with us.

We consider it an honour to deliver to you, our customers, only the finest products and customer experiences.  We promise that we will deliver our products and services in a way and to a standard that we take pride in.

RICHARD POTGIETER

Founder and Managing Director of the Vanpot Holdings group.

Richard is a South African-born investor and entrepreneur.  Richard’s career path has exposed him to many industries and disciplines.  He is not frightened by concepts that are foreign to him, rather he recognises them as learning opportunities.
