Five Star has roots as far back as 1993 when it was registered as a closed corporation by
its founder Mrs E.M Barkley.
The first contract awarded to the company was Consolidated Wires Industries, which cov
ered the full cleaning contract, garden maintenance service as well as weed-control inside
the stock yards, security, and factory area.
As a company we have proudly maintained this contract up to 2020.
During 2002 the company saw a major but smooth transition. Not only retaining all cur
rent contracts, but also expanding in both contracts and interest.
The new owners, the Bruwer family, acquired the company and it was registered as a Pty
Ltd, bringing on board an expansion in ownership as well as Directorship and a wealth of
experience from within the company as well as from outside the company.
Boasting with full-time employed Directors as well as a management team, which are
totally committed to see the company continuing its growth, as well as assuring that all
our clients are treated as business partners and associates.
We are certain that are our past and existing clients will attest that we always walk the
extra mile, and together with our clients we are always adapting, working to seamlessly
integrate with every client, seeking methods and systems to suit every need of our clien
tele.
The owners, directors, managers, supervisors, foreman and employees have
always prided themselves in their level of professionalism and excellence in
jointly having more than seventy years’ experience in the industry, it is surely to
be be enforced even more stringently in the future.
Popularly known as Fanie, this man has many yeas experience in the industry and operates as
fellow shareholder of the company.
Well versed especially in the garden service industry, which he personally oversees, his meticulous attention to detail also packs a punch in the overseeing of the cleaning department.
With great technical knowledge he can often be found with his sleeves rolled up, lending a
hand wherever it may be needed, up to his elbows in grease.
Very rarely do you find a person who can walk from a meeting with a client negotiating con
tracts, onto a site to personally oversee every job. Very rarely do you find a person who takes a
meeting with his bank manager just as serious as discussing pool chemicals or plant care with
his clients.
He is well known for the extra mile he walks for his clients, employees, family, and friends.
Every client has Fanie’s personal telephone number, and he is always willing to assist at any
hour of the day or night, going above and beyond contractual limits.
He daily truly makes a difference in the lives of those around him.
Loved and respected in the industry, we are proud to stand behind him as the Managing Director of Five Star Contractual Services
