About the Speaker:

Andrew Bizzell - has a BSc in Business Studies from Oxford Brookes University and is one of the founders of BEESA Group. He is responsible for the marketing of BEESA and heads up the Johannesburg branch of BEESA.

Andrew is also the founder of Institute of Enterprise Development a non-profit solution to provide financial and non-financial support to qualifying enterprise development beneficiaries. Andrew has 13 years experience working in South Africa, United Kingdom, France and Switzerland. Prior to BEESA he was Resources Manager for Standard Bank, KZN. He has also held senior posts with Esander Building Society, Sweden, Oxygen Finance, UK, MIC Group, UK and Directory4, UK.

Andrew has had extensive exposure to a large number of businesses and industries around the world. He has seen an opportunity to use this experience in South Africa and has focused his attention on the development of business solutions to service the growing number of Small and Medium enterprises (SME) in South Africa. He believes BEE will become a key factor in the future success of any business. Andrew has worked closely with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to identify the best ways to communicate the effect of implementation of BEE in South Africa. To this end Andrew has consulted to numerous corporate entities on formulating BEE strategy and implementing that strategy throughout the organisation.
