ISG Expands Network With Launch Of Sub-Saharan Operation

ISG has opened an office in Johannesburg, South Africa as part of its continuing international expansion strategy. This latest addition to ISG’s office network will enable the contractor to service both multi-national and locally-based clients and provides the company with a springboard into the Sub-Saharan African region – with its strong future growth potential.

The office will be headed by returning South African Craig Weatherhead, who has over 17 years’ senior management experience at a London-based design & build practice, and the business will target global brands looking to establish a presence across the continent, providing consistent and high quality construction services solutions.

Craig Weatherhead commented: “Johannesburg is the ideal location for ISG’s latest office, with its well-developed banking system, infrastructure and experience of wider African trading. The business potential for the continent is well documented and we are now ideally placed to service the requirements of multi-national clients that are looking to take advantage of emerging economic opportunities.”

David Lawther, ISG’s Chief Executive, added: “The expansion of our international network to service the Sub-Saharan African region, alongside a further office we are about to open in Qatar, is a strategic decision based on our predictions of growth within this part of the world. Providing our multi-national clients with consistency of service delivery, regardless of geography, is a key tenet of the business and we will continue to explore opportunities to systematically expand our international network to mirror our client’s ambitions.”
