GIBB has, for more than half a century been at the forefront of development in Africa. Our Vision is to be a world-class Africa-based solutions provider of infrastructure planning, design and delivery. Our Mission is to provide infrastructure planning, design and delivery solutions, in Africa, using international best practices and our insight and knowhow on the continent. We continuously seek ways to optimise the delivery cycle and finish our projects within budget and on time. GIBB has an ownership structure that is constituted of two trusts. The Broad-Based Ownership Trust owns 67% whilst the General Staff Trust owns 33%. This qualifies GIBB as a truly 100% employee-owned African firm, reaffirming it’s ethos of ensuring a broader and more meaningful participation of previously disadvantaged groups in South Africa’s active economy.

GIBB creates capacity in the broader industry, through promoting and investing in education and skills development. On-going training and skills development is critical to GIBB amid an operating environment characterised by a shortage of engineering skills. GIBB recognises the long term benefits of keeping employees motivated and more adept. GIBB is committed to providing opportunities for further education, learning and development activities. GIBB recognises the need to invest in Small Enterprises that could support large complex projects in the engineering consulting sector. GIBB is affiliated to various professional and industry bodies. GIBB’s story began in the United Kingdom in the 1900's. The multi-disciplinary approach is still core to the business today and continues to reap rewards. This period marked the implementation of the first five-year strategy, with a major change in the structure of the team. GIBB was one of the first firms in the sector to develop and implement the new paradigm for broad-based employee ownership models. To date, the model still forms the core of GIBB’s ownership structure. In line with the new strategy developed in 2011, the vision of GIBB evolved to becoming a world-class provider of infrastructure planning, design and delivery. GIBB is a proudly South African employee-owned firm that embraces the principles of sustainable transformation, diversity and inclusiveness. At GIBB, we believe that sustainable transformation is beyond mere compliance. It’s about winning the hearts and minds of our people and our communities, and enabling our country to gain strength through diversity. We are fully committed to strengthening the national business landscape, and the well-being and development of our people and communities.
