Pontsho Chauke, who was previously with Old Mutual where she managed a team of eight reps, and Dolly Itumeleng, who has moved across from Cape Union Mart where she worked at managerial level at various branches, both join Sparks & Ellis as sales executives. They will report to manager, Carol Sikhosana, at the new Johannesburg branch. Sikhosana has been with the group for over five years and gained experience at store and head office level. The new team’s mission is to re-establish and reinforce the Sparks & Ellis brand in the northern region.

Sparks & Ellis’s MD, Sue de Wet explains: “The uniform market is becoming more diverse and complex all the time and we believe we need to be on the ground in Jozi for our many Gauteng clients. As a Cape based operation, we want to provide a more focused and dedicated service and, of course, we’re very excited about the opportunity to build our business in the Gauteng area.”

The new Sparks & Ellis showroom is just off Marlboro Drive.
