SA success story: FirstRand founders share how they forged a strong relationship

FirstRand founders Laurie Dippenaar, GT Ferreira and Paul Harris share insights on how to forge and maintain long-lasting business partnerships.
Published on: 

FirstRand is one of South Africa's largest financial services groups. It was built by partners GT Ferreira, Laurie Dippenaar and Paul Harris. Their story is shared with BizNews community members in a webinar hosted by BizNews founder Alec Hogg, who asks: where did it all begin? And how did the three-musketeer relationship stand a more-than-four-decades test of time? Well, for starters, their wives got along. The entrepreneurs also talk about how a value system was followed where the business case prevailed over personal prejudice. They discuss how this approach allowed them to embrace their weaknesses, while playing to their strengths. This is part one of a four-part series (you can listen to them share their story or watch the full webinar, below). – Editor
