In the late 90s, Nicole, Harvey\u2019s daughter, together with the support of her husband, Charles Barth, helped lead Harvey\u2019s into its next chapter. Throughout that journey, Phillip Coles, affectionately known to everyone as \u201cBallie\u201d, has remained a constant and respected presence, standing alongside Nicole for almost the entire journey. Having been with Harvey\u2019s since 1994, Phillip has served as Head Foreman and has become far more than just a senior member of the team. He is a true father figure within the business; someone who has trained, guided, and shaped generations of Harvey\u2019s staff with patience, pride, and years of experience. This includes Gerard Robertson, whom Phillip took under his wing when Gerard joined Harvey\u2019s as a youngster.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-43497\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-326x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"326\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-326x400.jpg 326w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-835x1024.jpg 835w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-768x941.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-1253x1536.jpg 1253w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-1671x2048.jpg 1671w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-343x420.jpg 343w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-696x853.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1-1068x1309.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Built-on-family_Pic1.jpg 1701w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/><\/a>More than just business<\/strong><br \/>\nToday, the legacy lives on.
