Whilst businesses around the world have had to endure tough times over the last 2 years, businesses in KZN have had the extra burden of looting and flooding to deal with and although there have been a number of business casualties, there are still businesses that are thriving. We have been force fed so much negative news over the last 2 years that we decided to feature some homegrown success stories, right here in the Upper Highway. All these businesses have one thing in common – they are being coached by Kloof based business coaching firm, ActionCOACH Ignite.
