Our Mission
“Take care of your people and your people will take care of you”
-Jeff Whiteman, president and CEO of Empire Southwest.
JTB’s core ethos centres around humanitarianism. After all, it’s people as a collective, community, family or group that makes any successful endeavour possible. Focusing on the human element at all times, enables us to make more meaningful decisions, establish higher levels of integrity and evolve from simply providing – to being compassionate and responsible.
We are acutely aware that through providing work for one employee, we are feeding at least another three people,- therefore, our primary responsibility is to and for, our work ‘family’.
Our Vision
“To be the preferred, specialised, multidisciplinary procurement and logistics partner, to the sectors that we serve.”
Our rapid growth can be attested to our customers’ and suppliers’ trust in us and our commitment to providing solutions to improving their respective pursuits.
“People buy from people that they know, like, and trust”
– Bob Burg, Endless Referrals (Book)
We believe in not only being honest, fair or providing products and services – but rather see ourselves as, dedicated, ethical, partners of choice in the larger business community.
