This year's theme was: Are you ready for the future? The managing executive of Senwes Grainlink, Pieter Malan, said: "Remember, we have a decentralised business with the most southern silo at Petrusburg and the most northern one at Middelvlei - the two are approximately 600km apart. It is therefore essential to discuss our strategy on an annual basis. Every one of us at Senwes Grainlink must be ready for the future”. Senwes opens its new conference facilities Senwes officially opened its new conference facilities at head office on 28 February 2018. The new facilities will be known as The Barn. More than 400 names were proposed by personnel, but Eswan Walker's proposal, The Barn, was the winner. Senwes CEO, Francois Strydom and Corné Kruger, CFO, performed the opening ceremony.
