Registered Employers’ Organisation since 1998
Registered in 1998, CEO is an influential employers’ organisation, providing representation for employers in labour disputes in diverse labour forums as well as collective or sectoral bargaining in various industries and bargaining councils.
CEO has a national footprint of offices and a membership base of over 18,000 employers, including private and public entities, from SMMEs (Small, Medium and Micro-Sized Enterprises) to large businesses across South Africa. Our experience enables us to effectively deal with labour related issues on behalf of the employer.
And in the same way that unions represent employees, employers require a professional and expert-driven organisation to represent them in CCMA and Bargaining Council matters – which form part of the modern-day labour environment.
They need an employers’ organisation with a voice that makes a difference. CEO, with a large membership in various industries and a wealth of experience, is that voice.

Thank you.
I would just like to bring to your attention the outstanding service we had from James Guthrie-Strachan. It was a pleasure working with him. He helped us tremendously and always went the extra mile. Your Company should be very proud to have him as a staff member.
Thank you CEO
Tammy, thanks for all your excellent work on this case. I will definitely request you in the future.
Baie goeie diens van Noel en Jaundre in Bloemfontein ontvang.
I would like to thank you from Lesedi Management in the way that you handled our case. We look forward to working with you in the future.
Hi Engela, Thank you for the time you invested in assisting us on Monday – I was nervous that I was not there myself, but the team assured me that you were fantastic and handled the matter as if it was your own.
I received a call from Tammy and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I am happy she is aware of the problem, and can assist if it goes further. Thanks for assisting. Much appreciated.
Tiaan, it is a real pleasure interacting with a professional person that is compassionate & understanding.
Tiaan, I just want to say thank you for all your help that you gave to me in making this case a successful one. Without you and your legal expertise, this favourable award granted to us by the CCMA would not have been possible.
Sumari, On behalf of our Principal, Mr Percy Sago, Council and the rest of the Management staff of the College, I want to convey our sincere gratitude and thanks to you for the professional manner in which you handled this particular case for us. We are delighted with the positive outcome of this matter and the fact that the award was handed down in our favour. We will definitely recommend your services.
Tiaan, I am very happy , thanks for your professional manner in your case presentation and your assistance in handling this case
I just want to compliment Tarien Conradie on a job well done at the CCMA today. She was very well prepared for the case we had in Vereeniging. Although the applicant had a union representative present with all kinds of controversial demands, he did not stand a chance against Tarien who overshadowed him in all aspects of the case. I was barely needed and Tarien could have handled this case on her own without me being there. Well done to her.
Christie, We as Debar Ceramics would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the provisional and thorough manner that you handled the case at CCMA. It was a great and eye opening experience to spend time with you in this regard, we can recommend you to be a asset to any company for legal assistance. We do appreciate your effort in preparing this case and your follow-up work.
PHG Group hereby confirms that the company, CEO, acted on behalf of us in a CCMA affair. The preparation of the matter was very thorough and Carlene van der Lith gave absolutely outstanding work.
We have pleasure to confirm that Ruwacon (Proprietary) Limited has been a client of CEO since June 2015. During this time, its very competent team has assisted us with various labour related matters. We look forward to many more years with CEO as part of our team.
Thank you Engela for your professional assistance. This was the best result I expected. Really appreciate it.
We thank you for all your help, it is highly appreciated. We also applaud the professional manner you handled our case and the excellent service we got from your offices and personnel.

Stephen, on behalf of WAM’s members and management, a big THANK YOU for what your organisation has done for us in our CCMA case. The highest compliments must go to Casper Geustyn who has done a superb job in representing us. We are extremely grateful for having such a competent and talented representative and we would definitely recommend Casper and CEO to any employer that ever need to deal with any labour related disputes.
We would just like to thank Tarien for the amazing job she did today. The way she handled our staff, i.e. 2 directors and senior manager, as well as our case, was totally out of this world. Thanks Tarien for your time and effort – it is greatly appreciated as we are extremely impressed with the job you did today.
