Senior Admin Assistant - NTK Retail, Tom Burke

Introduction to the VKB Group
The VKB Group is an agricultural company, providing support to farmers and producing straight-from-the farm-foods for consumers. Apart from the various consumer brands, the VKB Group is also represented by its regional brands: VKB, GWK and NTK. Our roots are firmly planted in agriculture with farming at our core, continuously growing and evolving throughout the years.

Starting with providing everything needed on the farm to produce food, we now also operate in all areas of the food supply chain: processing, logistics, and national and global market channels.

This “house of brands” we’ve established with the support of our farmer shareholders is the foundation for building the agribusiness of the future.

Our purpose

Touch lives – for the better: We always aim to make a positive impact in people’s lives: our employees, producers, clients, communities and the larger industry. And, through collaboration with this group of people, we strive to make an even bigger and longer lasting impact in the lives of all South Africans.

Values

We live by five important values:

1. We are HUMBLE: We acknowledge that we are blessed.
2. We are HUNGRY: We do not settle for mediocre.
3. We are BOLD: We do what is right, even if it scares us.
4. We are SMART: We consider our words and actions.
5. We are TEAM PLAYERS: No-one can do this alone.

For the Love of the Land: We do it all for our legacy and the love of nature, people, country, sustainability and progress.
