JHI & JHI Retail Embraces New Brand Identity as Excellerate JHI & Excellerate JHI Retail

JHI and JHI Retail are excited to announce that as of 7 June 2019, the company will be rebranded to Excellerate JHI and Excellerate JHI Retail. This is part of a wider shift within the group whereby the existing alliance and co-branding with Cushman & Wakefield will end on 6 June 2019. The company will continue to operate in its current structure with the only change being the new corporate identity which will be reflected on all brand touchpoints.

The new corporate identity is already being embraced by staff with the launch of an internal campaign ‘Going Green’. This ties into the new corporate colour and speaks to the need for business and individuals to ensure that they are committed to preserving the environment for the future.

Boasting specialist retail skills and experience, their mission will remain to optimise the shopping centres of today, and future proof them for tomorrow. The company currently manages centres ranging in size from 3 000m² to 160 000m², with more than 345 shopping centres in their portfolio.

Excellerate Property Services, a leader in its field, provides property services for investors and occupiers across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. The client base includes multinational corporates, public sector organisations, developers, funds, institutions and private investors.

“We are thrilled to announce the rebrand to Excellerate JHI & Excellerate JHI Retail, which reflects the dynamic partnership between these two companies and our continued commitment to excellence,” says Nomzamo Radebe, CEO.
In the lead up to this change, late last year, Excellerate Property Services announced a joint venture with global partner CBRE. This joint venture will be known as CBRE Excellerate. CBRE is a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company headquartered in Los Angeles and is the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm.

“As part of the JV, several of Excellerate’s businesses, including corporate real estate services, facilities management, valuation and project management services as well as property management services outside of South Africa will merge with CBRE’s facilities management operations in Africa, the Middle East and North Africa,” notes Radebe.

Excellerate’s property management operations (Excellerate JHI & Excellerate JHI Retail) in South Africa and the soft-services business (Excellerate Services), including cleaning, security, parking and catering services across Africa, will not be part of the joint venture partnership.
