Mossel Bay business wins big in Joburg

MOSSEL BAY NEWS - A Mossel Bay business, VE Reticulation, has won big at the Herholdts Group’s annual customer awards, recently held in Johannesburg.

VE Reticulation walked away with five national awards, including the Project of the Year award for their 10 megawatt solar plant and 10 megawatt battery storage system in Riversdale for the Hessequa Municipality, as well as Premium Partner of the Year, Electrical Contractor of the Year, Energy Storage Leader Utility and Emerging Market Leader.

Director of VE Reticulation, Jurgens Bosman, said the awards came as a huge surprise.

“It is the first time that we have engaged with the Herholdts Group and it is amazing that we could walk away with so many awards. It is definitely a feather in Mossel Bay’s cap that a local company can kick dust in the eyes of the large national role players,” he said.

In 2025, VE Reticulation won Business of the Year at the Mossel Bay Business Chamber Awards in the large business category.
