Business Spotlight: Speedy Printing
When Mark Mkhize first arrived in Johannesburg a decade ago, he needed money. He had left his hometown of Ermelo to study business at university but quickly realized that he needed a job, too. So he found part-time work helping to set up events at hotels, where he was struck by the volume of printed materials he encountered.
“I saw all these conference brochures, job fair announcements, and concert posters,” said Mr. Mkhize. “I started thinking that maybe I should get into this business myself.”
Seeing an opportunity, Mr. Mkhize saved enough money to start a small printing company, Speedy Printing. It took time, however, for him to build a steady business. “I had to knock on a lot of doors in the neighborhood,” he said.
Mr. Mkhize also depended on business contacts he had made in his years in the tourism industry, as well as friends from university. Frederich Grobler, manager of the Fifth Street Queen Hotel, sent work to Speedy Printing and recommended the firm to other local businesses.
“I had only known him casually when we were students, but he really helped me out,” said Mr. Mkhize of Mr. Grobler. “As soon as I got his hotel as a client, other hotels signed on. From there I picked up some museums and local sport teams, and just recently I signed a contract to do regular work for the airport.”
