"As a consulting partner, the combination of Alwyn's integrity as a person and his passion to teach or transfer knowledge has been our biggest gain. The broad set of skills available to us through the Marathon team and their network has given our company access to detail and resources that enables quick and informed decisions.

We are going through a fast growth phase that puts immense pressure on internal resources. This, combined with many of the business formalisations that we were busy implementing with Marathon, meant that we had too few people to do too many things. In times like this, the real value of your people and the caliber of your partners are highlighted. From this perspective, I would gladly refer Marathon to my friends and our clients in a similar fashion that I present our own company's solutions."

"The most important attribute about Alwyn is that I trust his judgement and his integrity. He is down to earth and has a solid understanding of financial environments. I also have to make mention of Gerhard, the business analyst, who has added tremendous value to the task and is a pleasure to work with.

When we first spoke to Marathon, I said:
Don't tell me what all is wrong in my business - I know this
Don't tell me what I need to do to fix it - I know this too
Implement the solutions.
They did this.

It has taken some time but there are no quick fixes. If someone is prepared to commit to a relationship, I would recommend Marathon based on the fact that an engagement is not just a meal ticket for them but the integrity of a real team effort."

"Marathon are contracted on an ad hoc basis, assisting us with capacity building, strategic planning and drafting of management and policy documents. The quality of their intellectual property, their processes and the value that they add contributes to the success of any company and we are glad to make them part of our long term process.

We can associate with a company like Marathon. Quality in all and ethical conduct are two values that are very important to uniWines. We find these attributes in Reinier Matthee and Marathon."
