WBHO - Developer
The origins of the present group go back to 1970 with the formation of the company Wilson-Holmes (Pty) Ltd. In 1983 they merged with Peter Bayly Construction, to form Wilson Bayly Holmes (Pty) Ltd.
Ovcon was founded in 1975 in Cape Town and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1992.
In 1994 Wilson Bayly Holmes took a strategic interest in Ovcon which ultimately led to the merging of the two groups now known as Wilson Bayly Holmes-Ovcon.
The driving force behind the company is a core of dedicated, hands-on management professionals whose experience spans decades of major construction projects in Southern Africa, The Middle East and the Indian Ocean islands. The fact that the management and staff hold 80% of the shares in the company means the industry can be assured of 100% commitment.
