About Us

Keith Barends started KB & Associates on the 19th of March 2003. Keith
focussed his efforts in building an associate base, building up a client base,
as well as becoming accredited as a training provider with the Services SETA
and was granted Institutional Accreditation in October 2003

In December 2004, KB & Associates strategically aligned themselves with
Western Cape Corporate Placements; a recruitment agency based in Cape
Town with a large corporate client base and moved its offices to Central
Cape Town. A first milestone in gaining market share within skills
development in the year 2004 was being granted the contract as the
exclusive training providers in the Western Cape for the Small Business
Services Qualification by the Services SETA (New Venture Creation
qualification), amongst other smaller contracts.

KB & Associates is growing steadily and this is due to the methodology of
providing effective solutions by qualified specialists that are in line with their
client’s overall goals and objectives & service excellence from an
organisation with sound leadership.

Four years later Keith has successfully maintained his business and has
expanded his client base to include government institutions, small and
emerging businesses as well non-governmental organisations.
