Anthonie de Beer has been group CEO of Reunert for five months, and he has already outlawed an excuse. In the six months to 31 March 2026, group operating profit fell 23% to R453-million and headline earnings per share dropped 22% to 185c, while the interim dividend was held flat at 90c. The segment accounts for 55% of Reunert’s revenue but under a quarter of the combined operating profit of its three reporting segments. On 29% of group revenue, it delivered more than half of the three segments’ combined operating profit before central costs. The UK move, Godlonton said, is “to deliver services from South Africa as part of our global business services”.
