Ngobeni is a graduate of the Property Point enterprise and supplier development programme, a Growthpoint Properties initiative. “I am humbled and honoured to be part of the Property Point family. I am thankful for all the mentorship, support, guidance and opportunities that Property Point is continually opening for me. Thank you for believing in me,” says Ngobeni.

Integrico provides facilities management services and specialises in building maintenance and repair services, corporate cleaning services and garden maintenance. It was established in 2006 and has since built up an impressive track record driven by its brand promise of “creating and maintaining beautiful spaces…on hand, on time”.

Job creation and empowerment

Integrico is a 100% black woman-owned business that understands its responsibility for job creation and empowerment. No matter the size or location of a project, it seeks opportunities to include and up-skill members of the local community, wherever possible.

Ngobeni says that one of the most important lessons she has learned on her business journey so far is that your background doesn't define who you are, and your destiny. Rather, faith in God, hard work, perseverance and focus does. “I don’t believe in victims, only victors. Don’t grant poverty the authority to define your destiny. You were made for greatness. There is no champion without a fight, the obstacles you face are the stepping stones that are guiding you to your great destiny.”
