Entelect began in a university basement where our founder, Charles, connected talented engineering students with his network of businesses seeking technical expertise. This insight – matching exceptional talent with business needs – became our foundation, and we’ve grown from strength to strength ever since.

Since 2001, Entelect has been at the forefront of business transformation, leveraging cutting-edge technology to propel companies from good to great. Originating in Joburg, we’ve expanded to Cape Town, Centurion, Durban, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Australia, uniting over 1500 Entelectuals across three continents.

Today, we deliver end-to-end software solutions and services to enterprise customers through best practices and flexible engagement models tailored to our customers’ needs.

Our proudest achievement is the culture we’ve created for our people. We’ve built an environment that fosters growth, hard work, and meaningful connections – both with colleagues and customers. This culture isn’t just talk; it’s reflected in our retention rates. Last year alone, 74 people celebrated their five-year milestone with Entelect.

Our “Growth isn’t optional” philosophy doesn’t pressure people; it ensures growth is inevitable when you work with us. We invest substantially in developing not just technical skills but also soft skills and leadership capabilities, creating an environment where people genuinely want to stay. This culture extends to our customers’ sites, where our teams forge relationships and foster positive environments that transform how our customers work.

What drew us to The Lekker Network was a mix of curiosity and recognition that something special was emerging. As a company with both South African roots and global ambitions, we saw value in joining a community of like-minded South Africans doing great things worldwide. For our UK-based team members, the network offers a vital connection back to South Africa.

We strongly believe South Africa has tremendous talent to offer the global stage, and any initiative that creates opportunities for South Africans to showcase themselves or support each other abroad is worth embracing. In a tough international setting, having a network of friendlies just makes good business sense.
