We are incredibly proud to sponsor Christian Fraser on his journey to the UDO World Dance Championships in Blackpool, United Kingdom this August. As one of the world's largest and most prestigious street dance competitions, the championships bring together talented dancers from across the globe to represent their countries on the international stage.

Christian has been part of Dance Movement since the age of six and through years of hard work and commitment, he has earned the honour of representing South Africa at this caliber.

It is a privilege to play a small part in helping a young South African pursue his passion and achieve his goals. We wish Christian the very best as he proudly wears the South African colours and showcases his talent to the world.

Good luck, Christian. We're behind you every step of the way 🏆

The I&J Foxglove marine vessel has been transformed! We were recently commissioned to assist with dry-docking and refurbishing this vessel and the final results are impressive. A big well done to the Southey crew.

Hearing what our clients have to say about the job we do motivates us.

We were tasked with the chance to refurbish 4 diesel tanks for one of our oil and gas clients, Eskom Gourikwa. This large-scale job required us to provide scaffolding for the main task which involved prepping the tanks for corrosion protection.

A big thank you to Jonah Amsterdam for taking the time to commend the crew and share his thoughts about what he saw on site. Well done to the crew and the project managers.

A new transformation is underway! 🚢
We were recently commissioned to assist with dry-docking the I&J Foxglove marine vessel. The Southey team is making progress on this marine vessel revamp and we can’t wait to see the final outcome as the project takes shape.

The process of dry-docking involves the cleaning, inspection and repair of the sections of a ship that are usually submerged in water. This project has been an engaging experience for the Southey team and we can't wait to see the final result soon.
