S.G.M. Trading & Consultancy Services

We’ve been working out of the Rani Showroom on Dahnora Road for quite a while now. It’s a busy spot, especially being so close to Styam Takkie. Most days here at S.G.M. Trading & Consultancy Services start with opening the shutters and checking the mail that came in late. We do a mix of things, mostly helping people with their paperwork and trading questions. It isn't a fancy office with big glass walls or anything like that. We have some desks, a lot of files that need organizing, and a ceiling fan that makes a bit of noise when it’s on high. People come in from the road, sometimes just to ask for directions because of where we are located, and we try to help them out. The traffic outside can get loud in the afternoons, but you get used to it. Our space is functional. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us who know how things work around here. We handle the consultancy side of things by sitting down and just talking through what the client needs. There isn’t any corporate script we follow. If someone has a problem with a trade or needs advice, we look at the papers and see what can be done. It’s honest work and it keeps us occupied from morning until we close up for the evening. Sometimes the tea man comes by twice, sometimes thrice, depending on how many people are waiting near the desk.
