Two Hearts Are Better Than One
3 Comments Published by jeanette March 18th, 2006 in General, Avo in the mediaAvo was featured in the Star Workplace recently in an article highlighting the fact that Avo is remarkable in more ways than one.
Besides being run by two awesome and inspiring woman - that would be Jules & Elaine - both Jules and Elaine’s husbands Grant & Glen, also work at Avo. But thats not all -this sounds like a Verimark advert - there are also two other married couples, as well as two couples who are in long term relationships and a few mothers & daughters & aunts & nieces. (Eat your heart out Verimark!!).
Once again, in true Avoness style, this proves that two hearts are better than one!!

Sales Management Leadership Programme

Management Development ProgrammeOne of the most exciting leadership programmes on the South African Breweries annual training calendar is the Management Development Programme.
This programme sees approximately 40 local and international delegates gathering at the SAB Training Institute to embark on a three week leadership journey. Avocado Vision project manages this exciting programme. Avo was tasked to present a module on entrepreneurship and innovation on the MDP, that was creative, novel and above all, that would allow the delegates to laugh and learn. In collaboration with SAB and the UCT GSB, we designed ‘The Apprentice Challenge’ a programme tailored to challenge delegates to see if their learned, theoretical knowledge translated into real-world entrepreneurial and original thinking.

This small, exclusive meeting and conference centre allows for intimate group sessions (maximum of 14 people) with a breathtaking, awe-inspiring view. The venue is easily accessible and on the edge of Johannesburg CBD. There is a relaxed, fun and inspiring atmosphere with innovative, creative and original catering. The Avocado Vision team is very flexible in their approach to different client needs, so please feel free to discuss different requirements. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and join us for a memorable experience. Video Conferencing facilities available on request.

Begin the day with a cup of coffee and breath in the spectacular view!

Get busy in our inspiring conference space and leave the details to us.

I am an intrepid traveller, looking for the next remote destination to explore or mountain to climb. When I am not doing that I am a logical and analytical thinker and a perfectionist
with great attention to detail.
I am the HR and Operations manager, putting those awfully anal retentive characteristics of mine into practice. Someone has got to keep the creative Avos grounded!
Avo allows you to create your own experience. It is a space that takes you out of your comfort zone and breaks habit and rigidity. The people - just check out the amazing people on the site - now you know why I am so stoked to play and work with such awesome human beings!
