Since 2008, Nolands has proudly sponsored the @proseriesindoor hockey. As main sponsors for over 15 years, we’ve stood alongside PSi in growing the sport and we’re excited once again to support two of their biggest events of the year — the Nkosi Cup and the RSAWEB PSi Nationals.

The RSAWEB PSi Nationals kicked off on Saturday, 6 December, running through to Thursday, 18 December, where age groups U13 to U23 will battle it out. Then the intensity rises as the PSi Nkosi Cup begins on Friday, 12 December, and runs until Tuesday, 16 December.

Good luck to all the exceptional players!

It was a scorcher on the green this past week as Nolands proudly sponsored the 14th hole at the annual Steenberg Classic Golf Day! ⛳️

The Nolands hole served as the perfect pit stop for golfers to cool off and recharge, while enjoying ice-cold beers, ciders and waters.

Thank you to @steenberggc for yet another memorable classic!

From 17-19 September, Nolands hosted its 15th Annual Conference at the luxurious Palazzo Hotel in Montecasino, Johannesburg. With the theme “Winning Relationships,” the event brought together Directors, Managers, and Advisory Relationship Companies from across the globe for three unforgettable days of learning, connection, and celebration.

Delegates teed off at the Blair Atholl golf course, took part in thought-provoking audit, advisory, tax, law, and international sessions, and savoured curated food and wine experiences, making this year’s conference as memorable as it was enriching.

Our keynote speaker, Dr Justin Cohen guided us through the ways in which AI can be a catalyst for deeper connection, and help us build successful, meaningful partnerships. Followed by Rebecca Kanoerera who shared insights on the power of personal branding and networking; while our final speaker, Mike Saunders discussed the power of marketing and getting it right in a digital world.

Nolands would like to thank everyone who brought their energy, ideas, and enthusiasm, your contribution made Conference 2025 a true success. 💙 We’re already counting down to Conference 2026 in the beautiful mother city, Cape Town! Where we’ll also be celebrating 50 years of Nolands … and if there’s one thing we know, it’s how to throw a celebration to remember! 🥂🎉

Nolands is proud to have been a sponsor at this year’s FluidRock Governance Group Annual Conference.

Darryl Fordham, CEO of Nolands Audit SA, led an engaging and interactive breakaway session titled “The Art of Networking: Windfalls and Pitfalls.” With humour and practical insight, he unpacked the power of authentic connection, encouraging attendees to step outside their comfort zones, share their stories with purpose, and approach networking with genuine intent.

Some of the key takeaways included:
• Build your network before you need it.
• Add value by actively listening.
• Use platforms like LinkedIn to cultivate relationships, not just collect them.

Thank you to the event organisers, sponsors and attendees for delivering yet another world-class conference. We’re already looking forward to next year!
