Bakers S.A. Limited is one of the country’s leading independent logistics companies that has grown into a large and successful organisation with an enviable service record.

Our service is based on helping our clients achieve their logistics goals by providing an exceptional service that contributes added value, at a fair market rate.

We are widely regarded as an employee orientated company, employing more than 1600 individuals in 17 locations throughout South Africa and operating a fleet of over 600 vehicles. As such, we are fortunate enough to attract specialists of a high calibre with valuable experience, allowing us to provide effective and seamless end-to-end supply chain solutions.

The skilled workforce at Bakers is our most valuable asset, with a business management system that empowers employees to work smarter, inspires stability and encourages uniformity and improvement.

The senior managers at Bakers have many years of experience in the industry, most of whom have been with the organisation for more than a decade. Top achievers are rewarded with performance driven incentive programmes in order to sustain a high level of productivity, with the motto “a better life for all”.

Following the principle of ‘first who, then what’, we’ve adopted a proactive approach to ensuring that the right people in the right positions receive all the necessary skills development and training. Drivers are employed directly and trained, tested and evaluated in accordance with the performance rating system.

Our aim is to become the employer of choice and attract the best skills in the industry. Bakers also promotes a healthy lifestyle for employees and have introduced onsite fitness and wellness programmes.

To ensure the comfort and safety of our drivers, Bakers has invested in developing properties in Harrismith and Colesberg as truck stops, fully equipped with sleeping quarters, showers and dining areas.
