During the course of the interview, the Founder of Greenmouse Africa revealed some fascinating insights, opinions, and ideas.
Celebrated South African entrepreneur, environmental advocate, and Founder of Greenmouse Africa Martin Korver is pleased to announce that he is the featured subject of a new professional profile due to be published early in the spring of 2023. The profile, which was conducted by an online periodical that exclusively interviews commercial pioneers and industry leaders touches on a wide variety of topics, but largely concentrates on issues revolving around how Martin achieved success in the business world.
At one point in the profile, Martin reflects on the early days of Greenmouse Africa, including the inspiration for creating the company in the first place. “Greenmouse Africa started during the height of the COVID pandemic. The idea came from an old school friend of mine in Holland who I’ve known for 35 years. He knew the owners of the Greenmouse business in the Netherlands and they were trying to put the concept into action in the market up there. We were talking one day, and he suggested giving it a try in Africa. So, the business started down here, with just me on my own and a couple of samples,” he remarks, before adding, “Today, we have 1,000 displays and 38 people on our team, and we’re doubling in size every three to four months.”
Later, after being posed a question about what drives him to succeed in the notoriously competitive arena of South African commerce, Martin Korver answers, “I want to have fun with what I do. I thoroughly enjoy building businesses and companies. If I see people grow and see them really succeed and achieve a lot for themselves within an organization that I created, and I realize that they’ve put in a lot of hard work to achieve that success, it gives me a huge amount of pleasure. So, among other things, watching my team use a company I built as a springboard for their own individual success inspires me.”
