WBHO Bursary Programmes 2020

WBHO Profile
Back in 1970, a pair of young men whose names were John Wilson and Brian Holmes had an idea – to build a construction company. Initially going by the name Wilson-Holmes (Pty)) Ltd, this construction company has gone through several decades of changes. With a series of on-going mergers with other external establishments, the company has been no stranger to the dynamic changes that were necessary for the growth. Due to these changes, it’s no surprise that the company would undergo through several name changes as well. Wilson-Holmes (Pty) Ltd changed to Wilson Bayly Holmes (Pty) Limited, and then finally, the company has settled on its current name, WBHO.

What was once a small idea by a pair of young men, developed into one massive establishment in the years to come. As of today, WBHO has had a remarkable reputation for being one of the largest construction groups within the nation of South Africa. WBHO’s good name is courtesy of the fact that the company is responsible for tacking on several different projects that requires its own treatment. Therefore, under the WBHO group itself, the company is split into 3 subdivisions each with its own specializations – Civil Engineering, Roads and Earthworks, and Building Construction. At the moment, WBHO has four main offices that operates in the cities of Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, and Cape Town. Observing this growth, expect to see a lot more from this JSE-listed group in the time to come.
