LRA Chairman Responds

Pertinent extracts from LRA Chairman Rob Gillespie's response to latest post:

• We are putting Fidelity under some huge pressure to show and prove their might and market position.

  There is a current program and drive in place to recruit at least 5 decent sales people just for Lonehill.

  New products are being made available at very decent pricing – to address the much changed Lonehill segment from 6 years ago.

  The crime stats are as low as they can be at present given the resource that we have at hand.

  The co-operation tactics with SAPS and Metro are streets ahead of anyone anywhere in SA, but we want it better still. That is a Fidelity plus.

  The new door to door campaign and the fund raising campaign along with the benefits module and the increased visibility will go a long way to re-energising and growth.

  The problem that we had was a lot larger than any of us thought, and the rectification process was/is a lot more difficult than you can imagine. But, we are getting there, albeit slowly.
