Trucking, mining and commodity trading

Consulting

Roar Consulting advises businesses in South Africa, Zimbabwe and the United States, using the same cross-border contacts that get our artists and crews where they need to be.

Limpopo, the border Johannesburg Beitbridge Harare

Why a show company consults

Getting a headliner, a crew and forty cases of equipment through a border on time is a logistics problem. So is getting a load of copper to Durban.

To make our shows happen we have built relationships with transporters, clearing agents, financiers and operators on both sides of the Limpopo. Those contacts are just as useful to businesses outside entertainment, and Roar Consulting makes them available.

The corridor we know best runs from Johannesburg to Harare through Beitbridge, one of the busiest border posts in southern Africa.

How we work

  1. 01

    A conversation

    A call about what you’re trying to move, build or buy, and where it’s getting stuck.

  2. 02

    A scope

    A short written plan: what we’ll do, who we’ll introduce you to, the timeline and the fee.

  3. 03

    Introductions and delivery

    We make the introductions, sit in the meetings that matter and stay involved until the work is done.

Got a date? We’ll find the act.

Tell us the date, the city and the kind of event. We’ll come back with the artists who are available, what they charge and what it takes to get them there.
