Beekman Family Legacy In Good Hands

5 August 2022

Beekman Managed Portfolio is a proud subsidiary of the Beekman Group, which reflects the high standards to which the Group holds the club. Recently, the contribution of the Beekman family to the South African travel and tourism industry was acknowledged on the 27th July at a glitzy award show in Umhlanga, when The Beekman Group was recognised by Standard Bank Kwazulu-Natal Top Business Awards as KZN’s top Family Business for 2022.

The pioneering efforts of John and Bram Beekman, later adopted and spearheaded by their children Neville, Wayne, and Cindy stood out in a multitude of deserving entries in this category, which Neville and Wayne were on hand to receive.

“This award is a testament to the sacrifices of not only my father and uncle but also their wives Jay and Antoinette as well.” Commented Neville Beekman, Executive Director, Beekman Group. “While founders are rightfully credited for the success of the company they establish, what often goes unacknowledged is the contribution of their extended families and networks of friends, without whose support none of this would be possible.”

On behalf of Beekman Managed Portfolio, congratulations to the Beekman family, the extended family, employees and their partners who have underpinned the family’s success in the travel and tourism sector.
