What Our Clients Say

"Highly professional & high quality services"
I first met Cassandra in 2009, where she was facilitating a stakeholder management session and from the word go I was taken by her in-depth knowledge of the subject. Since then we have worked together on numerous projects in stakeholder management and leadership development in the mining and private education sectors.  I personally find Cassandra to be driven and passionate in acquiring and sharing knowledge, especially when it comes to value creation by businesses and leadership teams.  She is highly professional and offers high quality services.

Cassandra Gabriel has been working in stakeholder relations for many years. She has wide-ranging experience in dealing with stakeholders at all levels and in all circumstances. Her work with the government and their related stakeholders (citizens, other elected officials, interested government departments, businesses, interest groups, etc.) stands out. I would highly recommend her for this type of work.

"They had a real positive impact on the project team and added real value to our final deliverables"
It was a real pleasure working with Gabriel & Associates as sub-contractors on our international relations assignment with the Department of Transport. I found them very responsive and knowledgeable.

Project Manager for the development of a park management plan for the eco-tourism development of a sensitive wetland in the densely populated City of Kigali.
"The final strategy and plans produced were excellent and delivered within the deadline"
Cassandra Gabriel worked as the Project Manager on the Nyandungu Eco-park development project, in Kigali, Rwanda. She managed a team of experts to produce a comprehensive park management strategy and implementation plan under extreme time pressure. I found Cassandra to be very professional, highly skilled, and extremely competent. She managed the team very well with a combination of discipline and great people skills. The team was encouraged to meet and exceed a very high standard of quality. Cassandra is an excellent researcher with a great grasp of strategy and all areas of operational planning. She went beyond the scope of the Nyandungu assignment and delivered additional value in areas of the project where thought-leadership and solutions were required. The final strategy and plans produced were excellent and delivered within the deadline. The professionalism with which the project was managed and executed were highly appreciated. I would highly recommend Cassandra Gabriel for producing strategy and operational plans and for writing and publishing high quality publications.

"I would recommend her services anytime because she doesn’t only focus on developing the plans but also stretches herself to ensure that her clients are on board" 
"The best in stakeholder management"
Ms. Gabriel led a team that developed the Industry Partnership Development Plan for the C-BRTA. She is the mastermind of the Industry Partnership Development Plan that we currently refer to in some of the work we do. I would recommend her services anytime because she doesn’t only focus on developing the plans but also stretches herself to ensure that her clients are on board. Her approach entails combining theories behind stakeholder engagement, communication and marketing. As she develops the plan, she ensures that she familiarizes the client with the subject matter to ensure thorough understanding, buy-in and ownership of the ultimate product in the form of an implementation plan to get you started.
Ms Gabriel has further conducted training on stakeholder management for the Agency. The wealth of knowledge she possess on the subject is impressive. She is able to grasp the attention of the audience through a high level of preparedness, commitment and the passion for the subject. Given the little said, one can say she is the best in stakeholder management.

"I was very highly impressed with the standard and quality of the work produced"
"Provides 100% customer service and attention"  "Extremely dedicated and responsive, with great turnaround times and excellent value for money"

It gives me great pleasure to recommend Gabriel and Associates (Pty) Ltd, for the work they successfully conducted for me from 2008 to 2012, during my term as Project Manager of the Evaton Urban Renewal Project, for the Gauteng Department of Housing. Gabriel and Associates was appointed as the communications strategy service provider to the R1.6 billion urban renewal project. They successfully wrote and produced many publications, including annual reports and presentations, the website, monthly newsletters, investor brochures, community brochures and management reports. I was very highly impressed with the standard and quality of the work produced, from the excellent writing, to design and layout and attention to detail. Cassandra Gabriel, the Managing Director, always ensures that she provides 100% customer service and attention. She is extremely dedicated and responsive, with great turnaround times and excellent value for money. She is very pleasant to work with, as well as the entire team. Gabriel and Associates also ran an internship programme in Evaton to transfer skills and expertise to six young people. The training and development, mentoring and coaching was of a very high standard and many of the youth went on to being employed in fulltime jobs. I highly recommend Gabriel and Associates for any communications work, including annual reports, publications and strategies.

Project Manager: Evaton Renewal Project, Gauteng Dept of Housing

"I was very impressed with the knowledge and expertise of the Gabriel and Associates team. I will recommend them highly to any company wanting to boost performance, productivity and profitability."

During my term as the Chief Executive Officer of TeleDirect, part of the MSAT Group, I appointed Gabriel and Associates as strategic business advisors, to help improve the productivity and performance of the company.

When I took over as CEO in 2018, we were experiencing challenges with low employee morale, a culture of non-performance and wastage, and low productivity.

Gabriel and Associates conducted an assessment of the company by interviewing key stakeholders and reviewing organisational documents. They also conducted an employee engagement survey where every employee participated, at all levels of the organisation.

Thereafter they devised a creative strategy to boost performance, energise the employees and turn around the business culture, into a productive and high-performing culture. The employees had a lot of fun during the training and engagement sessions, which really helped to energise the company.

I was very impressed with the knowledge and expertise of the Gabriel and Associates team. I will recommend them highly to any company wanting to boost performance, productivity and profitability.

Kevin Boysen,
CEO: Teledirect
