Africa Representation
Jopie van Rooyen & Partners was established in 1993. As entrepreneurial concern it has subsequently grown to be the founder member of the JvR Africa Group of companies, which today consists of JvR Psychometrics, JvR Consulting Psychologists, JvR Academy, and JvR Safety.
Our head office is situated in Johannesburg, South Africa, but we do business nationally and across Sub-Saharan Africa. We work with test developers, consultants and academic institutions all over the world. We are highly selective of our business partners, making sure that we select partners that will add significant value to our clients. We have close relationships with our clients, and regard them as partners and stakeholders in our business.
Living and building a business in the African context requires a strong focus on doing good. In this regard we support a range of development opportunities for previous disadvantaged people and communities. We are also proud to be hosting events around People Development in Africa, a cause which we feel is extremely important to the future of our continent.
