Bidvest Group

Bidvest Group is a South African services, trading, and distribution company that owns a diverse set of businesses.

Bidvest was founded in 1988 by Brian Joffe and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1990. The Bidvest Group Limited has a corporate office in Johannesburg, South Africa. As of 2017, it employed approximately 132,870 people.

The Bidvest Group Limited board comprises eleven members. In March 2019 Bidvest named Executive Director Mpumi Madisa as CEO-designate. After the retirement of Lindsay Ralphs on 30 September 2020, Mpumi Madisa assumed the role of Bidvest CEO.

A plan first developed in 2012 and coming to fruition in 2016 saw the conglomerate unbundle its businesses. It split into a number of different businesses and sold off some others. One of the biggest was the separating of the Bidvest Food Services into a new listed company named Bidcorp that would focus on the food production and distribution businesses.

In December 2024, Bidvest Group sold its subsidiary Bidvest Bank to a Nigerian banking group's local South African subsidiary Access Bank South Africa for R2.8billion.
