OVERVIEW
The RONLOTH GROUP is a South African commercial and industrial property company. The Ronloth group is a family owned business that was initially founded as Ronloth Marketing in 1986.
HISTORY
In 1986, after years of experience in the property industry, Richard Williams founded Ronloth Marketing. The first plot of land to be purchased, developed and sold was Marloth Park alongside the Kruger Park.
By the early 1990s, Richard and his wife, Noeline, had grown the business into a commercial brokerage company. The business developed many properties including shopping centres for Potch University, the Trade Centres (Metcash Group), Health and Racquet clubs, and Monash University. In addition to developing properties for clients, the business procured land to develop, lease and manage a number of convenience shopping centres on the West Rand for a consortium of investors which included the Williams Family as the main shareholder. In the late 90’s James Williams and Stuart Williams joined the business and together with their father grew the portfolio to what it is today.
