Services

At Ernest Joseph we want to get you the correct items for the appropriate project and to this end will work with you in obtaining these items.

Our website is most up-to-date and should provide you with images of the stock we carry. Select from our range and feel free to ask advice of our consultants.

From time to time we bring in new items and display them on the site, as this is the fastest manner in which we can display them for you. Use the site to place an order or to make enquiries. You can also email us on stock holding and delivery times (if you are out of town) and we will gladly respond promtly.

Make your suggestions through the same channels. These are always welcome.

We look forward to your interaction.

Promotion to Access to Information Act

Preamble
The Promotion of Access of Information  ("the Act") came into operation on 23 November 2001 - Section 51 of the Act requires that we as a private body compile a manual giving information to the public regarding the procedure to be followed in requesting information from us for the purpose of exercising or protecting rights.

Introduction to this Private Body
Ernest Joseph & Company (Pty) Ltd was incorporated on 30 June 1965. Ernest Joseph & Company (Pty) Ltd conducts a business of importing artificial flowers, bridal headgear, scarves and Christmas decorations

We as a Private Body have compiled this manual, not only to comply with the provision of the Act, but also to foster a culture of transparency and accountability in our environment and to ensure that members of the public have effective access to information in our possession which will assist them in the exercise and protection of their rights. Inside these pages you will be able to view the categories of information which we possess.  You will also be shown the correct procedure to follow should you require access to any of this information.
