Highway Corporate Services (Pty) Ltd (“Highway”) was started in 1997 by Jenny Lupton as a part-time interest offering statutory secretarial services. Over the past 18 years the company has evolved into a respected entity that offers a full range of outsourced company secretarial and corporate governance services to listed and unlisted companies. We offer our services as Company Secretary on an outsourced basis which enables us to ensure that we are truly independent. The spread of our client base means that we are not reliant on any one client for the sustainability of the business.

Highway is run by a team of professionals with many years of experience between them. We only employ people who have already acquired the necessary skills and disciplines through having obtained a legal degree, or who have completed the 4 year Chartered Secretaries Southern Africa diploma course and have embarked upon their Board examinations. The latter comprise the subjects of Corporate Secretaryship, Corporate Governance, Corporate Administration and Financial Management.

We believe that the outsourced service we offer is still relatively rare in South Africa. With the increasing need for specialisation in the fields of accountancy, taxation and human resources due to a plethora of new legislation, it has been possible for us to specialise in the areas of corporate secretaryship and corporate governance. The fact that we have a number of professionally qualified and experienced staff members means that one of us is able to take the lead with a client to provide continuity, but there are always others who can step in if the lead person is not available for some reason.

Because we are passionate about providing hands-on practical work experience for suitably qualified students aspiring to become company secretaries, we provide the mentorship and practical experience necessary to accept appointment as a Company Secretary and assist them in finding suitable appointments once the period of training is complete.

We are equally passionate about promoting the role of the Company Secretary and assisting in the creation of greater awareness of the importance to any company of embracing good ethics and good corporate governance practices.
