Norgine ( PTY ) Ltd,
+2711 888 5630 operates from the 1st
Fooor 108 Elizabeth Avenue Parkmore, (
opposite the Parkmore Bottle Store ).
The Company is run by one Dougy Kevan ( 082 713
1489 ) General Manager and one Tracy Du Plessis
( 084 492 4297 ) Marketing Manager.They dont
know what they are doing and have no business
ethics or forward planning ability.
They also issued a dud Cheque for R 25,000-00
which was returned by the Bank, as unpaid.
At the end of November 2011, we were approached
by Norgine Parkmore to produce 750 fruit cakes
Iced and boxed for the re launch of the product
Movicol after its first launch 15 years ago.
Full details as regards prices and delivery of
the cakes in Custom produced boxes ( 21 WD
production time ) were given to Dougy Kevan at
the End of November 2011.
There was much procrastination by Dougy Kevan in
the form of phone calls on how he could get the
boxes for , how many cakes we could produce at a
time and the cost of fruit for each cake. He
seemed to be a big time waster or was trying to
gather information.
If fact we told Norgine that we did not want the
orders because the Company had no clear cut
view to what they wanted, and from the nature of
the calls interfering with the production of the
cakes we could be at risk dealing with this
company.
We have had 35 years experience with cakes
dealing with people at all levels.
Nothing transpired on the Quotation we had given
them in November 2011 and we filed the papers.
On the 2nd of February 2012 Norgine
came back to us with the following typed request
on as scrap of paper.
They now required 1000 iced fruit cakes 8 cm
round in presentation Boxes with their Logo
printed on the Cakes using frosted paper and
edible ink.
We quoted them R 55-00 per box, with a total
cost of R 55,000-00.( Fruit Cake 8cm dia plus
Icing with Logo Boxed and delivered as and when
we received the Boxes )
They asked us to go ahead with the order.
On the 2nd of February we sent full
details by email to Tracey Du Plessis / Don
Kevan setting out how the deal had to be
structured and the MO on the entire deal.
We also required deposit of R 25,000-00 to cover
the Manufacture the Presentation Boxes The Glue
Gun, Ingredients, Frosting sheets, and all the
Dried Fruit.
The Art work was requested from their artist.
The art work was very amateurish and seemed to
be done by a some friend of Tracy du Plessis.
They wanted us to correct the size and sent it
in a PDF format in low resolution There was a
email exchange with Tracy Du Plessis on the
Diameter of the Logo etc
In terms of the Invoice, the Deposit had to be
paid by EFT or Cash into our Bank Account on
the 2nd February 2012 ( we never
accept Cheques ).
A confirmation email was received by us signed
by Tracy Du Plessis confirming the order, and
the deposit of the money. A further telephone
call was received from Tracy te Du Plessis
confirming the deposit.
We proceeded to place all the orders for the
manufacture of the Boxes and order all the Raw
Materials.
On the 3rd and 4th we
proceeded to bake the cakes and print the
logos.

On the afternoon of the 4th of

deposit as *They paid a cheque into our account
and their bank placed a 7 day hold whih the
famous Effects not Cleared Bank Bamk placed a 7

On Monday 6th February 2012 we were
called by the Company asking if we could meet
their dead ling of the 13th of
February 2012 ( total disregard of any of the

In the mean time we had already produced 150 of
the cakes based on the deposit being paid, not
knowing it was on a blocked cheque with
subsequently turned out to be a dud cheque, and
was returned by the Bank.

This is a Company not to get involved with as
the Integrity of their Staff and Management is
questionable, and their business ethics is non
existent.
If you do business with them you must insist on
receiving cash with the order. Don't even trust
a EFT from them.
