Hi!
I’m GERMA BEUKES
I am a legal professional, specialising in Compliance in the financial services industry.
I am passionate about my clients and my career in Compliance, but I am also a firm believer in balance in all areas – especially work-life-balance.

ABOUT ME

FAMILY
I am married to Conrad and we have two children, Damian and Kayla. Being a working mother is both demanding and fulfilling at the same time, and quite a challenge to balance.
I try to ensure that time spent with my family is quality time, as quantity is not an option.

TRAVEL
I absolutely love travelling, both locally and abroad. Discovering new places and exploring different countries is the best therapy in the world – if only it was more affordable!
I have been to the UK, the US and Europe and cannot wait for my next trip, wherever it may be.

ART
I also love art and painting – I attend art classes on Wednesday evenings under the watchful eye of Maestro Johan Conradie of the AD Reflex duo.
I have travelled to the Venice Biennale with him and my fellow art students on a few occasions and find it incredibly inspirational.

COOKING
I also adore everything related to food, wine and cooking – I did a short chef course through Prue Leith many years ago, and I just love entertaining.
Cooking creates the opportunity to express myself creatively in the kitchen, as there is not a lot of time for that during my hectic work schedule.
QUALIFICATIONS
After I matriculated, I started studying B Com (Law) at the University of Pretoria where I was also part of the RAG committee and student Radio Station, Tuks FM.
