About Us

Our Story

Amkhoib is a leading health and safety consultancy founded by Mr. Chris Lourens, who initially focused on helping developers navigate complex health and safety management challenges.

Recognizing the growing needs of the construction industry, Chris expanded our services to support contractors directly, establishing Amkhoib as a trusted partner across the sector.

As our reputation grew, Chris entrusted the leadership to Ernest Duncan, whose strategic vision has transformed Amkhoib into a recognized industry leader in health and safety consulting.
