Living so far away from my mom, it is really important for me to have someone I trust. Someone to help with shopping, doctor’s visits, organising home maintenance and that her day to day runs smoothly. Morné Neuhoff from STANDBY has been excellent on all fronts. He brings a unique combination of organisation, enthusiasm, efficiency and reliability.  Not sure what we would do without him.

Morné Neuhoff from STANDBY  has been a fantastic personal life manager for my mother. As I live in Australia and I am unable to assist her in daily life, Morné’s  assistance has been a great help for shopping, appointments and  administrative tasks. Morné is personable, reliable and brings a positive  enthusiasm to errands and activities.

Morné came to our organisation and we immediately saw results. No job was left unfinished and deadlines, no matter how tight, were always met. (And all this with a dash of style and grace). It’s a pity we couldn’t clone him.

I worked with Morné in TV on Miss South Africa. Morné managed, as Production Manager, to get beauty queens to be in the right place at the right time and (most importantly) in the right outfit. He also managed to do it with such charm and aplomb that the nation’s most beautiful were still smiling when they got there. A rare skill indeed.

In my twenty years in the entertainment industry I’ve come to learn that production staff with EQ and organisational skills are indispensable. The only shouting should be when the director calls action. Morné is one of those guys.
James Cairns

I worked with Morné many moons ago. I was the Account Director at Jupiter Drawing Room in Cape Town and Morné fresh out of advertising school. His attention to detail, diligence and creativity with a good seasoning of abundant humor gave me all the signs that he will one day run a successful business. That one day is now today. I wish him all the success he deserves.

Managing Director - Cheeky Media
Morné has worked with us on 2 previous occasions and managed to deliver a great product, on time and on budget on both occasions. We were especially appreciative when he worked through the night for us to create a video that we were proud to display at 08h00 the following morning.

Morné worked at Cheeky Media as a production manager, Head of Production and line producer for many years and was always very focused and professional with a great attention to detail. He was well versed when it came to organisational / administrative skills and really impressed me with how he took on communication, planning and scheduling responsibilities. All in Morné was a great asset to our company, and I would highly recommend anyone looking to use his services.
