What "Meander" Means to Us
Meander is more than a name — it's the heart of our purpose.
A meander is a natural curve in a river, often representing the swiftest and most dynamic part of its flow. Like a river shaping the land, Meander connects two sides — those who need a service, and those who deliver it. It's where action happens and connections are made.
The name carries dual meaning:
- "Me" represents you — whether you're a skilled professional, a business owner, or someone looking for trusted help.
- "Ander" comes from Afrikaans, meaning "other."
Together, Meander means connecting me to others — bringing people together in a flow of value, skill, and trust.
Just like a river flows to where it's needed most, Meander is the platform that brings work, opportunity, and service directly to your fingertips — quickly, securely, and locally.
