For my entire time at BCX I have been contacted to MBSA, actually, I got the job at MBSA while I was in my final few months at technikon and then had to choose which company I would contract through, at the time I chose Q Data Consulting, which over the years, after many name changes has eventually evolved into BCX

This was a very exciting time in my career, I was brought onto the MBUSI SAP rollout project where I was involved with numerous developments, mainly in the MM and PP areas. Of course this also mean a number of visits to the Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant where I was exposed to a idfferent work environment and American way of life.
