I am currently positioned as the Business Development Manager for Thorough Tec Simulation. I am responsible for the business development and expansion into Africa. We have had on-going success helping many large mining companies (such as Rio Tinto and Anglo to name but a few) develop their own pool of heavy equipment operators drawn from the local communities. In doing so we have not only seen success on an economical level but have helped develop and empower communities. As the old saying goes teach a man to fish and he will eat for a life time. Simulators are an essential training tool for all mining operations not only do they decrease the risk of incidents by ensuring adequately trained employees but they play a major role in increasing productivity. Not to mention the savings in maintaining equipment and reduced cost of training.Thorough Tec was traditionally a military simulator producer which transitioning to the mining sector more than 15 years ago. Bringing with it, it's "Military Grade" technology. This military spec makes them the most reliable and technologically advanced simulators on the market. They have been providing the highest fidelity products which virtually negate the transition from the simulator to real life. With a major focus on development, they are the market leaders. www.thoroughtec.com
