I was National Channel Manager for South Africa, looking after a team of eight, 6 Industry Managers, and around 185 Customers, Global, National, and some local for just under three years. These clients were across all Industry profiles and across a Global network depending on the nature of the clients business with us. DHL was an incredible Global business to work for and was an unforgettable time in my career.
