What started off as working in grocery stores during my school holidays as a teenage to earn a little pocket money soon became a career. After finishing school and compulsory military service, I was asked to join a group of businesses in Alice to help manage one of their 3 Furniture Stores. Within short period of time I progressed from managing the smallest store to running the largest and the Department Store I enjoyed the challenge immensely of being able to maximize the potential of these stores. I now have the ability to be able to walk into almost any business and evaluate its strengths and weakness and have the experience to give credible solutions where needed. Thereafter I embarked on a time of travel and working my way across the UK, Europe and United States. Taking my experience into companies such as Kwik Save in London, Foxtons, Acorn Properties and River homes. Returning to South Africa I joined S&C Agencies (House of Elkanah) as a Managing consultant and brought my experience to their family business. After evaluating the business I introduced and setup procedures to improving production flow, management processes and access control in both the receiving and dispatch areas and set up training manuals and reporting procedures for the sales department. Once my consulting work was done I was asked to join the Sales team and headed up the Northern territories of Cape Town. I was excited at the aspect of Direct Sales opportunity and managing the growth of the territory. Armed with few clients I soon maximized the area and was established the Top Sales Representative for the Rust Oleum Brands of products (for the past three years). This achievement cemented this world brand in the Western Cape as the brand of choice. I have enjoyed the 12yrs I have journeyed with S&C Agencies family and I am now prepared for the new opportunities that lie ahead in my career.
