Import & Export Specialist / International Sales

Summary
Proven leader in enhancing operational efficiency and financial health at Eco Plant Pack (Pty) Ltd, with a knack for exceeding sales targets and improving stakeholder communication. Skilled in Business Analysis and fostering labor relations, I've driven success through strategic planning and effective team oversight, ensuring top-notch service and satisfaction.
At EPP we have also co-ordinated all sales on the Afrikaans client bases, ranging from our largest client base nursery (LVG) to all afrikaans third party clients (Checkers) where we were mainly focused on the plant base packaging and add-on products.
I decided to leave Eco Plant Pack (Pty) mainly because of differences of future business views, the vision of the company and work life balance.
