I started a painting company in 1993 and after 7 years I started a small locksmith company . At one stage for several reason including COVID the locksmith did not make an an income and as I lived in SOMERSET WEST to cost alone to drive into town as not justified so I closed the locksmith shop and started a painting company again . However Covid is something of the past so were carrying on with the locksmith business again
