Summary
I regard myself as a result orientated, goal focused individual, I can achieve anything that I put my mind to without giving up.
Although I have 10 Years experience in Close-Circuit Television Systems I believe in continue learning and always trying to improve my skills.
I Firmly believe that “the only source of knowledge is experience”
In 2003 I started my own business offering the below services: Picture Framing / Promotional items / clothing and gifts.
In 2004 we included a division for General Maintenance and repairs, assisting customers with revamp of businesses and houses we started of with 4 Businesses.
Due to the crime in South-Africa a opportunity came to us to assist a big brand in South-Africa with Close-Circuit Television Systems .
The requirements on the Close-Circuit Television division started to outgrow the other divisions, I then decided to close down some of the divisions and only concentrated on Repairs and Maintenance on buildings and Installations and Maintenance of Close-Circuit Television Systems. Currently our company has more than 50 different companies we service.
I regard myself as a result orientated, goal focused individual.
I can achieve anything that I put my mind to without giving up.
