I originally started my career in the human resources field with a qualification in HR from Wits University. In 2001 we opened our own Auto Electrical and Fitment Centre which we successfully owned and managed for 17 years but in 2016 we decided it was time for a change, we sold up our lives and moved to New Zealand.

I joined a large Access/Forklift company in 2018 where I held various roles and gained a great deal of experience in the hire industry. My background in the automotive trade was easily transferable into the service field within the hire industry and is where I spent the bulk of my time.

My experience includes, general management, fleet management, service management, human resource management, systems and relationship building. Looking at collaboration to address all the industry needs of our Members.
