  Owner

  Managed a team of builders, electricians, wooden deck builders, metal fence manufacturers and all other disciplines of contractors for the largest DIY group in South Africa. Unfortunately the contract expired in March of 2014 but we are trying to get it going again but in a much more professional way. We also did Project Management on various projects related to the building Industry, amongst other things, of course.Ran a team of 13 promotional staff, at 13 Gauteng stores and also at 6 Western Cape stores, who worked at this large DIY group, collecting leads for our over 200 home maintenance contractors. I then co-ordinated the leads and sent them to our call centre for the staff to set up appointments with the clients, amongs't other activities which I performed.I am now about to start to install fireplaces as it is getting cooooolllld. As I have had years of Management experience in the Corporate world AND while running my own business, I can project manage any project that you might need to be managed. I am currently on contract with my church as the Property Manager of Southern Africa so property maintenance is my game....I guess Show less
