I took on the challenge at Oranje Toyota and made a change, the workshop
was going to close down and be out sourced. The workshop has had 5 managers
in one year, I was offered the post to try and rectify the situation. At
Oranje Toyota I was awarded commercial workshop of the year for two years,
by Toyota SA and by the Unitrans group. I built up the workshop to be a
very profitable business.
