MISSION STATEMENT

Since qualifying as an Electrician in 1991, I extended my expertise into middle management and eventually managing contracts in different parts (which also included installation and commissioning of hydraulic equipment and pneumatics) over the world, implementing a high standard of safety and quality to give the client an efficient safe plant/project in the right time frame. Over the years I have also used my skills to train and uplift people to make them understand more about the environmental and safety standards. This created a happy and safe working environment, allowing me to achieve what I did in the construction industry and to work with all levels of management and workers. Continue to expand already extensive knowledge of electrical trade and management skills.
