Our Story
I have been in the steel industry since 2006, starting from the ground up, as a Junior Sales Representative. Through the years I have gained a diverse spectrum of knowledge and expertise, which was acknowledged and valued by my respective employers, and as a result elevated my career by taking on management roles including Sales Manager, Branch Manager, to now being the Owner/Director of my own company.
I have an intense passion for the products I trade in – Aluminium and Stainless Steel in particular and thoroughly enjoy seeing the different ways people use the various metals, especially Aluminium – “ The Magic Metal”.
Steel is generic but the industry is always changing and therefore learning never ends. I have learned the most from like-minded clients who also share a passion for their products.
Quality Service
I’ve built a solid and vast network within the industry, allowing me to deliver specialized services efficiently and effectively. In addition to this, my team forms the cogs of a well-oiled machine. Without all these valued relationships and refreshing interactions, Stainless and Co would not be the success it is today.
In addition to the hands-on experience I have gained, I have also completed various training programs and courses, which range from product knowledge courses; distributor training from a very prestigious Production Mill; industry-specific sales and strategy techniques training; as well as a qualification in Operations Management from the Nelson Mandela University.
All of the above has molded and shaped my career, giving me the ability to offer an innovative and forward-thinking approach to customer service. The future is bright, and what better way to make it really shine than with metals being right at the forefront of innovation?
