| Biography | Director & Lead Technician at Acu-Temp (PTY) Ltd | Instrumentation, Calibration & Technical Operations
About Accomplished Director and Lead Technician with extensive experience spanning technical operations, high-precision calibrations, and strategic business growth. After honing skills in material analysis in industrial laboratory environments, I founded Acu-Temp (PTY) Ltd in 2014 to deliver reliable, high-grade technical and temperature-control solutions.

In my dual role, I actively direct business development, sales pipeline, and client marketing while remaining hands-on in the field—overseeing complex installations, system calibrations, and critical repairs.
Core Competencies:
Technical Operations: System Installations, Precision Calibrations, Maintenance & Complex Emergency Repairs
Business Leadership: Executive Management, Strategic Planning, Marketing & Business Administration
