The main focus area is around Nelson Mandela Bay Port Elizabeth but also around the 3 major National Parks being Addo Elephant National Park, Camdeboo National Park and Mountain Zebra National Park
Tell us something not many people know about you.
I love the colour purple and hate insects
Tell us about your business, and about the people who work for you (if applicable).
I have 3 lovely passionate ladies working with me. They live the brand on a daily basis
When you think of your business, what is something that makes you PROUD?
We pride ourselves that we are always available for our clients and have our fingers on the pulse of each site in our region. We have a very good relationship with all our site hosts
Talk us through a normal day (pre-Covid-19) for you.
Our office is based in Mount Pleasant and offers more than enough space for storage and day to day operations. Riana is our admin lady and Janine and Mary Anne are on the road servicing sites and visiting the region as well as religiously entering stats and keeping all brochure up to date and in stock
How badly has Covid-19 affected you? Have you managed to access any relief funds?
All my staff were put on short time before the lock down came into affect in March. Nobody is receiving salaries and are reliant on UIF TERS funding. I am lucky in that my landlord halved my rent for this period. I have never worked so hard for so little money as I have managed to hussle with various PPE items, signage, medical supplies etc related to Covid 19 just to make enough money in order to pay the rent and insurance at the office. I also don’t forsee that the staff will go back to full time working hours immediately but will continue with short time until the work justifies being able to pay full salaries.
What’s the first place you’d like to visit when #coronalockdown is over?
Cape Town
What measures have you put in place to protect your staff and clients once lockdown has eased?
PPE for staff, sanitizer and register for all people visiting the office. Luckily the layout of the office already meets social distancing criteria
Any recommendations for activities/companies in your area that are now operating?
Most businesses are operational in my area except tourism & hospitality related businesses
