Q: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING AT Pro-Plan?

I started working for Pro-Plan in 2012

Q: HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH EXCEPTIONALLY BUSY TIMES?

For me all the times are the same, the phone ringing non-stop, the Intercom on the other hand,colleagues asking for something at reception so my mind is used to the system and I commit myself to what I’m doing.

But I always ask for the strength from above just to finish my day without clashes and it works for me

Q: HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU INTERACT WITH DURING AN AVERAGE DAY?

Iyoo it’s a lot of people especially contractors who just make me laugh every day, not forgetting all the VVIP’s coming to see the Director.

All those courier drivers dropping off deliveries not a day will pass without receiving a parcel for Eugene☺

All the colleague’s asking for Arno in the morning before I even have a cup of tea

Phila phoning in the morning asking for a Bakkie and Khanyiso just giving me a hard time

Making sure that Albert does not leave the office before he sees Victor

But through it all I just love what I’m doing.

Q: TELL US ABOUT A TIME WHEN YOU HAD TO DEAL WITH AN ANGRY OR UPSET INDIVIDUAL?

I don’t remember having to deal with those types of individuals most of the people that I work with especially from outside we understand and love each other.

And if they are not satisfied about something I listen to them try to resolve the matter and if it is above my shoulders I call Maretha (911☺) and she assist me.
