Career Accomplishments
Worked for the AECI group in South Africa for over 22 years, having spent the last 12 years as the SHEQ Officer for the company. I was right hand to the SHEQ Manager and between us we ran the SHEQ department covering over 500 employees from HO in JHB to the manufacturing facility in Ubogentwini and over 30 satellite offices throughout Southern Africa, covering other African states and Mauritius. There was a lot of travelling and training and I covered internal investigations and audits and ran the HSE drills and meetings at HO. Alongside this we also headed up the marketing department.

I've been with PSD almost 10 years, I started as an administrator, jack of all trades - now currently Office Manager based in the Leyland office, looking after the accounts and general day to day admin duties.
