The company has expanded after an extremely strong start to 2010, plus additional activity generated by the 2010 World Cup, which has seen a flurry of business for the lighting sales company.
Judd Harrison comes onboard as technical support, where he joins DWR's Bruce Riley, Nick Britz and Eazy Moketsi. A key element of DWR's success is the after sales support and technical back-up. It also means that the warehouse will be fully staffed allowing Britz to take an increasingly active role in onsite technical training and product support, while Riley covers all the on-site and on-the-road tech support requirements.
Harrison has considerable experience in electronics engineering. He previously worked for sales company Tadco for five years, where he specialised in systems integration. Before then he also worked in the industry in Cape Town.
Derek Kruger becomes the new workshop manager at DWR's Strijdom Park HQ after an industry career in service and repair, most recently working for rental company Sound Stylists, before which he freelanced.
Nicolet Britz is combining some reception duties with general administration.
Says DWR's MD Duncan Riley, "Investing in the right people is fundamental to the company's success and its smooth operation, and all three of these share our philosophies and commitment to excellence with a smile."
