George Garanewako

I have expansive and broad experience in wood manufacturing and technology. I am an apprentice, trained professional with over 23 years experience and I am ready to take on my next challenge. Having worked in various companies in Cape Town and Gauteng as a Workshop Manager and hands on, in the workshop and sites, I am adaptable, flexible and pay close attention to detail.

I work hard and efficiently with no need for supervision. The variety of tasks I undertake has enabled me to develop strong organisational skills and hone my time management. My greatest pleasure is being at the front line of innovation in the Industry, engaging with staff and clients alike; my confident and professional interpersonal skills allow me to execute my job profile without it looking like work.
