I have 23 years experience. Career started 2003 when I joined the Technicon in Bloemfontein for a Hospitality Diploma. After 6 months I joined the Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl for my experiential training. I never completed that diploma. Was fortunate enough to finish my diploma and finish 5 years of top in house training, covering all sections in detail.
Last establishment was Anthonij Rupert Wyne a very well known Wine Estate in Franschhoek. I worked there 12 years and decided that I'm looking for a challenge.
