Patrick Govender

I believe that time and productivity is extremely important and therefore I pledge to conduct my tasks promptly and effectively. An employer will find me a loyal and hard-working individual who does not need constant supervision in order to achieve the required targets and goals. In my many years in sales I have built many relationships with directors and other Key personal in most companies that are in transportation and logistics.

I am keen to find a challenging position within a successful and dynamic organization where I will be able to further and develop my skills.
