Hands up… who wants smoother business processes?
Brent was born and bred in Cape Town, however he has lived abroad for 5 years which is where he caught the traveling bug. He has been to New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, UK, USA and his personal favourite, the islands of Fiji.
On the 12th & 13th of October two communication days were held in South Africa with our teams based in Cape Town at the Villagers Rugby Club. The days were a great chance for us to share more of our vision for the business and the values we feel will be core to delivering on this.

Technology can be really helpful for tracking and improving our quality of sleep. Apps can monitor things like calorie intake, number of steps taken, physical activity, sleep patterns and so on. But technology can prevent a good night’s sleep if we don't have enough time away from our screens.

"In 2015 a crack commando IT unit was sent to the 5th floor of BridgeGate by a senior management team for a crime they didn't commit. These men (and women) promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Redhill underground. Today, still wanted by the SMT, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

Role: Technical Data Support
I have been working on the 4th floor for about 2 years now assisting the Technical Data department and providing print room and billing support for the entire Redhill site.
