A brief overview of the work experience follows, gained by Des in the Gabion industry.
He worked many years for various companies in the civil engineering industry as a technical sales representative for companies and later as the purchasing manager and estimator at Basil Read in the past.
He joined Land Rehabilitation Systems (Pty) Ltd in March 2000, and worked with Louis Cheyne where he represented us as a marketing and technical agent in the Eastern Cape area for a few years.
He worked extensively with civil engineering consultants, contractors and government departments, including Sanparks, The Department of Agriculture, Department of Environmental Affairs, Expanded Public Works, among others, where he offered assistance with design, price estimates, gabion technical advice and practical training on site until mid 2004.
He joined Maccaferri in 2004 in a similar position until December 2018, after which he rejoined Louis Cheyne at Gabion Baskets, as we were needing someone of his caliber and experience to handle our business in the Eastern Cape and elsewhere as required.
Des has gained extensive experience over the years and looks forward to being of assistance to you in any queries you may have regarding the Gabion soil erosion and related retention wall business.
