Warren Devitt

David du Plessis is a rare find in the service industry. I have had the great pleasure of making use of David's products and services over the years and referring him to mutual clients when he was in business for himself. The consummate professional who always over delivers and takes great pride in building strong relationships. A champion networker, and always a stand out performer with a problem solving attitude.

David would be an asset to any organisation looking for a conscientious and dedicated person. I've admired the way David takes a pride in what he does. He's customer focussed and genuinely cares about people. This is therefore an easy recommendation!
