Bio
Nic Lourens
I worked with Kevin during 2010 while in my employment with JB Attachments. Kevin is the consummate professional and highly skilled in managing personnel of various abilities and positions within a manufacturing situation. Kevin has an extraordinary ability to remain calm while work situations are under extreme pressures, making the right decisions at the right time. He has a very high level of skill and ability to motivate personnel, mostly due to his interpersonal skills and instil confidence and leadership due to his detailed understanding of complex manufacturing challenges. Kevin is a very mature gentleman and I would recommend him for roles where exceptional personnel management and leadership are required.
