Bio
Samantha Witts
I found Robert to be exceptionally well organised and highly motivated, and I was extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him for over a year. Robert expertly filled the role of Client Project Manager where his integrity and strong interpersonal skills translated into his ability to inspire a multi-company project team to collaborate, bringing about the successful delivery of a major project. Robert would be an asset to any team.

Robert Vuurens showed an in-depth knowledge of the subjects he had to deal with, combined with a practical view of how to manage them at the same time. A very strong and healthy negotiator towards the client. And a good manager to his staff.
