While our IT dudes work tirelessly to ensure that our systems run faultlessly, occasionally something tricky sneaks in. That’s where Barrie and his support team come in – they have the (mostly) thankless task of sorting out browser and advertiser glitches. Here’s what keeps them going.
**
*Barrie *
“A former biokineticist by profession, and now an MBA graduate, I come alive through serving others. As head of the Customer Support Desk I listen to all the customer conversations that take place around me and consciously work at creating a positive vibe in what can be considered the heartbeat of this online marketing portal. For fun, I restore old Vespa scooters and compete in physically challenging sports.”
*Michelle *
“I have been with the Private Property team from 2006 and it is the best place to be. As the years have gone by I have become a granny and my granddaughter is now almost three years old. She’s the light of my life!”
*Xandre *
“I am a happy, smiley, energetic kinda girl, and nothing gets me down. My character suits this position perfectly – bring me a problem, and I will gladly sort it out for you! I love to use all my energy on a soccer field. Now that’s what you call a passion! I take each day as it comes and my main phrase is ‘stress less’.”
*Mchekeni *
“I believe I have a great sense of humour and enjoy interacting with everyone – I’m definitely a people’s person, and laughter really is the best medicine! I spend most of my time with my family and the rest studying for my marketing qualification. But Private Property is like home away from home and I love every moment of it.”
*Lulu *
“I am a free spirit who is on an epic journey of self-discovery. A Cost and Management Accounting graduate, I’ve been bitten by the customer service industry bug. I am obsessed with fashion, motorbikes and cars (I talk the torque), have a passion for investing and stock markets, and I love tigers, doing charity work and any adrenalin-rushing activities.”
*Tiff *
“It’s all about the little things for me. From waking up with a kiss from my dog, or getting to work to make someone smile … these are the kind of things that drive me. I am a proud, loud, cheeky Afrikaans girl with a little dash of English. I love spending my free time at home with my loved ones – my boyfriend and my pit bull Blaze.”
*Sane *
“I'm dedicated to my job as I enjoy what I do – helping people. There is never a dull moment as I learn new things every day! I love spending time with my kids, and I love sports and watching my son play. He’s good at what he does. My kids are the reason I look forward to waking up every morning because they inspire me and give me my drive.”
Roshenka
“I am passionate, driven and inspired with everything that I do – not because I want to be the best at what I do – I want to be awesome! My life is filled with amazing, beautiful people and not forgetting my dog, Thor. If I am not at work or playing with Thor, I am at my computer with headphones on, online gaming!”
*Shamain *
“Shamain – my name says it all: I’m unique! Inspiration is what drives me. I’ve been with Private Property since 2008 and my biggest inspiration here is Justin Clarke. I’m part of the support team and I love it. Team players are what we’re about and I believe my team rocks. My motto is: ‘You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great’.”
