Ian Murray
Strand, Western Cape - CAPE TOWN, SA
For the Past 5 years I've been running my own business as a Rubble Remover in the Western Cape. Mostly servicing the Building Industry, but not limited to it.
My best marketable skill are the abilities to co-ordinate and organise, coupled with strong communication skills. I handle finance, staffing, time constraints and budgets methodically and am always tactful, diplomatic and honest
However empowering it is to be self employed, the challenges our industry is facing will jeopardize the success of my business. It is not a gamble I'm willing to take.
Back to the beginning...
I studied at Teachers training College Pretoria and obtained my teachers Diploma in 1997.
Soon after I spent 2 years teaching in London.
Back in SA I started a Recruitment business contracted by A Teachers Placement Company in Ilford, London.
I was a Certified Financial adviser for the better part of 5 years for Old Mutual and for Standard Bank PFA.
I spent some time in Nambia, Swakopmund as a Manager of a family-owned furniture store and also managed a Adventure business offering deep sea fishing, and tented camps.
