Women in the Industry on service and delivery, we still today try to live up to these building blocks. This has been an incredible journey and learning curve for me. Challenges I would say one of my biggest challenges in the work environment, is to prove to our customers that a woman can also be a LMI and do the work required. Something that few people know about you I love reading and enhancing my knowledge of aromatic oils and remedies for natural health. Management style I am very involved with the day to day running of Beam Industrial, and have a close working relationship with all the staff. I also promote a open door policy and want the staff to talk to me should they need help or assistance with anything. Personal Best Achievement My two daughters, Tania (12) and Twané (9), I cannot imagine my life without them and I hope that they know that they can come to me with anything that is troubling them.
