The idiom (cliche) tells us that "we are only as strong as our weakest link". Fortunately, our links are all strong!
We are truly grateful for the amazing team that has grown around us, without whom we could not possibly have endured and grown as we have!
So, let's introduce the Hi-Q Howick Team to you!
Heading up the operation is founder and owner of Hi-Q Howick. Gary will mostly be found in the reception area manning the sales desk - although he spends much time in the workshop overseeing the work. Gary is passionate about his business and loves trouble shooting and problem-solving for customers.
Graydon Norris (I should probably introduce him as Chuck as I don't think even he knows himself as Graydon anymore!) Chuck is our multi-talented counter salesperson who always has a story to tell. (Just don't get him started on his band days....)
Aronel Beukes - our behind-the-scenes lady. You may come across her in reception making herself and her colleagues a cup of coffee, but normally Aronel is hidden up in her "office with a view" above the workshop making sure that all our admin is in order.
Shane Rykart (aka Ken) – Shane joined Hi-Q Howick a year ago as our alignment technician. We are truly fortunate to have him in our team as he is a genuine expert in his field.
Sibusiso Ndlovu – (aka Sbu) has been with us from the very outset and is an invaluable part of the Hi-Q Howick team. He is our legendary and dreadlocked star welder.
Sibonelo Sikhakhane (aka Mechanic) – has also been with us from Day One! He is our general all-round workshop and tyre guy, stepping in and stepping up wherever he is needed.
Ceboh Xulu (aka Shifting) – there’s a story behind all the nicknames, all in jest! Shifting is the tallest staff member in the workshop! Shifting is also our general all-rounder, helping wherever he can in the workshop.
Tristian Uys (aka Barbie) – our most recent addition to the team, this sailor boy has made his services available to The Greater Ambers on behalf of Hi-Q Howick and we are grateful for his initiative and positive input!
Zandile Mvubu – Zandile’s smiling face is ever-present around the shop, whether she’s keeping things clean and tidy or making sure that there is a constant supply of coffee, popcorn, and slushy.
