Brandon White

Hi there

my name is Brandon, i am a 36year old from Cape town.

I have been working from a young age, doing electrical work for most of my adult life.

i am a hard worker, and take pride in my work and still do my work to the best of my ability.

my work over the years have ranged from small electrical jobs, to doing cable fault finding, to doing condition monitoring on a wide range of electrical assets, to being a technician and working on metal working machines, ranging from manual lathes to big cnc milling machines to cnc laser and plasma cutters.

So i have a wide array of skills and knowledge that i have accumulated over the years and no one can take that away from me.

In my free time I enjoy fishing, diving and being outdoors.
