Richard Oliver

With a formal schooling in the area of Human Recourses, a later education in technical drafting and currently studying Project/Quality Management he is a great asset in several areas to the business. His recent promotion to the position of General Manager is also well supported by his peers. His commitment and dedication has also earned him a minority profit share in the company.

His areas of responsibility include BEE compliance, quality sampling, policies & procedures implementation, project costing & estimation, drafting & design and business strategy alignment. He has an attention-to-detail no-nonsense approach which fits in ideally with the company's slogan of: "Expertise, Quality, Service". He is ultimately satisfied with a product only if delivered on time, every time.

What defines AS Automation? Richard says:
"We have the expertise to do most of the manufacturing in-house which makes us a competitive force to be reckoned with. Our slogan is not just a slogan but it is a work culture embraced daily by all our employees. Our company is continuously evolving and I am glad to be part of this growing change."
