In 2003, after studying Marketing Communication and Sports Management at Stellenbosch, Willie moved to England where he worked for Land Rover in stock control and later as Manager in the logistics department.

After four years Willie decided to return to South Africa and started working for Murray & Roberts (now Concor) as a Construction Health and Safety Officer, where he worked on numerous projects including Green Point Stadium, Taj Palace, and Cape Town Film Studios. 

After five years at Murray & Roberts, Willie decided it was time to change direction and began working for a leading scaffold company in Cape Town. He remained here for the next 11 years, fulfilling the role of Contracts Manager for eight of these years and gaining invaluable experience in the scaffolding and formwork industry.

In 2021, Willie joined the rest of the Alpine Scaffolding team as Contracts Director and a Partner in the company.

As Contracts Director at Alpine Scaffolding, Willie focuses largely on:

• New Business procurement.
• Building and managing client relationships.
• Analysing client specifications and requirements.
• Tendering for new contracts.
• Managing contracts to suit clients’ expectations.
• Reviewing and costing of completed contracts.
