KwaZulu-Natal industrial technology exhibition tees off

April 2005 News Access Control & Identity Management

To get into the swing of things, organisers of this event, Exhibitions for Africa, hosted a golf day at Royal Durban Golf Club. A friendly atmosphere prevailed as exhibitors, past and current, renewed acquaintances and settled old golf scores.

Walking away with the winner's prize was Shark's rugby player, Albert van den Berg, and fellow golfer, Mathew Pravda. Wayne Robertson from Bergman Seals and Grant Durose from Tennant took second place honours. Nearest to pin was won by GCR Cleaning Service's Murray Gilson, who also won the prize for longest drive of the day.

The KwaZulu-Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition, which is sponsored by Trade & Investment KZN, takes place at the Durban Exhibition Centre from 24 to 27 May this year. This biennial event has deservedly earned a reputation for quality business networking and lead generation opportunities.
