From small beginnings as a soil-testing business based in the garage of founder Lesley Crawford and her business partner Gary Brown over 40 years ago, WearCheck has grown into one of the leading condition monitoring companies on the African continent today.
Lesley, who now lives in France, made a special visit to the company on a recent trip back to South Africa. As many of the current employees in the Pinetown branch were already employed by the time Lesley left the company in 2005, her visit was a happy reunion for these folk. Newer staff members enjoyed getting to meet the amazing lady whose foresight, scientific knowledge and business acumen helped set WearCheck onto a growth course that still hasn’t ended.
Managing director Neil Robinson presented her with some WearCheck memorabilia to celebrate the company’s 40th birthday, including a book on the history of WearCheck, a commemorative latte glass and, of course, some cake.
