On this day exactly 12 years ago, 12 March 2012 I started the most incredible journey of my professional life. When I started my first day at ZKTeco South Africa I was employee number 4. I cannot believe how far this company has come. The amount of effort that has been put into growing our brand, perfecting our range and still, to this day offering world-class security solutions at affordable prices.
In the years past we have grown by leaps and bounds. Forged into a strong unit that lives our company's creed of reaching farther and being better.
We moved offices away from Hartbeespoort and settled comfortably into the hustle and bustle of Gauteng in order to better serve our customers.
The ZK I know and love today is light years away from the one where I started. Obviously because of the technological revolution happening everywhere but also because our company has kept pace with this revolution. We are constantly pushing the boundaries of the security industry with smart offerings and full solutions that just makes sense to people using it. And let me brag a bit. Many, MANY people worldwide use ZKTeco products and solutions every day of their lives. It is just so effortless they do not even notice it anymore. And it that not the point of security.
The picture below should sum up my feelings today. Sitting at my desk, I am surrounded by my company and gratitude fills me.
Thank you Hendrik Combrinck for the incredible journey and being the kindest mentor anyone can wish for. You have pushed me to become the best employee I can possibly be, by making sure I do not stand still. Always learning, always keeping pace, this way my mind does not petrify and I can give my best every single day. And also because your blood is as green as mine. We are both Powered by ZKTeco.
I sincerely wish for this journey to never end. I have found my home. It is the very best. And I wish this for everyone.
