CURRENT EMPLOYMENT:Since January of 2012 I have channelled most of my energy and time into my already existing Shuttle business (established 2005). I have also continued doing freelance work for PPS (see below), by way of acquiring and securing confirmed leads for further possible sales for one particular branch in their Parktown offices. I have also continued marketing and doing ‘Voiceover’ work on a part-time basis.
