Meet Louise Van Lingen,
Operations Member at Kwamahlati Training Services.
Louise has been an integral part of the organisation since 2012 and as such has acquired an intimate knowledge of the organisation and the broader Forestry and Agricultural Training environment we serve.
She is happily married to Albert, and she has a wide range of interests which include shooting and fishing – at a national level. Louise is also a registered Cricket umpire, a rare accomplishment in a sport that is traditionally male dominated. Louise is driven by strong beliefs and values, and these have had a positive influence on her outlook and general zest for life.
At Kwamahlati Training Services, Louise functions at the nerve centre of our operations, servicing all facets from Customers to Suppliers, inputs and outputs and everything in-between. She is known for her resourcefulness, thinking on her feet and being dynamic especially in the everchanging environment of training administration. As a qualified Assessor and competent presenter, she is an asset to our organisation and is readily at your service.
