Beni Hafoka <\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

General Manager<\/strong>
Beni joined the business in 1999 as a 17 year old apprentice. After lots of hard work, 15 years later in 2014, he took the plunge and become the owner. With a wealth of technical knowledge and experience he will look after you. Always quick with a joke and rarely seen without a smile, Beni is a rare breed. A fisherman at heart but don’t get him started on this subject unless you have some time to kill.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t \n\t \n\t\t\t\t\"Craig_copy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
