Also celebrated on the night was Sales Solutions Engineer, Hennie Lombard, named Design and Support Electronic Sector Professional of the Year.

From multi-server architecture for law enforcement to advanced system upgrades for education and utilities sites, Hennie is known for his ability to solve challenges with persistence and precision.
“Hennie exemplifies excellence in our industry,” says Wayne Scott. “He doesn’t just provide solutions, he takes ownership of challenges and ensures customers are fully supported from start to finish.”
