Cagwin & Dorward’s Post

I would like to thank Veersgroup, the team, and everyone who has supported me on this journey. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. My Testimony: After finishing school, I began my career as an apprentice at a hair salon. However, six months in, I realized that it wasn’t my passion. About ten years ago, feeling lost, I accepted a position as a general worker for a contractor that stripped gear motors and conveyor belts. This was physically demanding work, and I earned R400 a week. One day, I injured my left hand while handling rusted steel. I simply washed my hands, thinking nothing of it, only to discover weeks later at a government hospital that my swollen infected hand could have led to amputation had I not arrived sooner. Shocked by the nurse’s response and questions leading to this incident, I became acutely aware of the lack of health and safety in my workplace, which sparked my interest in OSHA. I was given the opportunity to study for my SHEMAC certification. Every day, I rode my scooter 90 km to complete my two-week course, where I achieved the top score in my class with 100%. My first job offer was as a Junior H&S Representative with a small engineering company in Brits. Through dedication and determination, I worked my way up to positions such as Junior Safety Officer, SHE Officer, Head of Health and Safety, SHEQ Manager, and eventually Operations Manager of Veersgroup, despite facing setbacks along the way. I’ve had the privilege of working across various industries, including engineering, mining, tailings, automotive, smelting, construction, industrial consulting, and now renewable energy. Please take my word: Never give up. Don’t think your dreams are too small, and never compare yourself to others. Your success is determined by you alone; don’t allow yourself to stagnate or lose focus. Keep pushing and strive to set yourself apart from the norm and mediocrity. Pursue your goals and dreams, and always aim for bigger ones. Success is measured by our appetite to pursue it. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.👌🏻 #healthandsafety #dreambig #commit #nevergiveup Veers Group

On being the D.E.I. (Diligence, Excellence & Imagination) hire with a spin and I am sold. John Leguizamo did an amazing job at explaining representation at this years Emmy's presentation and what it means to us, what it has evolved into and how we can further grow the representation within our fields. I have seen his "Latin History For Morons" show live and it was great too. He is a great example of resilience throughout his career and how to shift from what an industry thinks you "should" be or look like or sound like or what you "should" do into what your true calling and passion is. His insight, inspires me. Por ahora quiero ser el mejor ejemplo para las Latinas en cada industria que represento. https://lnkd.in/gvFqpGcF

In this blog, I talk about unmet expectations. What did you do when there wasn't a blue M&M?

⚠️ News Alert! ⚠️ Approximately 50,000 longshoremen from the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) are on strike, affecting ports from New England to Texas. This is the first strike by the ILA since 1977, following failed negotiations for a new contract with port management. Among the port impacts are New York and New Jersey on the East Coast which serve as the main entry points for wine, beer and spirits imports from Europe and the Mediterranean. Plus, Charleston and Savannah which is a primary port for spirits exports. The impact on global trade will be significant, the latest information is available on our port updates page on our website. We advise customers to speak to their local sales contact to discuss how it will impact your shipments. #hillebrandgori #DHLGlobalForwarding #PortStrikes
