To encourage preventative maintenance and in response to customer requests we have now appointed a field service technician who will be based in Gauteng. Regular inspections on the mobile racking mean lower long term maintenance costs and a far longer economic life for the system itself. It is with much excitement that we announce the addition of Mervin Beck to the Barpro team. Mervin will be based in Johannesburg and will be available to inspect, service and maintain systems within the Johannesburg and surrounding areas. No need to change a tried and tested method, all initial calls will be channelled via Rosetta who in turn will arrange for Mervin to attend to your needs. We wish Mervin many happy years at Barpro Storage.
