There's a Bright Bunch at Gearhouse in 2018

The Gearhouse Group of Companies has made a significant investment in the latest Lighting technology over the start of 2018. “It’s crucial for us as the largest technical supplier in South Africa to make this sort of regular CAPEX outlay. It keeps our capabilities ahead of the pack,” says Peter Abrahamse, Lighting Workshop Manager in the Johannesburg Branch. “So far, we have taken delivery of 460 brand-new lighting fixtures and 7 new desks, which have immediately been deployed around the country. We split the purchase between the Gearhouse South Africa and INHOUSE Venue Technical Management branches according to their specific requirements.”
