A teacher by profession, Anne graduated from the Grahamstown Teachers’ Training College, before she swapped the classroom for the computer. VPO became part of her life and soul from the outset. Anne is the overseer of the close-knit VPO team and runs a tight ship. Anne’s way with people is special and she has that special knack of connecting to clients on the internet. She is also tasked with sourcing products at the best possible price, with savings that are passed on to her customers. Anne has excellent relationships with her suppliers, which helps in building trust and confidence in the procurement of products. She and Dave have four adult children and three grandchildren. Throughout the years Anne has cared for numerous pets and currently there are two dogs at home, a Jack Russell and a Staffie-Russell (and on the sofa!)
