To whom it may concern,

In my working with Mathys in the Limpopo area I have noticed that Mathys is a very hard worker. He is very dedicated and does efficient
planning before doing a New Branch or Project.

I have also seen that he has good Leadership abilities and does not require constant supervision in the sense of following up whether the job has
been done. His feedback on the progress of a major installation is always prompt and accurate.

I believe that Mathys has the ability and knowledge to become a good Team Leader/Manager in his career with GIJIMA.

Kind Regards,

Gideon Boshoff

Importance: High

Hi Louw,

I would just like to extend my thanks and appreciation for the professional manner in which Mathys conducted himself and the feedback during the
most recent server rebuild (trail email refers).

Mathys always takes the initiative to keep all relevant stakeholders updated and informed throughout the entire process. While the client may not
be aware of what happens in the background during one of these rebuilds, from a service management perspective, I can say that Mathys definitely
sets the bar in terms of keeping everyone informed and up-to-date. This eliminates a lot of back-and-forth rhetoric in trying to gather information
when it is required.

Mathys, many thanks for your excellent communication and commitment.

Kind regards,

Andrew Pittendrigh
