Quintin Oelofse
Ek is Quintin Oelofse, 30 jaar oud, en gaan nou vir my sesde jaar by Animal Worx familie wees. Ek het so baie geleer oor die jare en is glad nie spyt oor een dag nie.
Ek moet ook deel as jy nog nie by ons 'n draai gemaak het nie, mis u uit!
Elke lid van ons span se passie vir die winkel is regtig iets om te beleef. Ons gee regtig om, en jy sal dit op jou troeteldier se gesig kan sien.
Andersins met my vrye tyd hou ek daarvan om tyd te spandeer saam met Liza my lief, Rambo my beardie, Shinji my kietsie en Yuna my cockatiel. O, en my kuier kat Mackenzie.
Dit is elke dag 'n seen om hulle sien na 'n dag by die werk.
My stokperdjies is vliek kyk, animasie lees, playstation speel en harde musiek luister.
Die groot dinge wat ek ooit wou bereik het in my lewe, is wat ek elke dag doen. Ek kan net vir my Ma(Jeanne) dankie se dat sy agter my gestaan het en al die mense wie vir my hierdie geleentheid gegun het, julle weet wie julle is. Dankie vir die bystand.
If we could feed and clothe every man, women and child on earth, we will be able to explore space and beyond.- Bill Hickes
Malize Hattingh
Owner
My name is Malize and I share my house and live with 7 other creatures; Hennie, my husband, 4 cats and 2 dogs
(in no particular order!).
After school I finished my BSc degree in Zoology and Microbiology. A year later I completed my BSc Honors degree in Environmental Impact Assessment and Conservation. I would have done just about anything to become a veterinarian. So in 2001 I completed a project with Potchefstroom Agricultural College on sheep and liver fluke. I was responsible for getting and analyzing sheep faeces (jip I was desperate). So end 2006 all the dirty work paid off and I became a veterinarian. I worked as a locum for a year and a half at all sorts of strange places before ending up at PvR animal clinic in April 2008. I love working with all animals but I'm totally silly over cats. I love reading, writing, driving proper 4x4's and anything that comes in yellow!

Irene Ferreira
General Manager
32, general manager at Animal Affair and Animal Worx, practice manager at Pierre van Ryneveld Veterinary Clinic
and single mom of Emma-Ray, my beautiful daughter, born the 10th of July 2010 - my biggest challenge and greatest pleasure!
From Vryburg, I grew up in a house full of people and animals. My three sisters and I were raised to appreciate the beautiful things in life. On the farm, we often helped my mom and dad work the cattle and goats, or just enjoy the openness of the veld or go horse riding. Growing up, I wanted to study to become a veterinarian, but ended up doing my BA in environmental management through Unisa, while working full-time. Through the years, I neglected my studies, but with the arrival of Emma-Ray, decided to complete my studies, and got my degree in Feb 2013. I'm currently busy with a short programme in Retail Management and I hope to start with my Honors in Environmental management in 2014. I've been the manager at PvR vet since 2004 and was appointed general manager at Animal Affair and Animal Worx in March 2013. It is a great challenge and with this great team of people, the sky is the limit! I love spending time with Emma-Ray, going to the movies, reading, hiking, coffee and chocolates..
Motto: Do whatever it takes...if it takes more, do more and keep on doing it until you do it right!
Sunelle Oakes
Admin Manager
My naam is Sunelle Oakes. Ek is die admin bestuurder by Animal Affair en Animal Worx.
Ek is al 10 jaar getroud met Eugene Oakes en ek het 2 pragtige blondekop kindertjies. Tiffany is 6 en Nathan 3 jaar oud. Behalwe vir my werk waaroor ek baie passievol is, hou ek daarvan om in my vrye tyd in die kombuis te 'eksperimenteer'. As ek nie in die oggende my 'spinning' fiets trap nie, voel ek ek pak die dag nie op die regte noot aan nie. Ek het twee pekingese plat gesig hondjies wat my eerste 'kinders' is, asook 'n kanarie en skilpadjie wat net by ons huis op gedaag het.
I married my husband, Andrew, in 2009 and our little girl, Megan, was born in February. We share our home with 7 cats and 3 dogs.
My biggest passion is cats both big and small
Animal Worx is the first workplace where I can honestly say that I am truly happy at.
I am part of a dynamic and hardworking team of wonderful people that has become a big part of my life. You know you have a problem when you dream of explaining to a customer how best to set up a new aquarium, which happens quite often!
My hobbies include helping animal shelters with networking their animals that are looking for homes, playing and caring for my own pets, reading good books and falling asleep in cinemas...
I was born and raised in a single-parent household in the Cape and I lived there until age 10, when we moved to Pretoria.
I was a very shy child, preferring the company of animals to that of people. I was raised in a household filled with cats, dogs and later horses. That didn't keep me from sneaking in all types of critters like frogs, scorpions and hedgehogs.

She has never let me down and for that she will always have a special place in my heart.
I would also like to thank everyone who believed in me and were there for me...
Without you guys I wouldn't be where I am today!
I'm a kind, beautiful, intelligent woman and I'm always up for a challenge. I'm a hard worker and I love what I do.
I started at Animal Worx at the young age of 21 as a cleaner, but as time went by, I started working myself up into a better position. I am currently a sales assistant, but the sky is the limit!
I am so grateful and would like to say thank you to Noeline for seeing my potential and giving me the chance.

Die spannetjie saam met wie ek werk is almal baie besonderse mense en ek weet sommer ons gaan nog 'n lang suksesvolle pad saam stap :)
Hi almal, my naam is Desire. Ek is 20 jaar oud en ek't 'n tweeling sussie waarvoor ek berge sal klim.
Ek is die nuutste en jongste in die winkel. Ek het in Januarie 2013 by Animal Worx begin.
Dis my eerste keer in hierdie soort bedryf, maar ek het 'n baie sagte plekkie vir diere en ek's gretig om meer te leer.
Dis nooit te vroeg of te laat om nuwe uitdagings aan te pak en te leer nie.

in finding the best products for their animals’ health and happiness fulfilling in its own way. Since starting this job in March 2013 there hasn’t been a single dull moment working alongside my great colleagues, meeting new people and learning something new about the wonderful world of pets every day. When I’m not working (and actually when I’m working) some of my hobbies include eating my weight in chocolate, daydreaming about marrying Johnny Depp and saving the planet one light switch at a time. And that’s me in a tiny nutshell.
My name is Barbara Kellerman, I am 20 years old and I work as a sales assistant at Animal Worx. I absolutely love all animals and love any environment that involves them. Seeing as I don’t have the stomach to become a vet or the finances to donate thousands to welfare, I have found assisting people

At Animal Worx I learned many things about pets. Pets are not just pets, they deserve to be treated with respect, we can talk to them, they make us happy. And when they are sick, we feel sad. At Animal Worx we have everything a happy pet needs and strive to make our customers leave even happier.
We treat our customers, colleagues like 1 family.
I'm Albert Seleticha 26 years of age, stay in Atteridgeville ext17 Tswane. I am a hard worker, eager to learn and interact at all levels. I'm a merchandiser at Animal Worx in Southdowns shopping center.

Ek het op n plaas groot geword , so van kleins af was dit ek en die natuur ,beste speel ding wat bestaan. Diere was deel van my lewe op n daaglikse basis.Ek onthou ons het n mak koei gehad met die naam 'swartie'. Sy was die oulikste gedierte ooit en toe raak sy eenkeer op n dag ongelooflik siek van iets ,ek was nog nooit so ontsteld in my hele lewe nie.Van daai dag af het ek besluit my wereld sal altyd om diere draai of dit nou my beroep is of nie.Nog n passie van my is mense , dus die sielkundige rigting. Ek is mal daaroor om met mense te praat, ek sal vir ure oor n saak kan praat sonder om moeg te raak, maar kan nie dieselfde se van die mense met wie ek praat nie
My naam is Shaun Pyper, ek is 19,amper 20. My droom is om eendag ‘n neuro psigiater te word. Ek studeer nou op die oomblik sielkunde, maar deel ook n groot passie vir diere.
