ABOUT US

Cheldon spent many years leading project teams in the refrigeration industry, which often took him to a number of countries in Africa. His people skills have always been his trademark, treating every team member with respect and working with them rather than above them.

Since moving over to project planning he has worked on a variety of projects, including power generation, manufacturing plants, and oil & gas. Cheldon is a go getter and the man when you need to get things done. His focus is on the project, so he works with all contractors involved to get the project to its destination.

While working as a technician, installing complex irrigation systems, Celito got a taste of running projects, albeit with small, often one man teams. After completing the Principles of Project Planning course through Profactaplan, he applied these skills to his irrigation projects. He saw the difference this made in his projects and started looking for an opportunity to migrate to project planning. It was fitting that his first steps in the industry would be in the place he learned his skills in the first place, Profactaplan. Since then he has proven to be a determined mind who will stop at nothing to get it right. With a strong sense of principle, he ensures that his planning is done by the book.
