More About Linda Botha
Coming from a predominantly advertising background, with Diploma in advertising and marketing, Linda started SkillsTrain Distribution in 2004, an importer and distributor of a wide range of training materials for niche markets in the Fire, Rescue, and Health & Safety industry and represents most major publishers globally. Since then she has taken the company to new heights, receiving multiple accolades and awards over the years, she believes that continual persistence, optimism and always being hopeful and believing in oneself are the ultimate keys to a successful business.
The opportunities the success of the business has provided are what drive Linda. It has enabled her to make a difference, to assist our people and departments which has in turn enabled the company to give back.
She says the challenge is extremely stimulating and rewarding to watch the growth and professionalism that emerge from our various departments.
Linda is passionate about consistent change. New products, new opportunities, continuously changing technologies, and information. The importing and tendering business is always a stressful one, a pressure-filled environment that requires you to master your thoughts and yourself. Solid relationships are vital. To sustain a business model, one has to be consistently creative, look for new and innovative products and marketing opportunities, and move with what that market segment requires at the given time.
