Keith Roseveare, General Manager of SIMAERO Johannesburg training center, commented “This cooperation and deal is an excellent example of SIMAERO’s advantage to be chosen as the preferred partner for Housing and Maintenance. Not only our maintenance quality is of the highest standard, but we also offer clients the opportunity to anticipate and manage their options upon contract termination.
