Why Choose WIT?
Growing up in a household where my father was an entrepreneur inspired me to follow the same path.
After my mother’s passing in 1992, I inherited a few thousand Rands, which allowed me to secure an overdraft to launch a small business. While still employed at Tridonic South Africa, I set up shop in the spare room of my home, working tirelessly to make it successful.
A year later, I hired my first employee to assist with collecting goods and assembling machines. The following year, I found it increasingly difficult to balance my full-time job with my growing business. In 1996, with my family’s support, I left my secure, well-paying position to fully commit to the IT sector. Although it feels like ages ago, it was the right decision. I’ve had countless enjoyable learning experiences and formed lasting friendships that have provided support and guidance throughout my journey.
Over the years, we have developed unique, custom-designed solutions for our clients and built strong relationships based on integrity. We’ve been fortunate to retain key employees whose contributions have propelled our business to new heights.
Thirty two years later, despite our growth, we still hold the belief that “service sells.” By prioritizing our clients’ interests, we find that the business thrives. This philosophy has proven effective time and again, and I am grateful to all who have helped make this journey possible.
John Wileman
Founder
I chose to start a part-time business focused on repairing and upgrading computers, fueled by my lifelong passion for technology. Growing up in a family rich in technical expertise, I gained a wide-ranging knowledge base through years of exposure to fields like electrical engineering, industrial electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and related industries.
Over the past 32 years of working with clients across diverse sectors, my role at WIT has evolved from a technical position to that of a business owner.
My business philosophy has always been simple: "Take care of my clients' interests, and the money will take care of itself."
