Ernest has been with Amrod for 22 years - two years before it was established as Amrod Corporate. One of 12 children, he worked as a Security Guard and was living in a shack in Alexandra, but then he was offered the opportunity of a lifetime...
I was the Security Guard where Amit used to live and he was always so friendly to me, asking how I was and if I wanted something to eat. Then one day he said, “Ernie, I’m starting a small business, do you want to come work for me?” I said yes because I was confident he would not let me down. We started with selling cell phone accessories. I worked in the storeroom and helped with sales.
Over the years I have worked in many positions in the company, in stores, overflow warehouse and for the last two years in online deliveries, dispatching over 100 orders per day.
There are many opportunities to grow at Amrod which I think is a rare thing in South Africa.
At Amrod, the sky is the limit. Now, I own a car and have a house in Centurion. Amrod lifted me out of poverty. In 2019, at 45, I completed my matric certificate. Amit always encouraged me by asking how my studies were going. I’m so glad I met this man, otherwise, where would I be?
