Founding Director

Sabelo Zwane

After graduating with a Bachelor of laws (LLB) with Business Management at the University of East London, United Kingdom in 2010, Sabelo worked in financial services regulation, dispute resolution and in management between London and Mbabane for over 9 years. Having spent a large part of his adolescence in Hilltop Mbabane at the family farm, Sabelo returned to Eswatini from London in 2016 to continue his career in finacial services regulation and fintech.

 

In the same year he turned his hand to more creative ventures and began making furniture for family & friends. Thereafter, due to the growing demand of minimalist furniture products, he began scaling the business up to production of wood & steel furniture products that appealed to corporate & residential clients across the Kingdom. Currently, Sabelo directors the sales, finance, project management and administrative function of the business. As well as procurement of the timber, supervising all woodwork; machinery; and prepping the handcrafted wooden products for steel framing.

Director

Edmund Fisher

Eddie Fisher started his career in 1963 with a 5 year apprentice at Bamfords Ltd, a manufacturer of farm machinery and diesel engines, in the United Kingdom. By the end of his apprenticeship he had learnt to weld, panel beat, mechanic and plumb. Thereafter, he was granted a full membership to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London in 1975. Subsequently, as the project development manager of a team, won the Queens award to industry for JCB Front End Loaders. In 1978 Fisher joined the British Aid as a Senior Mechanical Engineer at PVHO in Malawi and later was transfered to Eswatini to execute the same work for the Eswatini Government.

 

In 1985 he started his own business, Agrimech, a Case International Tractor Dealer and thereafter managed a series of engineering companies between Mozambique, Malawi and Eswatini for the next 20 years. In 2013 he finally settled back in Eswatini and went on to establish Fishertechnic (a 3 tonne mini-excavator business) with his son.
