Fourways originally started as a “one man band” so to speak. A small little company imagined by one of our founders Richard Perry with a staff compliment of 4. Richard saw a gap in the market. Big brands such as Samsung were selling air con units, then considered luxury goods or mainly for commercial purposes, but didn’t have the backing in terms of spare parts when it came to repairs and maintenance of units
Fast forward 21 years and 4 months, we are now National and International corporation with over 200 employees, 9 branches and 2000 customers. We’re a family orientated business who care about each other, we call ourselves the #fourwaysfam, and we believe it’s important to have a proper work life balance. With that being said though the saying is true when it comes to “work hard, play hard”. If you put in the efforts you will reap what you sow. We believe every single person in the organisation has an important role to play in giving the absolute best service to our clients and a strong team is only as strong as its weakest link. Above all else; service is what we sell!
