Testimonials

Isabelle Dechamps Founder & Director at BELAFRIQUE

I have known Rudi forever - I honestly have lost count. We've been through tick and thin. I remember the phone calls over COVID to boost each others spirits. Rudi is more than just a VERY passionate sales person, yet he is a dedicated human being. He is determined to make this world a better place. What I love most about Rudi, aside from him being extremely experienced in our hospitality industry & that I have full trust in his Portfolio, is that he can be childlike excited about e.g. a sunset, a newly printed business card, pinning on his Indaba badge.... These moments of excitement, happiness, pride in what he does,... show me Rudi's true colours and authenticity... those are the people I like to surround myself with and can only recommend other to do the same.

It gives me great pleasure to endorse Rudi Wagenaar. We have worked together many times over the years with the latest being at La Cle des Montagnes in Franschhoek where he brought fresh ideas and a new perspective to our Sales and Marketing plan. He helped in establishing La Cle to be the world renowned Lodge it became. I have always found Rudi professional and dedicated to his work. He is very well connected and well respected in the hospitality industry. His passion, drive, endless energy and enthusiasm for his work goes beyond the norm. I can confidently recommend Rudi to any company looking to grow or upgrade their Sales and Marketing profile - he will definitely be able to add value to any Sales and Marketing project that he takes on.
