Andries Pretorius

South African family are ready

Philtronics was recently awarded the Special Contribution Award at @KLAcorp's 2024 Supplier Day in San Francisco! This recognition reflects our commitment to innovation, growth and partnership - values we uphold every day 🏆 At the event, we heard inspiring leadership insights from Steve Kerr, Coach of the USA Men's basketball team and former 5 time NBA Champion, showing how lessons from sports like teamwork, strategy and resilience apply to business. Our collaborator here at Philtronics, @AndriesPret, has also helped us foster these qualities, empowering our teams to stay agile and collaborative in the fast-moving electronics industry 💡 Speaking of teamwork, we recently partnered with @actnforchildren in support of @greatdaysgolf ’s Inclusion Academy! With our own Philtronics Academy, we understand the importance of creating opportunities and showing people they can achieve more than they thought possible. And with the Inclusion Academy even offering a scholarship for a young person to pursue golf professionally, it’s a powerful reminder that both sport and business can open doors to new beginnings. We're proud to continue pushing boundaries thanks to the support of our partners. Together, we’re in it to win it!

Aging like a fine Tongan Wine. Happy birthday @maamamolitika great to see you and the family.

Something almost no one spotted. A member of the coaching staff to support players with their off field interests, who also happens to be head of the players union. I believe he did the role at the previous WC too.Clearly collaboration can work! @theRPA @theWRPA @IntRugbyPlayers

@BobsBlitz Hi @BobsBlitz I guess I’m a bit biased because I did ice baths as a pro athlete nearly every day. However, as a psychologist I know how beneficial cold water and breathing is for brain health. Send me an email to andries@1stepnorth.com and I will show you exactly what I do.

Hi Adries, @AndriesPret do you do cold water plunges with Isaacs? Found that to be really rough. THX.

@CaseyLaulala Still the best step in the game brother!!!

Hard to fathom that it’s been 13 years since I relocated to Cardiff—a truly remarkable place and experience. #cardiffblues #rugby #journey

@EatSleepTrain_ @huntie_1 @Glos_PuryWRFC @HartpuryRFC @speed_works_ You two absolute legends!!!

We have @huntie_1 with us the next couple weeks. Gloucesters finest @Glos_PuryWRFC @HartpuryRFC and the catalyst for my coaching journey! @speed_works_

All Blacks not giving the Boks an inch in the first quarter so far! Some exceptional athletes out there!

@thepaulwilliams We’ve actually tried this with some 360 cameras. It’s possible.

Rugby somehow needs to get a camera in and underneath the front 3 at scrum time. I'm thinking a drone camera the size of a five pence piece. Skillfully flown in and out. People will say it's a piped dream. I say bollocks.

@Bigt8409 @Cardiff_Rugby @ChampionsCup Maybe it’s best that photo isn’t dug up Tony. 😉🤜🏼🤛🏼

@Cardiff_Rugby @ChampionsCup Trying to dig out my failed attempt at a selfie with @AndriesPret which just turned into a massive photo of his dodgy moustache from after that game…

📷 Another memorable moment in the @ChampionsCup 🏆 🗓️ 11.11.11 Were you there for the 26-20 win over Racing Metro? Here's to more memorable moments in 2023-24. Season Memberships available by visiting eticketing.co.uk/cardiffrugby ... or calling 029 20 302030

In this #learningdisabilityweek we are sharing our views on the importance of the mandatory Paul Ridd Learning Disability Awareness Training. What a great week to complete it if you haven't already done so! ❤️🧡💚@AndriesPret #makeadifference #reasonableadjustments Please share!

We have had a great day recording a podcast for #learningdisabilityweek promoting the Paul Ridd Learning Disability Awareness training. Thank you so much @AndriesPret from One Step North, for your time and encouragement! Keep your eyes peeled every day next week......👀

Teacher: who is this? 3 boys in the front, without missing a beat: SUPERMAN!!! 😂#southafrica

@christombs71 @VigorGround No way was that 3mins bru!!!! Some location though 💪🏼👍🏼

Slovenia… not just for a VBT workshop! Hike, trying new foods, river cold dip, great company and good conversation. I’ll post my reflections of the 4 VBT workshops in Europe over the next few days.

Still one of my favourite guys to talk to. Love seeing how the Pods grown since then. Ps. Who remembers lock down hair?

Well done @cardiffuni on winning the Varsity cup 2023. A lot of hard work by a team punching well above their weight this season. Sneak peak before we launch what I’ve been working on for the last 3 years next week. #immersivelearning #VR

Happy Christmas

Earning the right for opportunities to come my way today. Definitely the coldest one so far.

@CharrMoses 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@AndriesPret 51g protein, 6g fat, 27g carbohydrates and 373 calories! Ready for the day 💪🏼 I also didn’t forget my glass of water either!

What a brilliant working day listening to @AndriesPret talk about the importance of well-being and mental health. I’ve never left work feeling so good! Absolutely inspiring!
