GL: Congratulations on completing 25 years of service, Marc and Morné. You are also celebrating Century Avionics’ 45th anniversary this year. Despite the challenges of the aviation market, you have come a long way.
MC: We look back on the road we have travelled to get where we are today and consider our strengths, values and leadership as key ingredients. But at the end it is the Grace of the Lord and the people in the company who drives the success.
