Garth & Gary conquer Kona

10/16/2013

 
Wright Surveillance directors Garth Wright & Gary Stephenson successfully completed the challenging World Championship Ironman in Kona, Hawaii.

The two have competed in numerous Ironman competitions locally, but it is the first time either have raced overseas. The trip came about after Garth & Gary were awarded entry slots into the prestigious Kona event in recognition of the work they have done with the charity they started, Ironman 4 the Kidz. The charity raises funds for underprivileged children in the Eastern Cape through the Ironman South Africa even hosted in Port Elizabeth. It has raised over R6 million since it's inception in 2005.

The self-funded trip was a dream come true for both. Kona is where the Ironman begun 35 years ago, and is the benchmark for all the Ironman events globally, being renowned as the toughest - thanks to a course that sees competitors run through the lava fields and battle the notorious Kona winds.

Whilst in Hawaii, Garth & Gary met with the Ironman Foundation to discuss a possible synergy between it and the Ironman 4 the Kidz charity. The Ironman Foundation was established in 2003 as a way for Ironman to leave a little piece of legacy behind in communities where the Ironman Events.

Gary completed the race in a time of 13h02, and Garth in 13h39.

Wright Surveillance celebrates staff birthdays

9/10/2012

 
September is a busy month for birthdays at Wright Surveillance & Vikela Security - with 4 staff members celebrating their special days this month. A tea was held at the office to wish everyone Happy Birthday, with lovely eats supplied by Patty McWilliams from PatAsh catering. 

Gavin organised some fine musical performances from the staff - Sipho on the sax, Ryan on the trumpet, Carreen on the tamborine, Allie on something (we'll still trying to work out what!), Gary on the music box and Tania with her electric guitar. Let's just say we're lucky everyone already has a job and won't need to look for careers as musicians!!

Happy birthday to Garth, Carreen, Elaine and Hennie from all at Wright Surveillance and Vikela Security.
