Welcome Dray to the DWR sales team!
DWR Distribution takes pleasure in welcoming Andrea Fowler, better known as Dray, to the sales team in Johannesburg.
For the past nine years, Dray has worked for a company that specialises in signage lighting while her career has seen her operate in business finance, office automation and sales.
Of Scottish descent, Dray’s maiden name is Buchanan. She is a Regional Director for Clan Buchanan Society International, a Highlands Scottish Clan whose origins are said to lie in the 1225 grant of lands on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond to clergyman Sir Absalon of Buchanan by the Earl of Lennox. “The clan keeps me busy with many Highland gatherings, where I exhibit to promote CBSI and where we often have historians at the stand to help people research their family tree globally”. The Highland events celebrate Scottish and Celtic culture and heritage with games, bagpipes, dancing and drumming, so it’s not surprising that Dray plays the drums! When she finally lets her hair down for a breather, it’s in front of a PlayStation.
“I knew about DWR Distribution from my husband Clint who also works in the live events industry, and from our friend Kyle Robson who works at DWR,” said Dray. “It always sounded like a vibey organisation where I’ve heard they work hard, play hard and fight hard. To me it seemed like a company where if I looked after them, they would look after me.”
With her friendly approach, Dray looks forward to assisting clients with internal sales and is being taught the ropes by Marlene Riley who now steps into the role of project manager.
“It’s wonderful to be able to expand the sales team and we are already impressed with Dray’s energy and the way she so easily fits into the team, almost as if she has always been part of it,” said Robert Izzett, Sales Director at DWR. “Welcome to the team Dray and we hope that you will be very happy here.”
