Raymond Trollip started selling parts out of a bakkie, and soon we had enough cash flow to rent premises in Jet Park, Boksburg. The company began with limited resources, very little stock, and a small staff. Eight years later, we have built a solid reputation with our loyal Customers and Suppliers. We have grown and have a staff complement of 12 full-time employees.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 30px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_mobile clr\" style=\"height: 0px\"><\/div><ul id=\"cz_95757\" class=\"cz_95757 cz_stylish_list clr cz_sl_icon_hover_zoom_in\"><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fa czico-074-tick-inside-circle mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Quality<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fa czico-074-tick-inside-circle mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Affordable<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fa czico-074-tick-inside-circle mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Reliable<\/span><\/div><\/li><li class=\"clr\"><div class=\"cz_sl_icon\"><i class=\"fa czico-074-tick-inside-circle mr10\" ><\/i><\/div><div><span>Experience<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 10px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_mobile clr\" style=\"height: 50px\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-md-6&#8243;]<div id=\"cz_41907\" class=\"cz_grid_p cz_41907\"><div class=\"cz_grid cz_grid_1 clr cz_hr_grid cz_grid_c2 cz_grid_1_no_hover cz_grid_1_mid tac cz_grid_disable_links\"><div class=\"cz_grid_item cz_grid_first\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_grid_item \"><div data-title=\"2149194773\"><a class=\"cz_grid_link \" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.allthingsdigital.co.za\/getspares\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2149194773.jpg\" data-xtra-lightbox><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/dev2.allthingsdigital.co.za\/getspares\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2149194773-600x1000.jpg\" class=\"attachment-codevz_600_1000\" alt=\"\" title=\"2149194773\" \/><div class=\"cz_grid_details\"><i class=\"fa fa-search cz_grid_icon\"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cz_grid_item \"><div data-title=\"2149194774\"><a class=\"cz_grid_link \" href=\"https:\/\/dev2.allthingsdigital.co.za\/getspares\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2149194774.jpg\" data-xtra-lightbox><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/dev2.allthingsdigital.co.za\/getspares\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2149194774-600x1000.jpg\" class=\"attachment-codevz_600_1000\" alt=\"\" title=\"2149194774\" \/><div class=\"cz_grid_details\"><i class=\"fa fa-search cz_grid_icon\"><\/i><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"cz_gap clr  hide_on_mobile\" style=\"height: 90px\"><\/div><div class=\"cz_gap show_on_mobile clr\" style=\"height: 60px\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
