Birds Haven Pet Shop

 

Birds Haven Pet Shop was started in 1986 by Christie and Joan Wentzel.  Wilhelm and Kobus de Jager owned the shop for about 3 years until October 1996 when Fanie and Rachelie Viljoen took over. The couple moved  to the Strand from Pietersburg  where Fanie was the operational manager for Telkom in Limpopo.

In 1996 Birds Haven was only  a small shop of 77 sqm across the road from where it is now.

During October 2001 they moved into one half of the current building and today they occupy the whole 625sqm.

                    

Initially Gerrit van der Bank was the only staff member.  In December 1996 he was joined by Gert de Bruin and  after 24 years they are both still going strong.    Shirley Phillips joined 19 years ago and making up the rest of the team is Terence Arendse (13y), Ashley Lombard (10y)  Whitney Matou (6y) and Anton Albertyn (13y).  Chantel Carelzen has been manager for the past five years – her sunny personality will  definitely brighten up your day!!
