Tribute to Sean Reilly
21 June 1954 – 4 January 2008
Sean established Munitech within the B&A Group
(Pty) Ltd in 1987 and remained MD until his untimely
passing on 4th January 2008.
W
hilst he always attempted to balance his family and business life,
work often took a leading role, a consequence of being in the
engineering and construction industry. It was however, not the hours
he put in that gained the respect of co-workers, Clients and contractors,
but his drive to deliver to meet commitments.
Looking for innovative and practical solutions to Client’s problems,
delivering value and obtaining Client satisfaction, were always uppermost
in Sean’s mind. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious and most
of Munitech project successes could be attributed to this.
Projects not only rely on hard work, but also on relationships and this
was always his key strength. Many Clients commented on the way
Sean had empathy with them and always worked with stakeholders
and not just in the terms of written contracts.
Being a people person, Sean worked equally well with employees and
co-workers and one could always rely on him to smooth the ways in
heated debate, or be sympathetic to an individual’s personal problem.
I believe that a major legacy of Sean’s is the reputation of Munitech,
the many satisfied Clients and the skills and knowledge he passed on
to those he worked with.
Our sympathies go to Sean’s family and extended family. He will be a
hard act to follow.
