IMBIZO National Training Product Roadshow Based on the successful launch event held over 3 days on the East Rand of Johannesburg in August, Gabriel Shock Absorbers in association with Textar and Echlin will be embarking on a Free Product Training Road Show that will see the three bands working together to educate the trade on the importance of the Suspension, Brakes and Engine Products. The IMBIZO road show will monthly, be visiting towns around South Africa and allowing delegates to attend the various free training sessions either by RSVP to arrange a “free pick me up and “take me back service”, or by purely a walk in approach. On completion of the training sessions, the leaners will receive take home product literature, certificates and IMBIZO apparel. Gabriel will still continue to offer free training in store (as we have always done) which can be arranged through your brand representative, however should you require more information about IMBIZO or would like to see IMBIZO arrive in your town, please contact us on 011 627 2500.
