Meet The Bot Shop Team

We love robotics, but robots we are not. The other day, a customer on our WhatsApp channel asked Jan to speak to a human. We did mock Jan a little bit, but it is also concerning that customers do not know who or "what" is on the other side of business communication channels these days.

Here at Bot Shop, you will always speak to a human, and it will be one of the guys or girls below.

Our technical team will show you how. Our sales team will make your buying experience hassle-free. Our fulfilment team will get your order, well packed, to you super-fast. Our procurement team ensures high stock levels and constantly adds new products to our range.

Kin Le Roux
CEO

He spends most of his time steering the company toward our vision of playing a part—big or small—in awesome electronic creations all over the world. He also keeps our company culture of having fun while learning and creating very much alive.

Cindy Le Roux

Content & graphics designer 

An artist at heart, when she’s not designing our videos, packaging, and image content at work, she’s drawing and painting at home. Her creations are world-class and bring smiles to many faces. Her husband is the CEO (a full-time job on its own), and together they faced many struggles in the early days of growing the company. Her role in bringing the company to where it is today cannot be underestimated.

 Jackie Naude
Procurement and fulfillment

Her title of procurement and fulfillment doesn’t begin to cover the impact she has on Bot Shop. She knows the business inside and out and has played a key role in its growth. Starting in fulfillment when our range was just 100 products, she now leads the management and expansion of more than 2,000 products—driving efficiency, improvement, and success every step of the way.

Surita Du Plessis
Team manager

The team of a company is its lifeblood—there is no business without its people. Surita not only takes care of the admin and finances, but she also looks after the team, making sure everyone feels happy and motivated. She even gets involved in content creation, adding her own special touch to what we do.

Jan Venter
Technical 

Jan has spent his entire career in the electronics industry. We wouldn’t be surprised if he was born with a soldering iron in one hand and a multimeter in the other. There are very few areas in this field where he doesn’t have experience. What makes him exceptional is his love of sharing knowledge. Ask him anything about our products and how to use them, and he’ll have you sorted in no time.

Charity Ngwaru
Sales

Charity is the lady you want to speak to when ordering products or services. She loves her customers and makes sure you get everything you need quickly. She is only happy when you are happy, and she pulls out all the stops to make that happen. She knows her products, genuinely cares, and is adventurous. That’s why she can make things happen for you that you might have thought were too much of a long shot.

Carla Botha
Marketing and design

Her creativity knows no bounds. If you’ve seen some of our marketing pictures or kids’ toy manuals, chances are she created them. She is inspiring and makes our products look better, more useful, and easier to understand. She loves creating things that make our products professional—and that put a smile on your face.

Paul is the kind of person who genuinely wants to help you succeed and will do everything he can to make that happen.
