A moving story about a moving brand

ON•TAP Alberton is moving. This is very exciting times, as ON•TAP Alberton is planning to expand their showroom for a greater product display. The new residence will provide this necessary space that ON•TAP needs to expand.

ON•TAP Alberton will be moving from the Rochlin Center to the Alberton Value Center between the 24th and 27th of April 2009. To celebrate, ON•TAP Alberton is having a clearance sale on old stock.

The brand new ON•TAP Alberton will sport the latest Hansgrohe Cosmo E2 range, which is exclusive to all the ON•TAP stores nationwide!

Have love, will pedal

Firstly, we'd like to congratulate Dan Forsyth from ON•TAP Somerset West and Kurt Vermaak from ON•TAP Bellville, on both finishing the grueling Cape Argus 2009. Well done!

Dan Forsyth has since been training to prepare for The ABSA Cape Epic 2009. The Cape Epic is an annual mountain biking event that takes place around the last week of March and the first week of April. This year's eight-day race will start with a prologue, for the riders to compete for a good starting point at the main Cape Epic 2009 race. Dan is currently taking part in this event, that changes it's route every year - so you never know what to expect, except the thrill of pure pedaling adrenaline. The Cape Epic is revered by amateur and professional mountain bike riders alike. Good luck, Dan!

ON•TAP Annual Conference 2009 Overview

ON•TAP Annual Conference 2009

The key players from ON•TAP Plumbing Supplies gathered just about 5 km outside Stellenbosch, to escape the hustle and bustle of their busy schedules and attend The Annual ON•TAP Conference - held at the tranquil Devonvale Golf Estate. This commenced on Friday the 6th of February.

The Conference proved to be an enjoyable success, as motivational speaker, Michael Jackson, started the conference with an inspirational presentation, entitled "The challenge of change."

An Award Ceremony was hosted to acknowledge the hard work of the individuals involved with ON•TAP, so handshakes and smiles were at the order of the day. More on this to follow.

The Conference also provided extramural activities, such as golf, wine tasting and cycling - to keep the hearts and minds refreshed. The ON•TAP Annual Conference was concluded on Sunday the 8th of February.
