He has won a number of awards, including a SANEA Award in 2010. Enquiries: Email LloydP@cput.ac.za

Glyn Craig spent his formative years in a small town in the KZN midlands. The town had its own power station where his father was the engineer in charge. The station was basically wood-fired, with timber grown sustainably on extensive municipal estates. This resulted in Glyn’s early decision to pursue a career in engineering. After completing his schooling, he joined the South African

Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) as a trainee and was later awarded a bursary to study at the newly established Wits Technikon. The course was RF oriented but broadly based with courses in applied mechanics, physics and heavy current electricity. Apart from imparting theoretical concepts, the course stressed prac- tical knowledge including mechanical work. After completing the course, Glyn was posted to the SABC’s Bloemendal transmitting station near Henly-on-Klip where he worked on high power (250 kW) shortwave transmitters. While run- ning an electronics and mechanical department in a mining research laboratory, Glyn studied and completed the Government Certificate of Competency (GCC) by correspondence. The mechanical subjects were to prove valuable when he founded Techlyn in 1985. Enquiries: Email glyn@techlyn.co.za
