Stock Tents – Gareth John Stock
Gareth John Stock From Stock Tents
Most of you will know Gareth from his business that he runs in town, Stock Tents. A fun loving, young, local dedicated to working hard and reaching new heights in his business are qualities that most fellow youngsters could look at and think: “Wow, now that’s someone I’d like to be!”
Gareth works hard, he is never sitting still for long and you will notice that whenever you see him he is either erecting tents or driving to the next location.
See what this local lad had to say to us…
Where were you born?
Cape Town
What made you decide to settle upon Hermanus?
My parents moved here when I was 7. My dad resigned from the air force and got a job working for SAA and Thunder City in Cape Town. They thought Hermanus would be a good place to raise their kids.
Describe yourself in 3 words…
Very VERY Fortunate
My 3 favorite things in the world are…
Cars, business and my mom.
What makes Stock Tents unique …
I think the fact that we can create a venue out of almost any location can be pretty spectacular at times.
I love being a part of Stock Tents because…
I like business in general. I like people (not all people). I enjoy providing a client with good service. Hearing them say that my service was spot on, thanks for the honesty, your tents are amazing, our wedding was so great because of you. Are all pretty rewarding for me to hear. That’s why I love being a part of Stock Tents.
If you aren’t on site/location what are you doing?
I’m in the process of starting my own construction company, Stock Construction, still in its early stages. Otherwise on Sunday I went for my first modelling portfolio shoot. I do not know how that’s going to turn out, but we’ll see. Otherwise, I love being with my friends, at the beach, at the gym, playing cricket or visiting my brother in Rondebosch, or cousins in Durbanville.
Any event advice?
Don’t over think the occasion, enjoy the occasion.
If I threw a party my 3 top things to bring would be?
Crisps, twister and coke zero came to mind first. I’m diabetic so I don’t drink.
“If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. You only fail when you stop trying.” – Gareth
Hermanus is…
The best place in the world.
My favorite place in Hermanus is…
Home, or wherever my friends are.
I wish I knew then what I do now about…
Business, I could be far further ahead with my plans for life if I knew then what I know now.
My best memories are…
Probably summers with my brother. Making home movies with him and playing marco polo in the pool in the summer time.
