Eric Abrahamson started his career with Pilot Radio SA while at the same time studying for a B Comm. He then transferred to work for the company in London for three years and attended the London School of Economics as a part time student. He returned to Pilot SA as their commercial director. In 1966 he started a new business in the name of United Radio and Television which was sold to his partner in 1971.  Eric then joined KIC appliances which eventually became wholly owned by Whirlpool USA where he was continually employed for the next 30 years.  Eric has a broad understanding of the radio, TV, furniture and appliance industry in the manufacture, distribution and marketing of these durable consumer products. His passion during all those years in business was to achieve the best results by making sure that the people he dealt with were happy and comfortable in their dealings with him. Eric's enthusiasm sometimes results in him being inclined to be a little pedantic in his search to conclude a deal with a win-win resolution for all parties.
