TED FOUNTAIN - MANAGING DIRECTOR

Born on the 6th June 1956 and schooled in the old Transvaal, Ted was drafted into the SA Engineering Corps in 1974 after a short period at Murray and Roberts Roads and Earthworks.

After a successful 2 year period and being commissioned as an officer, Ted joined Grinaker Construction Natal where he enjoyed 11 years of construction training, finally leaving in 1987 as a contracts manager.

It was at this time that Ted decided to test his entrepreneurial flair and ventured into other avenues of construction. During this period he spent short stays at S M Goldstein, Octacon Construction, T S F Projects and later managed Dipac Natal.

With just over 20years of construction related experience in bridges, concrete construction, earthworks and roads, pipelaying and housing and an opportunity that could not be missed, Ted opened the doors of Fountain Civil Engineering (Pty) Ltd. on the 26th October 1994.

Ted is married with 2 (3) children, lives in Hillcrest and enjoys his family and mountain biking.
