I have been in the Estate since January 2009. I am married with 2 boys (26 and 23). I am an Oil Industry professional with over 25 vears experience at bp (Oil Company).

I held various Senior Leadership roles at bp Southern Africa and UK across multiple functions in Finance, Strategy, Transformation and Engineering. My final role at bp Southern Africa was CFO. I retired from bp at the end of March 2022.

I enjoy listening to Jazz music (acoustic and classical instruments), tried playing the piano at some stage.

I’m practicing coding (‘my first love‘) which I did for around 8 years prior to joining bp as a Software Research and Development Engineer. I obtained a B.Sc Electronics Engineering from UCT as well as an MBA from the UCT GSB.

Gaye Cawood 

My background was 10 years in advertising and 32 years in property. I’ve lived in and around Fourways Gardens and Dainfern since 1987. I’ve watched the Estates develop into the wonderful places they are today. I’m passionate about property and have gathered extensive knowledge over the years, including building 5 homes for our family over the years. I am very House proud of our Estates and love sharing my knowledge with others. I have had my own business for 20 years servicing these estates and surrounding areas. I have two children in the business with me and hope to have my oldest join soon!

Our family is a team. Our kids grew up riding their bicycles to golf and I love promoting our stunning lifestyle to clients. I hope I can provide some value to Dainfern Ridge residents and help get things done to improve our property values as well as our community social calendar. I look forward to the challenge ahead. It’s all about solutions for me.
