Head Office

James McKerrell, Chief Executive Officer

After qualifying in the accounting field and having run a Fund Raising entity, I became interested in technology and joined CRS as a consultant way back in 1991. I was tasked with starting the CRS Cape Town office, and later moved back to Johannesburg as Ops Director, where I took over the management of the business and until today I play an active role in development of our people, products, new markets and solutions. I am passionate about our products and services, not forgetting our people and customers. I have a wonderful and supportive family and enjoy fly fishing (fishing not catching!) in my spare time.

Dave Philp, Operations Director

I was born in Cape Town, but grew up in the Friendly City (Port Elizabeth), where I matriculated from Grey College. After finishing school, I joined the maritime industry, where my exposure went from a sea-going role, to various administration focused positions, finally ending in a role involving the implementation of a system called CRS... I joined the CRS family in 1999 as the Regional Manager for the Cape and became the Director of Operations in 2003. Over the years I have accumulated a B.Com in Business and Quantitave Management, a Diploma in Datametrics with distinction and completed the Advanced Program in Risk Management through Unisa.I enjoy the outdoors and can often be found cycling, waterskiing and scuba diving in my spare time.

Celeste Oelofse, Administration / Financial Manager

I have had an association with CRS since inception and have thoroughly enjoyed the evolution of CRS over the past 25 years. I have 32 years working experience, a National Diploma in Payroll Management, and proudly hold the position as the leader of the "A - TEAM" - the name our Administration & Financial team carries with honour. I am family focused, love various genre of music, play piano and am an avid reader.

Petro Lottering, Personal Assistant

I was born and raised on a tobacco farm in the former Transvaal, where the big tipper trucks that delivered the coal sparked my passion for 18 wheelers. I served in the South African National Defence Force for 12 years at Military Intelligence on Technological Capabilities. My career at CRS Technologies started 10 years ago at Reception, progressing to Consultant in our Outsourced Payroll Department, to my current role as Personal Assistant both to the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Manager.

Emanuel Mphelo

I am a qualified Bookkeeper to Trial Balance and joined CRS in 2006 after working at FNB as a Call Centre Agent on Temporary Basis. I love working in accounting, as I enjoy interaction with clients and learning new things.

Eva, Office Assistant

I have been with CRS for the last 9 years looking after the internal sustenance needs of the employees and try my best to provide them with a clean environment so as to enhance their working experience. On a more personal note, as a single mother of 3, when I have some free time, I enjoy reading and watching sport such as Rugby and Soccer.
