Hi, I’m Gerhard van Zyl, a 37-year-old marketing professional with a deep-rooted passion for motorcycles and adventure. Originally from Johannesburg, I now call Cape Town home, where I channel my energy and expertise into my role as Marketing Manager at West Coast Motorcycle Rentals South Africa PTY (Ltd). Our company specializes in Harley and adventure bike rentals, catering to thrill-seekers and road warriors eager to experience South Africa’s stunning landscapes on two wheels.
With a background as an Operations Manager, I bring a unique blend of operational insight and strategic marketing prowess to the table. This experience has sharpened my skills in problem-solving, adaptability, and cross-functional collaboration, enabling me to craft seamless and compelling customer journeys. My transition into marketing wasn’t just a career move; it was a natural progression fueled by a desire to connect people with unforgettable motorcycle experiences.
When I’m not orchestrating marketing campaigns, you’ll likely find me exploring new routes on my own bike, connecting with fellow riders, and sharing the spirit of adventure that drives us all.
Reason being that I believe our company could add to the travel and tourism industry, creating economical income for our country and provide an experience to all travelers seeking to see our iconic landscapes, beaches and Picturesque mountains and winelands in Cape Town.
