Meet The Bot Shop Team
We love robotics, but robots we are not. The other day, a customer on our WhatsApp channel asked Jan to speak to a human. We did mock Jan a little bit, but it is also concerning that customers do not know who or "what" is on the other side of business communication channels these days.
Here at Bot Shop, you will always speak to a human, and it will be one of the guys or girls below.
Our technical team will show you how. Our sales team will make your buying experience hassle-free. Our fulfilment team will get your order, well packed, to you super-fast. Our procurement team ensures high stock levels and constantly adds new products to our range.

Cindy Le Roux
Content & graphics designer
Artist at heart, When she is not designing our videos, packaging and image content at work she is drawing and painting at home. Her creations are world class and put smiles on many faces. Her hubby is the CEO (a job all by itself) and they both struggled in the beginning to grow the company. Her part in having this company where it is now cannot be underestimated by a long shot.

Jan has been in the electronics industry his whole career. We wouldn't be surprised if he was born with soldering iron in one hand and a multimeter in the other.
