PRYME PEOPLE
Tell us a bit about yourself. What is your name and position at Pryme?
My name is Martin Koen, I am an Account Manager at Pryme. I have worked in sales for about 10 years. Pryme’s extensive list of products is the most interesting and innovative that I have had the opportunity to work with.
What do you like about working at Pryme?
We are an agile company, always working to improve workflows and efficiencies. All of our products are very high quality, and we stand by all of our products with passion. We are always on the lookout for exciting innovative products that can improve people’s lives.
Favourite part of the job?
My favourite part of the job is product training and toolbox talks. It’s exciting to be able to convey important information to large groups of people. I get to meet many interesting people and hear their insights into how our products can improve their lives.
What is some wisdom that you live by?
Think and then act. Consider the outcomes before jumping to a decision.
What is the one thing that sites need to adopt to make sure that their workers are safe?
A proper hydration plan! Supplying water is not enough. Workers need a proven, balanced formulation of electrolytes to help them work to the best of their ability throughout the day.

What is your favourite Ergodyne product and why?
The Chill-Its 6685 Dry Evaporative Cooling Vest. It provides cooling all day when working in a hot environment. Not many people understand the concept of evaporative cooling. Watching people’s eyes light up once they try it on for themselves, it’s an amazing piece of kit.
There are multiple ways to drink Sqwincher, what is your favourite?
Frequently! When working out in the hot sun, nothing better than some Wild Berry Concentrate in a glass of cold soda water. On a hot day, I will drink Sqwincher every few hours. It gives me the ability to work harder and longer in the heat of the day.
What is the one product that you use the most to stay safe?
I use the Proflex 100 Back Support the most. It protects my lower back when lifting heavy stuff, riding a mower or operating machinery. It’s awesome because I can tighten it up to lift, then loosen it off when I take a break for a Sqwincher.
What message do you have for people working on a site that they NEED to hear?
Drink more water! Your body is mostly water. Your brain and muscles need water and electrolytes to function properly. Drink water with electrolytes. Not sugar, not caffeine, not ‘energy’ garbage, just water with electrolytes. It makes a massive difference to your health and well-being.
