    i was a longhole driller. unfortunately i no longer work for gbf but will always hold gbf in the highest regard.
    Sep 2015
    i loved working for gbf. finally felt like i was at home and that my experience was appreciated. did not want to work for any other company.
    The good thingsthe professionalism of gbf staff that is apparant at all gbf sites. friendliness and good atmoshere among gbf employees. the ability to stay with the same company for a long time.
    The challengesthe challenge was always to have the ability to overcome problems by being actively involved in the processes to reach a safe outcome, safely and to still operate productively to make targets.
