YOU CAN'T BE A MASTER OF A JOB YOU DIDN'TSERVE ITS APPRENTICESHIP

YOU CAN'T BE A MASTER OF A JOB YOU DIDN'TSERVE ITS APPRENTICESHIP

Salih Yeniçeri, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bera Tel Metal Trade and Industry Limited Company, who started his working life as a child, said in an interview with EKOFULL magazine that you cannot be a master of a job that you have not apprenticed to. Yeniçeri, who attributes the secret of success to hard work by doing what he loves, stated that their goal is to establish a factory with the capacity to serve Türkiye and even abroad.

I Became a Foreman at the Age of 16

I started this sector in 1998 as an apprentice with a lathe. Since lathe works were not very common at that time, the workplace where I worked was also doing wire mesh work. During my apprenticeship that lasted for 1 year, I learned a lot in this sector and now I could use the machines. While a master knitted 10 balls of wire in one day, I struggled to weave 20 balls of wire. I had become a master in the workplace where I worked for about 5 years. When I was 16 years old, I started working as a foreman in another business. In those years, I was mastering people who were bigger than me. This was an important responsibility for me, so I tried to do justice to this responsibility. This allowed me to learn and do my job better.

I had a hard time, but I didn't give up

Every person necessarily goes through difficult times in his life. We also had difficult days. After I left my last workplace, I started to work in four or five sectors, but I failed. I constantly searched and researched the reason for my failure. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that the job I would be successful in would be the one I loved and apprenticed. For this reason, I understood once again that you cannot be a master of a job that you have not apprenticed to. I went abroad for the first time in my life. For about 6 years, I worked as a worker in wire fence works until 06.00 in the morning and 24.00 in the morning. But I couldn't fit in my shell anymore. I wanted to achieve both my material and spiritual goals by establishing my own business. Because it was almost impossible to achieve your individual goals by working alongside someone else. On the other hand, I needed to spend more time with my family. Even though I knew there were some risks, I thought that if I grow up, I will grow in my own business, and if I sink, I will sink in my own workplace. Withthe encouragement of my friends and family, I decided to start my own business. I chose to regret my dreams instead of regretting them without realizing them and I founded Bera Tel Metal.

At first, I didn't even have the money in my pocket to buy wires. I worked as a welder before I could buy wire. If I bought wire, I didn't have the machine to knit it. I made myself a wire knitting machine with what I learned when I was a turner. Of course, while doing all this, I also had to provide for my home. So I worked elsewhere during the day and took care of my own business in the evening.

You will work, you will work, you will work...

As the lamented Sakıp Sabancı said; "You will work, you will work, you will work, you will work without giving up your dreams." We also worked, we made machines, but we have no wire to knit, no money to buy wire. I bought a ring for my wife, the last time I sold it, we had nothing else. With the money I bought from the piece wires. In fact, I know all the factories that produce wire. Whichever one I go to, give me 5 tons, 10 tons of wire, I will sell it and give it to you, but I prefer to move forward slowly and firmly. I worked hard, and the price was very heavy for me. I spent many nights without sleep, working.

Today we are the supplier to 100 companies

Since the first day, until now. WalkSalih, let's eat the bread of the machine you made yourself. Let's start professionalizing. I continued to share from social media. I took the wire, brought it, slept in front of the machine for 3 days, did not go home, knitted wire. I knitted that wire, sold it, sent the money, and immediately made capital again. This began to recur. I was more confident now. Then I came to KOSGEB-Small and Medium Enterprises Development Organization of Türkiye and said I need a machine. I prepared a project with the guidance of KOSGEB-Small and Medium Enterprises Development Organization of Türkiye experts and KOSGEB-Small and Medium Enterprises Development Organization of Türkiye approved our project. I paid the rent of the shop by finding a debt fee. Never forget that Allah always has a door to open to you. Just when I said it was over, we re-created capital with the wire that someone I did not know came and paid in advance and took from us. We started again. Not everything can be described here, but I want you to know this;  we loved our job and worked hard. Today, we are the supplier of 100 companies. It was not easy to achieve this, but if you say tel, you will surely hear our name.

We aim to establish a factory large enough to serve Türkiye and even abroad

Our next goal is to establish a factory with the capacity to serve throughout Türkiye. Concrete poles are being built, we must do the best, we must make the best of the wire, we must produce the best quality and the cheapest. Look. We're working hard to get these things right. You know what? I found out a month later that my child called him a father.  If we are going to leave all this to  our children, in order to leave a clean, honest, honest company. After you work to grow, the sustenance is from God.

Our vision is to be the first and only preferred address of the sector as the address of quality and reasonable price, provided that customer satisfaction is prioritized in wire fence production.

I care about government incentives and supports. In order to realize our vision, we will of course need government support and incentives in addition to our own capital. In this regard, we will strive in line with our goals as much as we can.
