Owner
Lizet van der Walt is originally from Lichtenburg, where she lived for almost 44 years. She began her professional career in the accounting department of a local Ford Motor Company dealership, where she worked for more than 10 years. From there, she continued her journey in administration and accounting at one of the largest panel shops in town. At the beginning of 2023, when Ezelle van der Walt became ill again, Lizet relocated to Pretoria to assist her soon-to-be mother-in-law with the day-to-day operations of Exclusive Car Bows. Following Ezelle’s passing in June 2023, Lizet and her husband, Rian van der Walt, took over the company to continue her legacy. Today, Lizet proudly runs the business side-by-side with Rian, continuing the company’s commitment to quality products, personal service, and meaningful client relationships.
Co-Owner
Rian van der Walt is the eldest son of the late Ezelle van der Walt, founder of Exclusive Car Bows. Back in 2007, when Ezelle started the business to help cover the costs of her cancer treatments, Rian played a major role in helping her build the company from the ground up. He travelled from dealership to dealership across South Africa, marketing the business and helping establish a loyal client base for the, then newly established company. Following Ezelle’s passing in 2023, Rian and his wife, Lizet van der Walt, took over the business and continue to proudly grow the company while serving their loyal customers with the same dedication and personal service the company was built on. When Rian is not working at Exclusive Car Bows, he is better known in the entertainment industry as Ryan Walt, one of the country’s well-known professional pan flute players. ---
