Heilet started her career as Marketing and Sales Director of CPD Print 33 years ago in Pretoria. Being one of 3 directors she was one of the first women who stepped into a very male dominated industry. She won several Sappi Printer of the year awards and Heilet often stood women alone amongst men claiming their awards. In 2007 Heilet deemed it necessary to transform and started UVO Communication and Print a black-owned company led by herself and David Skosana. She was also one of the first women to be elected to serve as Regional Executive Committee member for the Printing SA Northern Chamber and is currently serving as the Northern Chamber Chairperson, Non-Executive Director at Printing SA and Vice Chair of the Packaging Federation of SA.
