What did you do before joining Jim’s Mowing?
Before joining Jim’s I was working as a Security Officer at Olympic Dam.
What frustrated you about your previous employment?
Working at a BHP site is challenging to say the least. While the job and money was very good, the rules and regulations and constant overseeing by BHP Supervisors was over the top.
Why did you end up joining Jim’s over other things you were considering?
We had been considering starting our own gardening business while we were working at Olympic Darn. The company we worked for lost the security contract and therefore, we lost our jobs. Knowing two other Jimbos who were very happy with their businesses, helped us to decide that Jim’s Mowing was the right choice for us. The professionalism of the Jim’s Group very much impressed us. People trust and respect the Jim’s name, and that has helped us to grow our business very quickly.
The help and support has been terrific!
What did you find challenging about being in Jim’s Mowing?
Number one is learning to say no! Getting the balance right between work and play is still eluding me, as I’ve been doing this for over 3 years and still work the majority of weekends, but not all, so I’m getting better at it.
