John has been looking after properties in different Dunedin suburbs since 2003. He offers lawn mowing, hedge trimming, tree trimming, pruning, and water blasting services using his mower, line trimmer, chainsaw, water blaster, and hedge trimmer – with a special preference for his ever-reliable Stihl tools.
Before joining Crewcut, he was part of a stock and station agency. He left the firm because he didn’t want to work for a corporate giant. He had friends who worked for Crewcut and there wasn’t as many people at the time so he figured it was the best time to get started with his own lawn and garden business.
“Oh, my looks without a doubt!” John jokingly says when asked about his best skill in the business. He takes it back and switches on his serious side, saying that his efficiency, reliability, and quality workmanship are what makes him stand out as an operator in his area. When asked about the biggest thing he has learned after being with the company for a decade and a half, he says time management and efficiency has gotten him a long way.
When he’s not working, John spends a lot of time engaging in sports like golf and volleyball. He used to play rugby but now that he’s older, all that’s left is his keen interest in the sport. He also used to coach sports teams but he hasn’t been doing it for the last couple of years.
His advice to newcomers? Get into it. There’s only one foot before the other.
