About Us
We’re passionate about making a difference and having a go
From the very beginning of the company, Sally and David have desired to make a difference through supporting causes that they are passionate about. These causes include support for young people (either through casual employment opportunities and scholarships) and support for community groups that desire to make a difference. Read the stories of some of our past young employees, and where they are now, and testimonials from some who we have supported.
Training & Education
Growth in the horticulture sector will not be constrained by capital investment, or by available land; it will be constrained by lack of knowledgeable and job-ready human capability.
Start Afresh offers applied education and training opportunities either in partnership with training institutions, or privately on a fee-payable basis.
