Originally from New Zealand I moved to Australia to start a new life. Since being here I have been in the building industry for many years.Unfortunately after having an accident I was unable to work. After my recovery it was hard to get back into the building industry due to cutbacks so I had to find other work. I have been a courier and did asphalting as well. However I realized I wasn't getting anywhere and I needed a change so after my partner Barbs son told me about a franchise he was starting I decided to take a look at what was on offer. I decided on Jims skip bins because I like the outdoors and interacting with people. My partner Barb would say I like nothing better than collecting anything and everything. The motto what's someones rubbish is someone elses treasure comes to mind. I also like the idea of a challenge and of having a better lifestyle.
