Hi Im Martin, owner/operator of Vans Slashing, Mowing and Land Clearing.
I pride myself in providing a professional and quality service in the Wide Bay region in the property maintenance and gardening sector.
Early in the 1990s we moved to South Africa, It is in the rural town of Bloemfontein that I finished my schooling and enrolled at the local university, studying agriculture. In 1999 I had the opportunity to travel to Tasmania as an agricultural exchange student and worked on a farm near Deloraine for a few months.
Our work took us from NSW, Victoria to Queensland. Once we crossed the Queensland border, we knew that this is where we would like to live and raise our kids. So, we ended up on a farm in the Arcadia Valley, just north of Injune, Queensland, doing contracting work (a mixture of cattle work, tractor operator, truck driving through to fencing and concreting). Due to the heavy rains that fell over Queensland at the end of 2010, the work was a bit slow, so we used the opportunity to start spreading our wings.
In December 2010 we got caught in Roma, with all the roads flooded and nowhere to go or to stay. So we did the obvious, hit the road. We explored the Queensland coast from Brisbane northwards, going as far as Airlie Beach. At this point we had our minds made up. Bundaberg will be our hometown and Bargara is where id like to live. When we head back to Bargara we arrived pretty much with nothing. Three weeks later I was offered a plant operators position with a local contracting business. At the end of 2012 my dream came true; I was offered the opportunity to buy an existing part time business.
On the 17th of December 2012, Vans Slashing and Mowing was born. To this day I am passionate about what im doing and enjoying the interaction with clients, the satisfaction of a positive feedback. The sort of stuff that makes me gets out of bed every morning.
