Welcome back to the Crushing It In Construction Podcast.
It's a great pleasure to welcome Jarrad Tait onto the show this week from Adelaide Hills Lawns & Gardens.
Jarrad developed an early passion for the outdoors, and in the midst of enjoying stints as a cricketer in the UK he settled into seasonal landscaping work back in Australia.
One thing led to another, and soon he had the tools, the Facebook page, and a black trailer with the logo. As he says - "all the gear but no idea..."
Fast-forward: he's now got a business partner in ex-employee Luke Timmins, a landscaping yard, and AHLG now have a team of over 75 people and counting.
Today's episode is all about expansion - with Jarrad sharing how a crucial mentor transformed their business ambition, why it's not just about building culture it's about creating a sense of belonging, and why the smartest thing you can do is to hire for values.
Let's get started.
