Agricultural / Commercial Spraying Business
business

Agricultural / Commercial Spraying Business
Gorse Busters was founded 12 years ago as a ground-based, handgun weed spraying operation, and a crop spraying division was added about 7 years ago.
Gorse Busters have, over the years, established a fantastic name in the lower South Island. This has happened mostly through the quality of work, but also the quantity. The business has always proven capable of the task at hand, and being safe and efficient at work makes them the best in the business.
The business is well set up with good quality plant and equipment including two fully fit-out vehicles required to complete work for clients. The work requires a good level of fitness as the hose may have to be pulled up to 200m from the vehicle to access weeds, and the terrain in East Otago can be rolling to steep in contour.
Gorse Busters provides a great income for working approximately 130 days per year, weather-related. It would be ideal for someone who enjoys time off or has other projects to fill in the days off.
Contact Ricky today for a full information memorandum - 0274 181 889.
