Where good work begins in Pietermaritzburg
Our day starts in Mkondeni and reaches customers across KwaZulu-Natal and further afield, from Durban and Howick to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Gqeberha. We work with home gardeners, landscaping teams and trade buyers who need reliable pruning shears, loppers and hedge tools, plus proper after-sales care when blades need sharpening or handles need attention.
We look for people who understand that small details matter. A clean blade, a firm grip, the right spring and a tool that cuts straight can save time on site and reduce strain for the person using it. If you enjoy practical work and a steady pace, this is the kind of place where your effort is noticed.
Roles we hire for across the business
Our team includes customer-facing, warehouse and service roles, and we often need people who can keep the operation moving from enquiry to dispatch. Depending on the needs of the business, we may hire for sales support, operations, tool care, warehouse handling, customer service and general administration.
- Sales and customer support for trade and retail enquiries
- Tool servicing and maintenance work, including cleaning and fitting parts
- Warehouse receiving, picking, packing and dispatch
- Operations support for stock control and order flow
- Care and inspection work for sharpening, pivots, grips and springs
Some roles need technical skill, while others suit someone who learns quickly and stays organised. We value reliability, good communication and respect for customers, suppliers and colleagues.
What you need to bring to the team
We hire people who can work neatly, follow instructions and handle tools with care. Experience in gardening equipment, hardware, trade counter service or warehouse work is useful, but it is not the only thing we look at. A good attitude and a willingness to learn count for a great deal.
- Clear communication and a practical mindset
- Attention to detail when checking stock or servicing tools
- Ability to work in a team and keep to deadlines
- Comfort with physical work and a busy shop floor or store room
- Interest in South African gardens, from coastal humidity to dry inland conditions
Our customers work in different conditions, so we need staff who understand that a tool used in Durban may need different care to one kept in Pretoria or Cape Town. That kind of local understanding helps us serve people properly.
How we work from Mkondeni to the coast
Being based in Pietermaritzburg means we serve both local customers and larger centres across South Africa, so good coordination matters. Our work includes stock handling, servicing, dispatch and customer follow-up, all tied together by a team that knows how to keep orders moving.
We also understand the realities of load-shedding, transport delays and seasonal demand. During busy periods, especially after rain or before peak gardening seasons, everyone needs to stay focused and helpful. That is why we look for people who can stay calm, keep records straight and help solve problems without fuss.
Training, tool care and steady growth
We do not expect every applicant to know everything from day one. New staff may learn about blade care, spring replacement, pivot adjustment, rust removal and deep cleaning through day-to-day work and direct supervision. The aim is to build confidence and skill over time.
For the right person, there is room to grow into more responsibility in sales, operations or servicing. We value people who take pride in doing things properly and who understand that a sharpened blade or well fitted grip can make a real difference to the person using the tool.
