From Monday 25th March 2019, XScape will be closing down. We would like to give a huge thank you to the people who work with us on a daily basis, to make XScape what it is - Kerri Mewett for her fantastic landscape designs, and days spent with us planting. Ryan Brown for the hard work he's done with us over the last few years; a more loyal bloke you will not find. Patrick O'Connell for the hard work he's put since teaming up with his Dad; I've not seen a guy who has learnt as fast and taken on responsibilities as quickly as Patch has over he last 18 months. Josh Taylor, who came to us a green, wet-behind-the-ears kid and left 9 years later a confident, truck-rolling man. And Keegan Thompson, the quiet achiever; I don't think I've ever seen one bloke who remained so calm the whole time he worked for us. It would be remiss of me not to give a big thank you to our wives for the support and guidance they have given us over the years, so thank you Annemarie and Rosie; We truly appreciate it.
Finally, I personally want to thank my business partner and good mate, Chris O'Connell. When we started XScape 12 years ago, neither of us dreamed we would go this far or achieve so much. I have learnt a lot from Chris and had tonnes of laughs along the way, and more than a few beers! This business partnership was really more like a marriage; At times we wanted to throttle each other, and had some mighty disagreements, but we always walked away mates and could always have a laugh about it later. We've been hanging it on each other since we were 12 years old, and to this day, nothing has changed.
As I move on to a new chapter in my life, I am filled with mixed emotions - Happiness and excitement for what lies ahead, tinged with a little sadness, as an era has come to an end.
Finally, to all our clients over the last 12 years - some were small jobs, some large, and some people we did multiple work for. One thing above all else is, we pride ourselves of the fact that on every job that XScape did, we succeeded in not only meeting our client's expectations, but exceeding them. Thank you for trusting us to make your landscape dream into a reality.
Kind Regards and good luck for the future.
Jack & Chris
