Mike Downey wasn’t too sure just what to expect when he first tendered his resignation.

Moments later, the former Finance Manager and now Gutter-Vac Franchise Owner in Central and South Adelaide had his first customer.

‘My boss was quite good about it and he sent a really nice email across the whole group advising our 100 odd staff exactly what I was doing. He even included the Gutter Vac website address!’

‘Mind you’ Mike adds, ‘he is probably thinking he will get his gutters cleaned for free. I might give him a bit of a discount but I won’t be giving the shop away.’
