An electrician by trade, Jurgen Martz has spent the past ten years working with a local engineering firm in Geelong, involved in the electrical design of heavy industrial equipment for the Middle East.

‘I have been looking for the right business opportunity for fifteen years’ Jurgen says. ‘Seriously in the past six months’ he adds, ‘when the design work started to dry up.’

After investigating any number of businesses and several franchises, Jurgen found the Gutter-Vac opportunity listed on the internet.

‘I can get back outside and be hands on again’ he thought. ‘To say nothing of the fact the work itself is something I can do, while making a real difference.’
