How it all started

13YEARS OLD

Despite facing difficulties in school due to his ADHD condition, Brendon used his energy and drive to start a successful lawn-mowing business in his neighbourhood with a trailer and bicycle at the age of 13.

While still attending school, he managed to expand his business by hiring two employees to help with lawn maintenance during the week. Brendon's dedication was evident as he sometimes had to take care of gardens alone on Saturdays, helping him develop a strong work ethic and a keen interest in entrepreneurship, he left school at the age of 14.

One of the biggest challenges he faced when starting his business was not having a driver's license because of his age, but he remained undeterred and determined to succeed.

He worked hard, invested in his own equipment, and found innovative solutions to overcome this obstacle, eventually expanding into tree felling services and selling his gardening business.

2010WELL POINTS

In 2010, his father started doing well points, and Brendon gained valuable knowledge and skills working alongside him, which laid the foundation for his future success in the borehole industry.

2016FIRST RIG

As he was working on tree felling and well-points during Cape Town's water restrictions, his father built him his first drill rig in 2016 and Brendon saw an opportunity to grow his business by offering borehole services, recognising the need for water conservation.
