Friendly InFeilding Business 6770032AA Scotts provide an essential service

John and Karen Hutchens bought Scotts Pump & Mower Service 18 months ago because John wasn’t ready to retire, and he still isn’t. They’d spent 10 years travelling and working on ticking things off their bucket list. The thought of retirement didn’t appeal at all. Then opportunity knocked when Karen’s brother, Peter Woodward, asked the question. ‘‘How about taking Scotts off our hands.’’ For John, an accountant, it was like switching codes. ‘‘It was a sharp learning curve. I probably just know enough now to be dangerous’’ he grins. John has relied heavily on his three staff who are all experienced technicians while Karen has taken care of the office and administration. When you’ve got water that needs to be moved from one place to another, it’s Scotts who keep it pumping and who’ll come to the rescue from Whanganui to Norsewood, Levin to Taihape, if it stops. ‘‘We make it happen and keep it going.’’ Scotts run regular maintenance trips, often in remote reaches, but the emergency work takes priority.
