Life partners Diane Hay and Ian Loveridge are now business partners of a new Whanganui mowing and property maintenance company, Mow-It Ltd.

Mr Loveridge worked at Bunnings city store for nine years before starting up Mow-It in May last year. He always had an interest in small machinery and working outside so the business was the ideal fit.

But as the business has grown, so too has the need to have a helping hand. Ian has now been joined by his partner, Ms Hay.

"I've just left my office job at Guthries Auto Care, after 19 years there, to join Ian.

'I've always had an interest and passion for small business accounting. I was responsible for debtors, creditors, wages, cashbook and IRD returns, and this gave me the insight to run our own business," she said.

"I'm looking forward to doing something for myself, and I've always had an interest in gardening so can't wait to spend more time outside working."
Mow-It Ltd covers lawn mowing, property maintenance and other odd jobs.

"With Diane joining me, we can cover more jobs," Mr Loveridge said.
Mow-It can be contacted at 344 7882, 027 676 4471, 027 478 5938 or by emailing: mowitltd@gmail.com.
