Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Complete control over your information
Emergency Cards are perfect for your wallet, purse or cellphone case.
You have complete control over what information you want to have included on the card and once your order is received and you're happy with it, we delete your information, so nothing is kept on file.
Not intended for full medical history, only include life-threatening conditions or information that is important for first responders to know about immediately.
No known medical conditions?
No worries! Simply use as an emergency contact card.
You never know when the unexpected may happen.
Emergency Cards communicate important medical and contact information when you can't, ensuring you get the right treatment, and are reunited with loved ones sooner.
For peace of mind and greater independence.
