Mr Sweep Change of Ownership
Hi neighbours, just to let you know that Mr Sweep is now under new ownership from today (20 January). We would like to thank all our loyal customers from the past 17 years and the great team we have worked with past and present on the Kapiti Coast and Horowhenua. Gemmal will continue his fabulous work with the new owner, Ian. What are we up to? Well, we have decided to follow the advice in the photo. You will now see Roger buzzing around in the Cookie Time van which he is very excited about. He hopefully will get to see some of you when he visits retail stores from Porirua through to Otaki. Bronwyn has been studying for the past two years and has set up a new mind-body education business called Creative4life. You can check out her new course 'Wellness through Creativity" at www.creative4life.co.nz... and follow her on Facebook: www.facebook.com.... Look out for her free 'Worry Less Live More - Setting Your Wellness Compass for 2022' online 5 day challenge starting in February. Thank you so much again, Roger and Bronwyn
