Post from Vanessa Comley, Organicbox,

\”Massive amounts of gratitude and respect for Wendy Perry and Scott Perry $\"🙏\"$

We’ve been part of their amazingly supportive program for a few years now. Looking back Wendy came into our life when we were in a dark place, hitting rock bottom, not knowing how we were going to save our business. We attended a business support event where Wendy was a speaker and knew immediately that we had to work with her.

Between Wendy and Scott we received masses of support but most of all their constant enthusiastic never ending encouragement, emotional support and actual tangible promotion of us and the business. It’s hard to put into words how much that meant, and still means to us. Having someone actually say they think we are doing great things, and our business has potential was all we needed to push on. That support has never waned.

We both appreciate you so much. Your support is across the board for small businesses in SA. Thank you for an absolutely awesome night at Shapeshifter Brewing Company. It was great to show case our wine and cider, which were a massive hit with lots of fabulous feedback and sales.

A few highlights were chatting with George and Josie, one of the founders of Fasta Pasta. Amazing how much you can learn from a 30 minute chat. Was also fabulous to share our business and story with deputy premier Susan Close who had a genuine interest in what we are doing. Plus catching up with wonderful friends and associates $\"❤️\"$ $\"❤️\"$ $\"❤️\"$ \”
