‘I’ve been in the synthetic grass industry for nearly ten years, so I’m going to set up another business for… not the installation side of the business, but for the distribution.
‘I’ve got a few synthetic grass products that I want to distribute around Australia, so we’re going to use that money to bring it in from Europe and see how we go.’
Luke added of their second-place finish: ‘We were blown away. You never know what’s going to happen on auction day. You only can do your best and sit there and hope, so that’s what we did.
‘We had a target of $100,000 to help us move forward, so to come out with over $500,000 just blew us away.’
