Bio
Mitchell Watt
A quick learner is what comes to mind when I think about Grant. I had the opportunity to hire Grant for the summer season in a sales role for our Nursery Department. I knew from the initial interview Grant would be a great asset to our team due to his experience and knowledge of plants. On the sales floor, his attention to detail and customer service skills were of major benefit for our business. His ability to problem solve allowed him to flourish and work though everyday tasks and challenges with ease. Grant was always open to new ideas and adaptive to the seasonal nature of the garden centre business. His leadership abilities allowed him to take the lead on daily tasks and sales targets set for the department. As a team member, Grant earns my highest recommendation.

Grant Larizza provides caring, professional, responsible dog walking services. Grant has helped us with our dogs for three years and I cannot imagine managing without him. He is always willing to go beyond just walking and the dogs see him as one of their pack. He is outstanding.
