St Raphael’s Catholic School would like to thank JGW for the opportunity to visit and hear about the origins and opportunities that this rural enterprise offer.
Y12 Primary Industries met with the JGW Cowra manager, Simon Whitty. Simon shared with students how the company was started by his brother - Jeremy Whitty through pure hard work and determination. After he left school he started an apprenticeship and became qualified as a mechanic. Choosing to then go out on his own worked long hours from out of his truck, eventually working his way up to having two branches in both Cowra and Wagga.
Simon spoke to us about making a good first impressions and showing a strong work ethic by simply being on time, presenting well staying off your phone. He explained all the work opportunities such as sales, admin, apprenticeships. You could even start with the company while going to school by making sure the machinery was spick and span in the afternoons.
Simon stated his company is keen to guide anyone into a rewarding future in agriculture. At the end of the visit he presented each student with a cap and an invitation to come back and join the JGW Team.
