John Thompson

JOHN Thompson found the inspiration to start his new business while visiting his father’s grave.“I’d been sitting there talking to dad and I’d just cleaned his plaque when a man from interstate came up to me and asked if he could pay him to clean his relative’s head stone,” Mr Thompson, 40, recalls.The former cleaner saw it as a great opportunity to get out of an unemployment rut in which he’d been stuck for more than three years.“When you’re unemployed, you’re right down there,” he says, pointing to the floor.“You feel like a second-class citizen.”He started a small business course through Knowledge Plus in January.2009, Mr Thompson officially opened his grave site maintenance business, Forever In Rest, When you look at grave sites, there are a lot of people who don’t have time to keep them clean and tidy, and I hope that’s where we can step in starting the business had given his life direction and encouraged others without work to look into small business.
