Gutter-Vac : How Gutter-Vac Shepparton Helped Brocq Out-Earn His Trade

Brocq came to Gutter-Vac as a qualified boilermaker, working in a trade where, in his own words, he felt like he was making someone else rich. The Gutter-Vac model offered something different: real flexibility to earn well, with the upside flowing to him rather than to an employer. The Shepparton territory turned out to be the right opportunity at the right time. The lifestyle change has been concrete. Brocq and his partner have bought 10 acres on the outskirts of Shepparton — big shed, beautiful house — a property he says he could not have afforded on a trade wage. The financial difference between working hard for someone else and working hard for himself in a Gutter-Vac territory is the practical headline. What Brocq emphasises beyond the income is community presence. Where his old job had him seeing the same people every day, the Gutter-Vac route work puts him out across the region. His own helper notes how many people Brocq waves to on a typical day. He runs into customers at the supermarket, the pub, at his sponsored junior cricket club. That kind of local visibility translates directly into referral flow and brand reputation. On training and support: Gutter-Vac runs a full seven-day onboarding course covering working at heights through to accounting packages, designed so franchisees can launch ready to work from day one. The peer culture is non-competitive — operators across Australia are happy to answer questions and back each other up. Brocq's recommendation is direct: if you put the hours in, the money you can earn is astronomical. Watch his full story video to hear it from him.
