Sisters start business building what others despise: flat-packs
Good morning neighbours,
Two local sisters are saving one marriage at a time with their business venture of constructing flat-pack furniture.
Jala Hooker, 9, and 8-year-old Aalia Hooker started Flatpack Girls about two months ago, following a homework task that involved coming up with a business idea.
Both Jala and Aalia said they find building flat-packs enjoyable. While they do get a little help from their dad who checks the instructions and puts weight on the power drill, they do most of the work themselves.
