Get the Bug general manager Luther<br />
Salanoa says being part of the Get<br />
The Bug team will hopefully give him<br />
the skills to launch his own business<br />
career.<br />
“It's helped me do networking and get<br />
a taste for the real world and building<br />
skills for business.”<br />
He’s also developing his green thumb.<br />
"I have definitely taken more interest<br />
in gardening as the Bug Hub increases<br />
your garden's flowers and fruit."<br />
Luther says their growing business<br />
success could not have been possible<br />
without their mentor Peter Sykes.<br />
“Peter has given us the best support<br />
we could have asked for. He’s<br />
connected us to people who can help<br />
and gave us the bug for living more<br />
sustainably. If it wasn’t for him we<br />
wouldn’t be here.”<br />
