Cecil Nurse A division of Bidvest Office (Pty) Ltd | 23 Riverhorse Rd, River Horse Valley, Durban, 4017

Instead, to augment the income of the furniture business, Cecil constructed a series of hothouses in the backyard of his home and began growing a variety of indoor plants, with a view to selling them from door to door to businesses in central Johannesburg. He employed two assistants with specially modified platform bicycles to sell the home-grown plants, little realising that his was the very first indoor office plant business in South Africa. While establishing his furniture business this little venture was often responsible for keeping the wolves from the door.With his wife, his eldest son and one salesman the business grew and a client base was established among the wives of prominent businessmen in the financial heart of Johannesburg.
