Flour has quickly become the most popular cafe in The Shire! A unique concept of providing a more visual experience of the workings of a dough room and an A La Carte menu style offering combined with trendy and colourful interiors and a vibrant setting, Flour has raised the benchmark.
Jimmy & Abbey started their cafe journey at Grind Cronulla where they began working out of school. They eventually became business partners in Grind Cronulla for a few years then went their separate ways Jimmy back to Port Hacking High School teaching Drama & Abbey a stint in the Property game.
A great local success story and I am so keen to see what the future holds for Abbey & James! -
Theres no denying that the Sammut Group have one of the best reputations in The Sutherland Shire when it comes to luxury development.

From building bespoke houses in Menai, to now taking on one of Cronullas largest developments and breaking records in the Gold Coast, their journey is nothing short of inspiring. -

Daniel Tonkin is one of the most natural sales and business people I have ever met.

Dannys journey through business is so inspiring and relatable, his passion for people, curiosity and morals are truly inspirational and having him a phone call away has been an absolute godsend.
I highly recommend getting a copy of Dannys book "Sh*t Happens Then Rainbows", easy ready and very engaging! -
