Christina Gardener, Carpet & Flooring and Curtains & Blinds Business Owner, Christchurch
After years in the corporate world, it took a significant birthday with an ‘0’ in it for Christina to think about what she really wanted to be doing every day. With her interest in interior design and her love of meeting people and hearing their stories, the Harrisons business fitted perfectly.
Christina loves finding solutions for customers that “they may not have thought about”. The key to Christina’s success is being a really good listener. Offering both flooring and window treatments, she loves the moment that it “all comes together” and the customer is happy with the result.
Working alongside her husband in her business is really rewarding for Christina. She likes that they don’t have a defined 9-5 life/work routine “everything fits to make a whole life".
When not working Christina is an avid gardener at home on 20 acres in North Canterbury. She says “it’s a never-ending quest to stay on top of the weeds and to keep the rabbits out of my veggie patch, in particular the strawberries. So far this year its Rabbits 10 vs. Christina 0”
Christina is the perfect example of a strong independent women in the Harrisons family!
