The Finishing Touch is a packing, unpacking and relocation service that assists busy people to move house. With experience in more than 50,000 moves since 1994, they are experts at taking all of the hassles and stresses out of moving house.

One of the unique aspects of The Finishing Touch is that it employs predominantly mature age female staff, it has 250 mature-aged female staff with an average age of 55 years, in 25 locations around Australia and New Zealand. They actively recruit staff in this demographic because of their commitment to the job, a strong work ethic and no nonsense approach to getting a quality job delivered.

Who does The Finishing Touch employ?

The Finishing Touch typically employs middle-aged women looking to re-enter the workforce, with the modern priorities of variety, flexibility and life balance high on their agendas.

These employees are from diverse backgrounds, such as teaching, nursing and administration. Or they have had more high-powered careers in their younger years, but are now looking for a sea change later in life, with a focus on flexibility and freedom. The Finishing Touch also attracts those who have previously worked at home, raising children who are now teenagers or have left home creating a classic ‘empty nest’ syndrome.

The company finds that the benefit of older staff is that they are generally hard working, loyal and committed, and are happy to work flexibly. One week a lady may work one day but in the busy December/January period, she could work up to four or five days per week.

The benefits of working for The Finishing Touch

The Finishing Touch offers its employees a fun, flexible and physical work experience. Staff can manage their work hours, block themselves out for their holidays, hobbies and other commitments such as families. They work in small teams and form strong relationships with their fellow workmates. They get the satisfaction of helping people to organize their lives, taking away the stresses of moving, and at the end of the day can enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.

Audrey Admiraal was one of TFT’s first employees when she joined the company in 1995. She says “working at The Finishing Touch is really rewarding. We provide a great service, so clients are always extremely grateful for the help we provide. One day I might be leading a team of four ladies packing up a mansion in Brighton, and the next helping elderly people ready themselves for moving into a retirement home. The variety is great, as is the lovely friendly ladies I work with.”

The Finishing Touch is also a technologically advanced workplace, and requires its staff to be online as well. All work offers are provided online and staff are able to mark in advance when they want to work, from the comfort of their own homes.

Company founder Susan Williams also ensures The Finishing Touch has a strong commitment to recognizing and rewarding loyal employees. Many staff have been with the company for more than 10 years, and worked in literally thousands of different homes for a wide range of clients and circumstances.
