DNA 1st Solution provides contract outworking services and staff to Shieling. Over this period, I have enjoyed a very good relationship with Anita and all her team. She is honest, hardworking, and focused on achieving the best results for her customers and her people. Anita has an excellent reputation and rapport with everyone within the industry. She is committed to helping and inspiring those less fortunate or down on their luck, to achieve better outcomes for themselves. In all of her dealings Anita has always operated with honesty and integrity and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
I am not surprised that Anita's business has a social enterprise component because Anita's servant heart is evident in her actions and her goals for the wider Pacific community. I always leave Anita's company in high spirits, motivated and inspired and am very proud of her accomplishments to date.
Indeed, Anita has a high degree of resilience when it comes to challenges. In addition to her ability to mould a team, she has always exhibited a strong desire to assist young people in achieving and holding positions of employment.
