Launching their business with $20,000 in personal savings, Sydney brothers David and Jonathan Green have deployed hustle, YouTube and a relentless focus on people to turn their green energy company Green.com.au into one of the nation’s fastest-growing in just four years – on track to turn over $40 million this financial year.
Pre-COVID-19 the Green brothers were working in sales and managerial roles in the energy and finance industries.
Jonathan, now 27, worked in sales roles for Mojo Power and Natural Solar, as well as the national sales manager for renewable energy finance at RateSetter (now Plenti).
David, now 35, worked as a manager at Carloans.com.au
