Margaret Hirsch surprised a young entrepreneur recently by donating a Whirlpool iXelium 60cm electric oven. Joshua Rushton is a wonderful 18year old who started his Biscotti business with his mother Sharon in their kitchen a month ago and it has taken off. So much so that they needed a new oven. 

Joshua’s parents John and Sharon had to come up with a plan to help their son who has down syndrome to get an income now that his school career is over. So they decided to help Joshua by teaching him how to make Biscotti and “Joshi Biscotti” was born out of the kitchen of the Rushton family home. Joshua has always wanted to be a chef like his brother, but wanted to learn how to bake and now he is the baker in the family. They make the biscotti in the family kitchen till late at night and that is when Sharon decided they needed a new oven for their cottage so that Joshua can keep up with the demand. Sharon decided to contact Margaret Hirsch to find out about getting a new stove. Sharon said “I contacted Margaret Hirsch and explained what we needed and she contacted me to tell me that our new stove will be here shortly. Thank you Margaret for helping a young entrepreneur like Joshua”

John said “Our aim is to not only help Joshua but also give employment to someone else with down syndrome. There isn’t a lot of work for youngsters like Joshua and it has been wonderful how the people have supported us and Joshua” Joshi Biscotti has delicious flavours. Almond; Cherry Almond; Choc Almond; Choc Orange; Black Forest; Lavender Bloom; Cranberry and White Chocolate. Joshua loves dogs and decided he wanted to make some for their 3 Rottweilers as well. So for the fur babies there is Doggi Biscotti. Bacon flavoured and they love it. 

Hirsch’s wished Joshua and his family lots of happy baking with their new stove. Please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you would like to order some Joshi Biscotti.

Hirsch’s Jenny-lee McDonald recently popped into the studio of East Rand Stereo to visit DJ’s Danny Painter and Karen Augusta who present the Morning show on 93.9fm. She brought some Croissant’s and muffins for them to have with their coffee – and wanted to know what kept them going in the morning to give them the energy they needed.

Karen Augusta said “ I have a protein shake at 4am in the morning and only have breakfast after 9am when the show is finished. That will be something healthy like tuna” Danny Painter said “ I have coffee and I always have apples in my bag, which I never eat.”

Danny and Karen present the morning show from 6am to 9am. Karen is a makeup artist by profession and goes to her other job after the show ends and Danny does a lot of voice overs. Visit your nearest Hirsh's store to get your copy of the Hirsch's magazine.

Hirsch’s Carnival hosted their first networking breakfast for 2017 recently, with over 50 business owners from in and around Brakpan attending. 

Chris van Biljon, the CEO of Ekurhuleni Business Initiative and Captains of Industry, was the guest speaker and spoke about why initiatives like the Hirsch’s networking functions are so important for business owners, and how these functions can connect local businesses and help them give their businesses the boost they need. Chis said “It’s wonderful that business people can come together like this and connect with such a variety of businesses in an hour.” Each person was given a chance to promote their company with a half a minute pitch, and afterwards make new connections with some of the other attendees.

Jenny-lee McDonald the Public Relations Officer of Hirsch’s said. “We hold a different networking function every Thursday. We want to help businesses succeed, and this is one of the ways we can help.”

Hirsch’s Carnival and Autodeal JMC recently dropped off a large bundle of bears that were collected for Kids Haven in Benoni, just in time for Christmas! The initiative was backed by East Rand Stereo who urged their listeners to donate a bear and buy a pin - with great success.   “Kids haven have 94 children staying with them. These children come from the streets and Kids Haven in Benoni is their only lifeline.

Each of the bears had a pin on it from Lifeline that the public donated. We would like to thank the staff at Kids Haven for all the wonderful work they do and for all the fantastic people who donated bears and bought a pin to support Lifeline as well.”  Jenny Lee McDonald commented.    

VusI Ndlovu from Kids Haven expressed his appreciation on behalf of the Haven “Thank you so much everyone! We don’t have the opportunity to go on leave and if we can give something to the children for Christmas to make it better for them, that’s what makes us happy!!”      

Hirsch’s Carnival and Autodeal JMC will still be collecting bears and selling Lifeline pins for the various children’s home on East Rand. Your support is needed, not only during Christmas, but during the year as well.  Contact Jenny-lee on 010 822 2050.
