In this season 15 update, founder John Minchin, who had taken a deal with Manjit Minhas the previous season, described adapting his line-painting equipment to perform large-scale disinfection services when line-painting was deemed non-essential during COVID-19. The pivot allowed the company to keep its roughly 120-person team employed and expand to 74 machines applying disinfectant across the country, while also hiring 20% more staff, with Manjit Minhas continuing to provide mentorship.
