THE HISTORY OF MUD CAKE CONSULTANCY

​Frank first came up with name 27 years ago, but in those days the clients would have laughed at the suggestion of naming an outdoor construction consultancy company 'Mud Cake'.

At one of Frank’s first inspections to review a faulty landscaping project where the project had over $100,000 in rectification costs, understandably his client was quite angry and emotional. After she composed herself, she said: "Well, after that outburst of mine, we need some help. Can you please assist us, and can I offer you a coffee and a slice of MUD CAKE, it has a calming effect?"

So, as they say, the rest is history!
