Administration Assistant

About Flexikitch:

Like many start-ups, Flexikitch had humble beginnings with only a handful of employees, our founders developed a concept that combined the distribution, financing, and ongoing service of commercial hospitality equipment, along with support and advice to help each customer thrive and grow.

Within a short time Flexikitch had spread its wings and was recognised as one of Australia fastest-growing businesses by the Australian Financial Review in 2017 and 2018 and named among the 'AFR Fast 100' in 2020*.
