Shrub identification please.

Hello,
I managed to rescue several shrubs from a skip, I know what a few are but I'm struggling with these three. I'm getting conflicting id's from google/internet, can anybody help please.

1. Hebe sp.
2. Choisya ternata...maybe Sundance
3. Aucuba japonica maybe Rozannie

The second is Choisya ternata.

The third picture looks like Prunus Laurocerasus.

Nothing further to add about the IDs, sorry, but who would throw such decent sized, healthy looking plants like that into a skip?? Especially that hebe! Well saved!

Thanks for the replies.
Anna33, there was half a dozen, plus a few that I couldn't save.

But what are those red "chillies" in the middle of the plant..?

They are the berries of the Aucuba.

They are indeed the berries from the Acuba shrub. Silver surfer is correct on the ID...I did not pay attention to the berries in the photo!

Shrub identification please.
