  This is a good company to work for. It’s a locally owned plumbing business, they’re small in stature and big in expertise, with around 20 staff. Known for providing quality workmanship across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato regions their business is currently 75% commercial and 25% residential – with potential for growth in both these markets. The Owner and team are great, their systems are organized, they’ve got excellent expertise in many of the team – and it’s a good place to work, everyone enjoys the banter. I work closely with the Owner – who is thinking about his exit strategy – to continually drive this business forward.
