Why the career change from Qualified Gardener/Groundworker to Plumber?;
From a young age i always aspired to be either a Plumber or Gardener. Well the opportunity for gardening came up first, with a fantastic opportunity to work with a fantastic company called Twin Valley Homes. Whilst there they gave me a whole range or training an qualifications. Unfortunately after numerous years i was made redundant, mainly due to the government cuts to each council when we had a the recession 2009.
After a few years of doing contract work i noticed a pattern in work when it came to gardening, every winter if you couldn't tie down a Gritting Contract you'd often find yourself short of work, which was a struggle that time of year. This was the point when the idea to start Plumbing came up.
I decided to take a risk and a massive step back to pursue a career in Plumbing. So i started a new route in my career and decided to enrolled in college full time, to learn and become a Plumber, and here i am today running a Plumbing business.
