Our business is bathrooms and everything that occupies them.

Upon leaving school I undertook a Construction course at Bromley College which taught me skills in the following: Plastering, Bricklaying, Electrics, Carpentry and Plumbing. Plumbing & Heating was of great interest to me and soon after leaving college I managed to secure an apprenticeship with a bathroom company in which I began installing bathrooms. Two years into my apprenticeship I switched employer as I wanted to broaden my horizons to further develop my knowledge in heating and boilers. Upon completion of my apprenticeship in which I gained an NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Plumbing and Heating I joined a temping agency in London to gain more ‘on site’ experience, this included 1st and 2nd fixing, bathrooms, plumbing and heating throughout luxury apartments.

In 2002 I gained employment with a major gas company where I was responsible for running gas on the domestic and commercial front. During my employment I gained qualifications in the following:
CCN1 – Domestic Natural Gas Safety
Met 4 – Diaphragm Meter up to and including U40

After completing my studies at sixth form, I decided to join the Army in the Royal Engineers Regiment. I learnt a lot from this experience – having completed a six month tour of Iraq and visiting many other countries where I worked with and met lots of different people.

Upon leaving the Army as Lance Corporal after 5 years of service; I had gained City & Guilds qualifications in tiling, painting, plastering, dry lining and spray painting. I left in order to pursue a career using the qualifications I had achieved and began a job fitting bathrooms and kitchens. I was able to perfect my skills further as I was using them daily at work.

After being made redundant; I became self-employed for a year, reverting back to my tiling and plastering skills. I then found work with a major gas company and started an apprenticeship based mainly around the installation and repairs of gas meters, pipes and boilers.
