THE NATION'S TRUSTED PLUMBERS! The shortage of plumbers has been well documented. Indeed, the Institute of Plumbing is predicting a shortfall of 29,000 plumbers in the UK by 2008. But where do you find a reliable local plumber when you need one? Chances are he's not even in the directory, as most good plumbers work by word of mouth.
PlumbLocal is looking for practical self-motivated entrepreneurs to retrain and join our national network of reliable local plumbers. Our intensive 12-week City & Guilds training programme will equip you with all the correct plumbing qualifications and business skills you will need to offer your customers a full plumbing service.
Once you have gained experience we will help you grow your business into a successful multi-van operation. Full ongoing business advice and dedicated 24/7 on-site technical support and back up are constantly provided.
