Next Generation

The Plumbers Choice magazine has been around for over 25 years. 192 Editions and still going strong. Over the years, we’ve converted a lot of plumbers to supporting Trade Only. We’ve seen many fathers hand over the tools to their sons, creating another generation of plumbers who want to support the industry that provides for them. 

To start preparing the next generation of Trade Only plumbers we’re going to encourage them all to show their support for Trade Only and the plumbing industry by creating our next cover. So get the pencils out, grab some crayons or Photoshop up a storm and hand the magazine over to your kids to design our next cover.

Line In The Sand

Last year was tough for many plumbers.

New builds down, interest rate rises saw many people put renovations on hold or attempt DIY projects themselves to cut costs. While it may save the homeowner money, it takes away from the plumber’s livelihood and also puts the community at risk.

It’s a new year and time for a fresh start, its time to draw a line in the sand and force a Trade Only industry, an industry where only licensed plumbers can buy plumbing goods. You do the training, you put in the work, and you pay
the overheads, so only you should be able to carry out plumbing work.

Say no to DIY and merchants who support it by selling to the general public. We have been beating the drum for over 20 years now. We have seen other suppliers adopt our policy, but not enough. You the plumber are the only ones who can truly embrace it by only buying from Trade Only merchants. The stick is in your hand, it’s your time to draw the line in the sand!

5 Years Ago….

Five years ago, Plumbers Choice opened its doors in Sydney. It was a huge achievement for us as a humble little Melbourne-based supplier. But more so, our expansion was the sign of an industry adopting the Trade Only mentality.

In the past five years, we have gained a huge amount of support from the New South Wales and Queensland plumbing communities. Our same day delivery for Sydney Metro and a quicker, more convenient service to rural New South Wales and Queensland has seen our Smithfield based warehouse grow by 64% over the past five years.

We would like to thank each and every plumber who has supported our Sydney team and embraced a Trade Only industry. We endeavour to expand our range, innovating an industry and provide a better service to each and every plumber Australia wide. So where next? Your state might soon see a same day delivery service just like Melbourne and Sydney.
