Pimlico Plumbers, London's largest independent plumbing company, is expanding its workforce by 25 percent as it continues to meet the growing demand for its range of property services.
During the next 12 months, the company will add skilled tradespeople to its 165-strong workforce to meet demand, but also expand its presence across the Capital.
Pimlico Plumbers is currently handling between 1,800 and 2,000 jobs a week and is receiving many more enquiries from new customers in the Greater London area.
A larger workforce will also increase productivity as the company manages a shift in the size of jobs it is servicing. During the recession the number of major bathroom installation and building projects has been surpassed by a considerable rise in smaller repair jobs.
In addition to recruiting heating engineers and plumbers, Pimlico is aiming to employ more roofers, electricians, joiners and multi-skilled engineers to its workforce as an increasing number of customers are requiring a range of property services from one preferred supplier.
Charlie Mullins, Managing Director of Pimlico Plumbers, said: "We are regularly swamped with unsolicited job applications and we are now in a position to turn enquiries into employment.
"We are already servicing thousands of plumbing, heating and home maintenance jobs every week and we can undoubtedly grow that number, especially outside Central London. Whether it's our reputation or the tough economy that is affecting other plumbing firms, we are definitely more in demand.
"Customers are also looking for a company that can provide a range of home services as they manage tighter household budgets, which is why we are expanding our workforce across a range of trades."
Charlie has also been spurred to grow his workforce based on the confidence he believes will be generated after the upcoming general election.
He said: "I seriously believe that there will be change of government at the election, which will bring a new air of confidence to the country. It will be a government that will want to work with business and make changes that will benefit firms."
