The Paul King Plumbing team is growing. These days we have Paul at the helm, with his tradesman son Alex working in a management position alongside him. Our other senior tradesman is Nick. Alex completed his apprenticeship in early 2015, and Nick in early 2020. We also employ 2 apprentices. Guy has just commenced the 4th and final year of his apprenticeship, having completed all of his trade school over the past 3 years with us. Guy is now attending selected jobs on his own, under the close supervision of our 3 tradesmen. Noah began his apprenticeship with us in Feb 2024. We have employed him on a full-time basis, and he attends TAFE at Tonsley for regular, week-long blocks of trade school, as well as his day to day supervised training on the job.
Recently, our daughter Brodie has joined the pkp team as well, in an office admin position. Brodie will be handling all of the behind the scenes admin, as well as managing the phone system, to relieve some of Paul's phonecall time. Ali is still on the scene as well, helping in the office, running errands, and providing general support to the team as needed.
Together our team has over 60 years plumbing experience, and if you take into account our family history, even longer. Paul's Dad, (Alex Senior) was also a plumber, working on just about every major building project in the Adelaide CBD, including the initial build of the Festival Centre, the Hyatt / Adelaide Railway Station redevelopment, BP House, to name just a few. So Alex Junior is now a 3rd generation plumber. Interestingly, Alex Snr's registration number was a three digit number in or around the mid 300's from memory. Paul's number is 4 digits and Alex's is 6 digits. Many years of growth in the industry through the years.
