This inspirational campaign spotlights seasoned installers who began their journey as apprentices and have since forged successful careers in the plumbing sector. The video series serves as a platform for these experienced plumbers to share their personal stories – the ‘why and how’ of their career choices, offer advice to budding apprentices and underscore the essential skills required to excel in this field.

The first episode features Jayson Fairburn, aka Mr. London Plumber on Instagram, who details his reasons for entering the trade: “I always saw it as this person works for themselves and can work for whoever they want,” he says. “I wanted to do that – and I wanted to have the freedom to be able to move wherever I wanted and do business wherever I wanted.”
