2023 saw some uncertain times creep into our industry. Interest rate rises, new home builds slowing, builders going under and the cost of living increases, have started to take their toll on some plumbers and the industry.
In these slower times Trade Only becomes even more of an imperative. Its proven that when times are getting tough and the general public feeling the pinch and licensed trade use drops.
Not only is this a safety risk it trickles down to the plumber who loses out on work.
What is 2024 going to bring? The industry has always had its peaks and troughs; we hope 2024 is a good year for all and for Trade Only.
