This year our chosen Christmas charities are Berry Street and the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal.Â
It has been lovely to see our Plumbers Choice community take part and even get their families involved!Â
Merry Christmas!!
In our opinion, the answer is an emphatic yes!
Running a small plumbing business is hard enough without competing
with your suppliers. Not only do they steal profit from you every year,
these companies are undermining community safety.
Plumbing and gas fitting are licensed trades for good reason,
if it is not done properly people get sick and can even die.
This year we have worked tirelessly to change our industry for the better.
We again thank our customers who support us in this push. Plumbers
Choice and other Trade Only suppliers have again gained market
share on the Grinches of the industry. We look forward to the
new year, where we will again work hard to ensure your trade is respected and your Christmas stockings are full.
Merry Trade Only Christmas.

At Plumbers Choice we love innovation. You could say innovation is built into our DNA. It’s our delight in bringing new ideas to market that make the lives of plumbers easier or more productive. Not every product we have promoted has been a world beater. In fact, I am first to admit some we have supported have been duds. The fact that some innovations have a meteoric rise and some flop is part of the excitement of bringing innovations to market. I also love the fact that plumbers are always willing to consider a new concept. I think this is because Plumbers, by their nature, are entrepreneurial. Many plumbers run their own businesses and are always looking for ways to do their job faster or in a better way.
This month we are proud to be bringing to market the Blockhead Lugged Elbow. You can simply use the Blockhead as you have always used a lugged elbow, that is, fix it to a noggin in the traditional method. The benefit of the Blockhead is that it can be fixed in other ways, to studs and to carpenters noggins. This means it can reduce the number of noggins required. When you consider the huge number of lugged elbows used every day and the potential labour saving, you can see why we are excited about the Blockhead.
We believe the Blockhead will be available early next year in a PEX system for water and gas. If you are interested in receiving more information please talk to your rep or flick us an email [email protected]

Most of our sales and administration teams have been working from home for the better part of five months. It’s been challenging but we’ve adapted and have even hit some exciting milestones during this time.
To say thanks for their hard work, we sent out Uber Eats vouchers for everyone to enjoy!
If your plumbing business has survived the past year then it can survive anything. Well done to all the small and large plumbing businesses that made it through the financial year we have just had. It is reassuring to all of us in this industry that we are an essential part of the community. Plumbers provide clean water, sanitation and heating and cooling which are all essential to human existence.
When things get tough, plumbers should feel secure and proud of the position they hold in the modern world. At Plumbers Choice we acknowledge the importance of plumbers and will never undermine plumbing businesses in the role they play. We are proud of our Trade Only policy and will never seek to make a quick buck by selling to the general public.

Now might be the time to get the Trade Only advantage for your business. The trading environment for plumbing businesses has probably never been tougher than it is at the moment. Your business deserves the Trade Only advantage.
• We will not sell to your customers. We are a genuine wholesaler, we will never sell to the general public.
• We do not give out prices to the general public, thus protecting the profit margins for your business.
• We only sell to plumbers.
This means the quality of our product is higher to meet the needs of professional tradesmen.
• Our product range is always in stock.
• Competitive pricing.
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.

This month we are calling out to all plumbers
who care about their industry.
We want you to join with us in changing our
industry for the better.
The rewards are clear:
• More respect, work and profit for licensed plumbers.
• A higher standard of plumbing work in the community.
This means safer drinking water, safer disposal of
waste, safer gas installations.
We want to hear from you.

As a plumber, is this the worst excuse you have ever heard from your store manager for selling to the general public? What the store manager is telling you, is that by selling to DIYers, he is simultaneously undermining your livelihood and making a higher profit.
Plumbing stores can make plenty without insulting you and your trade. So next time you hear the excuse “don’t worry, we charged him retail” your response should be, “So you made more money and I missed out on a job?”
At Plumbers Choice our goal is to change the way plumbing goods are sold in Australia to a Trade Only Industry. We will never sell to the general public!

Industry change just got a whole lot closer!
Thanks to the support of plumbers our Trade Only concept has been gaining momentum. This support has given us the confidence to set up a distribution centre in Sydney. This means we can now offer a same day service into metropolitan Sydney. This service will mean that more plumbers will be able to support Trade Only more often. The Trade Only change is good for plumbers and for the wider community.
If you would like to become part of changing an industry, there has never been a better time to give us a try.

Who was the first the first man to set foot on the moon?
An easy question to answer.
Who was the second?
Maybe some people know.
At Plumbers Choice we are incredibly proud to be the first Trade Only plumbing supplier in Australia. We thank Australian plumbers for the support we continue to receive. It is this support that will change our industry for the better.
No one remembers who the third person was to set foot on the moon. Clearly it is more memorable to be the first.
