The Pimlico Plumbers wiki is a comprehensive online resource on the history, people and businesses of the UK's leading family-run service and maintenance company. It is owned and operated by the Mullins Family, based in Lambeth.
Pimlico Plumbers was started by Charlie Mullins who, starting with a used van and a handful of tools, began the company in 1979. He quickly established a loyal customer base and made the company the largest plumbing firm in the UK.
In 2021, Charlie sold 90% of his business to Neighborly, a US home services franchise operator. The new owners have ambitious plans for the company, which includes a nationwide expansion to more than 4,500 franchises and a significant increase in the number of engineers.
The headquarters of the company is located in Sail Street Lambeth. It has a high tech call centre, multiple levels and office space. Over 300 engineers are employed by the business, as well as a support team that works across London and South East.
Daisy, his daughter, works as a control room supervisor. She said that her father has helped her stay grounded and given her a strong work ethic and business knowledge. While she is eager to build on her success, she also wants to be a successful businesswoman.
Scott has made it clear that his main goal is to build the company in a way that makes the most of its talent. He wants engineers to be treated equally, and given the chance to grow in their careers.
He believes strongly in education and training. However, he also strives to make every employee feel valued and respected. He has invested in his staff through apprenticeships and created a happy, safe work environment.
Charlie has been married twice. He was also divorced once. After 41 years together, he divorced Lynda, his first spouse. In 2016, he married Julie Mullins again, and the couple split after four years.
In his spare times, he lives in Marbella with RaRa, a singer girlfriend. They met 38 years ago on a Spanish beach.
They appear to have a close relationship and are very responsive to each other. They have become very good friends and often get together on the beach.
Charlie Mullins, a businessman by profession, has managed to make his company a household brand. His fleet of vehicles has earned him a reputation for having unique plumbing-themed number plates.
His business model is criticized for using independent contractors who want to do as much work as possible for their customers. They don't always disclose pricing so they are able to find additional work that "must be" done and charge customers between 2-3x and 2-3x the original cost.

How To
How do you write a simple service agreement?
A contract should be written in plain English using short sentences and paragraphs. It should contain all the relevant information, including details about what the customer receives for his/her money. The price should also be clearly stated at the end of the document.
The language should be easily understood by all who read it, and should not include legal jargon.
Complex words like and' and ‘or’ should be avoided as they are hard to read. Also, avoid using technical terms unless they are necessary.
Use bullet points whenever possible to make the text easier to follow.
Avoid putting too much information in the contract. Only write down what is essential for both parties.
You should not promise or make guarantees about the quality of the service.
Also, be clear about when the service will end and begin.
Make sure that the contract includes all the details of payment.This means that you must specify whether the customer pays before or after receiving the service.Also, ensure that the contract states who is liable for paying the invoice.For example, if the customer is liable for paying the bill, he/she should pay the invoice within 30 days of receiving it.
If the customer isn't responsible for paying the invoice, it is important that you receive payment in full from him/her before you start work. This will ensure that you don't lose money due to late payments.
All documents related to the contract should be kept in a backup. These documents should be kept safe.
Don't sign anything until it has been thoroughly reviewed.
You must ask the customer permission to change the contract.
Always remember to keep a copy of the contract for future reference.
