AN EXPERIENCED local plumbing duo has taken over the reins of one of the Surf Coast’s most popular plumbing businesses.
Ten-year industry veterans Hugh Clarke and Tom Turner are the new owners of A-Z Plumbing after purchasing the business from recently retired founders Noel and Janet Foster.
Since 1999, A-Z Plumbing has served the Surf Coast region as a small, honest, fair and successful local plumbing service.
Its new owners are committed to continuing on Noel and Janet’s legacy and ensuring every customer has advice, options and alternatives which suit their plumbing needs and budget.
New A-Z Plumbing owners Tom Turner and Hugh Clarke.
Whether it be a leaking tap, blocked drain, hot water replacement, roof leak, or kitchen and bathroom renovation assistance, A-Z Plumbing guarantee the issue is always solved within the day.
Having both come from a mix of domestic and commercial plumbing backgrounds, co-owner Hugh Clarke said it was exciting to take on this new venture.
“It’s reputation certainly drew us to the business. It’s been around a long time.
“We met Janet and Noel earlier in the year and they were really genuine people, so we were really drawn to it!
“They’ve had it for 25 years, and they’ve put their blood, sweat and tears into it all.
“It’s a great opportunity for both of us to branch out of Geelong and Melbourne where we were previously working.
“We hope to really carry on its success and if we can do it just as well or better than Noel and Janet, then ever better.”
The duo has retained all previous staff and are looking forward to developing both pre-existing and new client relationships all over the Surf Coast.
“One of the main things for us will be making sure it’s a really seamless transition for all the employers in the business.
“To keep all these guys who have been here for over 15 years is invaluable. They know all the houses and all the clients personally.
“They all live locally, and know the business and plumbing like the back of their hand.
“Secondary to that, we want to make sure our clients feel like nothing has changed.
“We want them to continue to be happy with the service being provided.”
A-Z Plumbing service Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven, Lorne, Bellbrae, Jan Juc and Torquay.
The team are also willing to take jobs in Geelong if time permits.
