Pimlico Plumbers began in 1979 by Charlie Mullins from the basement office of an estate agent in Pimlico. He had a second-hand van but no tools and was able to get started. He quickly built a solid customer base, and the business grew to be the UK's largest plumbing company.
Charlie sold 90% off his business to Neighborly USA in 2021. The new owners have ambitious goals for the company. These include a nationwide expansion of the franchise network to more than 4,500 locations and an increase in the number engineer positions.
The company's headquarters are in Sail Street, Lambeth and have a high-tech call centre, multiple levels of office space, a vehicle wash bay and workshop, a state-of-the-art gym and roof terrace. The company also has more than 300 engineers on staff and a support team which works in London as well the South East.
Daisy, Daisy's mother, works in a control area manager role. Daisy says that her father has kept Daisy grounded and has given her a business education and work ethic. Although she wants to build upon her success, she still believes in her business independence.
Scott made it clear that he is determined to make the company a success by maximizing the potential of its employees. He wants to make sure that every engineer is treated equally and has the opportunity to progress in their careers.
While he is a strong believer in education and training, he also works hard to ensure each employee feels heard and valued. He has invested in his staff through apprenticeships and created a happy, safe work environment.
Charlie was married twice, and has been divorced once. After 41 years of marriage, Charlie and Lynda separated. He then married Julie Mullins, his second wife of 41 years. They divorced in 2016 after four more years of marriage.
He has a Marbella villa and a singer girlfriend, RaRa. He is 38 years older than her, and they met while on vacation in Spain.
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.
A businessman by trade, but with a natural gift for the gab and marketing, Charlie Mullins has been able to turn his business into a household name. He is famous for using individual plumbing-themed number plates on his fleet of vehicles, which have racked up $15 million worth of business.
His business model is criticized for using independent contractors who want to do as much work as possible for their customers. They do not always give clear pricing information so they may find additional work that is "must" be done, and then charge customers 2-3x their original price.
