2 Luke's Editorial Would you be upset if someone stole power tools from your work vehicle? The theft of tools is a real problem for tradies across the country. There is, however, a much greater threat to a plumber's livelihood, that is, the issue of plumbing and hardware suppliers selling to the general public. It may not be as obvious as the smashed window and the empty truck but the result dwarfs the problem of stolen tools. Work and profit are being siphoned from your business seven days a week. Plumbing suppliers collectively sell a bit over 4.3 billion of goods every year. Hardware stores sell approximately 1.6 billion in the plumbing supplies sector. It is also estimated that of this collective 5.9 billion, 28% is sold to the unqualified general public. "WORK AND PROFIT ARE BEING SIPHONED FROM YOUR BUSINESS SEVEN DAYS A WEEK." I calculate the loss of turn-over to your average plumbing business as about 360,000 per annum. So if your business is bigger than average, the damage to your turn-over and profit grows in line with these figures. If you think you should feel angry about the theft of your tools, you should be even angrier about plumbing and hardware stores selling goods to the general public. At Plumbers Choice we will never sell to the general public. We proudly support plumbing businesses and we believe our Trade Only model is the way forward for the plumbing industry.
