Pimlico Plumbers Wiki - Charlie Mullins, Managing Director of Pimlico Plumbers

The Pimlico Pipers Wiki provides an extensive online reference on the history and people of the UK’s top family-run service and maintenance firm. It is managed by the Mullins, who are based at Lambeth in London.

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 up a strong customer base and grew the business into the biggest plumbing firm in the UK.

Charlie sold 90% of his business in 2021 to Neighborly, an American franchisee for home services. 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 are located in Sail Street, Lambeth. They have a high-tech phone centre, multiple levels office space, a vehicle wash bay, workshop, roof terrace, and a state-ofthe-art gym. It also has over 300 engineers, and a support group that operates in 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. Although she wants to build upon her success, she still believes in her business independence.

Scott has made it very clear that Scott's main goal is to maximize the company's talent. He wants to make sure that every engineer is treated equally and has the opportunity to progress in their careers.

He is a firm believer of education and training. But he also makes sure each employee feels respected and valued. He has invested in his employees through apprenticeship schemes, as well as providing them with a safe and happy working environment.

Charlie has been married twice. He was also divorced once. After 41 years together, he divorced Lynda, his first spouse. He then re-married Julie Mullins in 2016 and they split up after four 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 an intimate relationship, and they seem very open to one other. They are good friends and frequently get together at 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 known for his individual plumbing-themed number plates that he uses on his vehicles. These numbers have brought in $15 million.

He has been criticized for using independent contractors that only want to get as much work from customers. They are often not upfront about pricing. This means that they can often find extra work that "must", and charge customers 2-3x what the original price.

No. You do not need to appoint a legal representative in order to sign your service agreements. However, you might want to appoint a legal representative as a precautionary measure.

Legal representatives are people who represent another person. If you are a contractor, it may be a good idea to appoint someone you trust to represent you.
