e x p e r t s
Owner/Operator Emerald Beach Plumbing
Peter started his apprenticeship in Melbourne in the early '80s at the Gas & Fuel Corporation. After completing his advanced training, he then started his own very successful business in Melbourne for 10 years, before moving to Coffs Harbour. Plumbing in a big city like Melbourne has many different aspects to it, as opposed to regional areas. However, it has been great to meld the two. By combining the metropolitan and regional plumbing experiences, Pete has managed to gain a vast knowledge in all aspects of plumbing. Why do we need an expert? Plumbing is a licensed trade for a very good reason. There are many health sensitive areas that we deal with and high risk situations. It is important to engage a licensed tradesman to identify, evaluate and repair the problem in a fast, effective and cost efficient manner. Often people try and do minor repairs themselves, unaware of the dangers and the possibility of causing major damage as a result of not doing the job correctly. What has changed in the industry since you started? Work health and safety requirements have changed the way we run our business and approach every aspect of our work. Sustainability in plumbing is another area that has changed and brought an environmental conscience into the industry. What is the highlight of your job? Meeting people and helping them solve issues. I love a challenge.

Strata & Community Manager SMS Strata Management Group
What is the unique selling point in your business? We’re community and strata management specialists and nothing else. Only when you’re focused on one segment of the industry can you become completely immersed in strata legislation. Plus, when you're big, your clients get great gains from trusted systems, like our ‘tradie’ checking system. What is this system? When you're self-managing or having a one-man Strata Manager look after you, it's unlikely that you (or they) will have the know-how to check every tradesman you contract. We do. We use a national online system to check their ABN, their license, their trading history, their insurance and Workplace Health and Safety compliance. What makes your business stand out? We celebrated 25 years recently, plus we're the largest independent strata management firm in regional NSW – based here in the CBD.
Trusting the care of the roof over your head to “a large firm like ours, with decades of experience and a qualified local team, is the only safe option. Our 8,000 clients can back me up on this!
