The Pimlico plumbers wiki provides a detailed online resource about the history, people and business of the UK's most respected family-run service maintenance company and service provider. It is owned and operated by the Mullins Family, based in Lambeth.
Pimlico Plumbers was founded by Charlie Mullins in 1979. He started the business from the basement at a Pimlico estate agency with a van and a few tools. He quickly established a loyal customer base and made the company the largest plumbing firm in the UK.
Charlie sold 90% to Neighborly (a US franchisee of home services) in 2021. 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. The company also has more than 300 engineers on staff and a support team which works in London as well the South East.
His daughter Daisy, who works as a control room manager, said her father has kept her grounded and has empowered her with business knowledge and work ethic. While she is eager to build on her success, she also wants to be a successful businesswoman.
Scott has made it clear that his main goal is to build the company in a way that makes the most of its talent. 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 made investments in his employees by providing safe and happy working environments, as well as apprenticeship schemes.
Charlie has been married twice and divorced once in his private life. He and his first wife, Lynda, separated after 41 years of marriage. He then re-married Julie Mullins in 2016 and they split up after four years of marriage.
In his spare time, he owns a villa in Marbella and has a singer girlfriend named 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. His fleet of vehicles has earned him a reputation for having unique plumbing-themed number plates.
His business model has been criticised for using independent contractors who only want to take as much work as they can from their customers. They don't always disclose pricing so they are able to find additional work that "must be" done and charge customers between 2-3x and 2-3x the original cost.
