    S3 E21 - Harscan Distributors

    Plumbers know that they get their plumbing supplies from stores that sell them. But what happens behind the scenes. Where do suppliers get their stock from and where do importers and distributors fit into the picture? In this episode I chat with Malcolm Harris of Harscan Distributors, about Harscan having recently been awarded IOPSA’s Importer of the Year Award, and the fact that and that speaks books of Harscan’s prominent position and involvement in the plumbing industry. But that it also says a lot about the quality of products it imports and the excellent service it offers.

    S3 E20 - LJR Plumbing Supplies and LJR Pumps

    Isn’t it lekker to walk into your local community plumbing store, and chat to those familiar faces who are knowledgeable and experienced to provide you with technical and theoretical support on all the products you buy from them? We’re all familiar with the larger franchise and group retail supply stores, but we can never forget our independent stores and what they bring to our local communities. But how do they survive, and how do they compete so that they can still add value to technicians, installers and other customers? In this episode, I chat with Marius Riekert and Alwyn Kotze, of LJR Plumbing Supplies and LJR Pumps respectively.

    S3 E19 - Specialised Pipe Rehabilitation

    When there’s a problem with pipes, you may think that replacement is the only option. Of course, this is an invasive plumbing procedure, that may require excavation that may tear up your customer’s yard. It can also be very costly. But there is another option. In this episode, I chat with my guests, Nevina Govender and Clint Eksteen, about Specialised Pipe Rehabilitation Africa, and the fact that pipe rehabilitation, or relining, is a less invasive and less costly option.

In this episode I chat with my guest, Craig Miller, the technical manager of Saniflo SA. to delve into Saniflo’s history, its role and impact within the plumbing sector, its range of products and where they’re manufactured, and quite a bit of other interesting information about Saniflo.

    S3 E15 (PART 2) - The Next Generation with Coach UPP

    One of the challenges facing the plumbing industry is the growing gap between those who are retiring from the industry and those who are entering it. We see many second and third-generation plumbers who step into their predecessors’ shoes with slightly more ease than plumbers who are completely new to the industry. To achieve sustainability in the industry, the industry not only requires properly trained and qualified plumbers, who can do the physical work, but it also needs people who have business acumen, leadership qualities, and other qualities and skills that are not readily taught. In this episode (PART 2 of Ep. 15), I continue my conversation with Duncan and Mandy Keil, of the UPP Group, about the next generation of plumbers and how we can ensure that we maintain a sustainable industry.
