Peter Jackson Plumbing wins major award

WELL DONE: Peter and Sonya Jackson at the New Zealand Plumbing Awards.

Paraparaumu company Peter Jackson Plumbing has won the supreme national Master Plumber of the Year Award title.

Company owners Peter and Sonya Jackson were present to receive the prestigious award at the New Zealand Plumbing Awards, held in Rotorua on April 8.

"It was a massive privilege and also a responsibility for us to represent Master Plumbers and the industry through this award," Peter said.

"We try to set a standard as a business in our community and to give our best to our customers."

The couple are strong on community spirit.

They have lived and worked in Kapiti for nearly 20 years, and always look locally when hiring employees for their plumbing firm, Peter Jackson Plumbing.

"All our staff are from the local community and we only shop in the community," Sonya said.

"We also try to give back by supporting local not-for-profit youth organisations such as Youth Quest, Zeal and Kapiti Youth Support."

Peter Jackson Plumbing is a long-standing member of Master Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers NZ.

"Master Plumbers helps you to improve your game, upskill and do well in business," Peter said.

"They want you to provide your customers with the service they would expect from someone who has spent six years getting qualified."

The Peter Jackson team of six qualified tradespeople carry out a wide range of services, from plumbing, gasfitting, drainage and roofing to solar water heating system installations.
