South Waikato: DPS Developments REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Right from the very moment Stephen Mulholland and Jade Corry took over the reins of Van Dam Plumbing they were committed to growing the business and meeting the needs of their new and existing customers. Rebranded as Van Dam Plumbing 2020 Ltd, the well-established plumbing and drainlaying company has already added three new apprentices and one new quali ed tradesman under Stephen’s leadership. The company is now looking to add gas tting to its diverse o ering and meet a growing customer demand — all part of being customer focused. Stephen spent 15 years working for the business before he and Jade were o ered the opportunity to buy it, and have never looked back. “Steven Van Dam guided and mentored us through our rst year of business, which along with the existing team of great tradesmen, helped us immensely.” Based in the rural township of Putaruru in South Waikato, Van Dam Plumbing 2020 has a strong and loyal customer base across residential, light commercial, council and rural sectors. As well as investing in people, Van Dam Plumbing 2020 has invested in new vans to complement its eet along with two new excavators, a drainage camera and compactors enabling it to undertake larger projects. “There’s a lot going on throughout Plumbing excellence with Van Dam South Waikato and the surrounding areas,” says Stephen. “With the high cost of housing in the cities many people are moving into the provincial areas and so we’re actively involved in a lot of new housing and subdivision work, subcontracting to a number of local builders. We do everything from new builds and renovations, to new bathrooms, e uent, septic and water tanks. We do a lot of maintenance work for the council and real estate companies. We also have very strong ties to the rural community.” Enjoying a long and successful business relationship with DPS Development, Van Dam Plumbing 2020 is currently upgrading storm water systems and adding toilet systems to two properties recently bought by the developers in preparation for further commercial development. Re ecting on the success of Van Dam Plumbing 2020, Stephen says having a good work ethic is a good place to start, but it has also been about building solid relationships with core customers over the last 15 years he has been with Van Dam Plumbing.” “I enjoy the business of plumbing and the diversity it brings. I have enjoyed watching our business grow and making the most of the opportunities at this very busy time in the construction industry. Demand has pushed us to grow faster than we thought we would but things are going amazingly well.” HIRING NOW! send your CV to: admin@vandamplumbing2020.co.nz or contact Jade on 027 307 8140
