START A NUFUTURE WITH NUFLOW

I started my first plumbing business at 28 and bought a few franchises along the way. They’ve all got very high turnovers and I’ve been managing them myself on a full-time basis. But the potential I see for Nuflow and pipe relining is massive and maybe I was ready for a new challenge, so I’ve stepped down as MD to focus entirely on Nuflow Northern Rivers.

We run a family plumbing business and we solely went into pipe relining because the market demanded it. When we started looking into Nuflow and going through their processes and how they went about things, it was clear their approach was very similar to ours because they were all about the quality, and like us, they operate along the lines of – when somebody else says no, we say yes.

With their franchise model they’re going to be able to build their brand to become more recognised as a complete relining service rather than just a manufacturer of relining supplies and we want to be part of the process that builds that brand, and make Nuflow the ‘go to’ if someone thinks relining – kind of like the Eski of relining. And we genuinely believe that’s where Nuflow can be.

There was a small operation in Victoria I was considering signing with, but then out of the blue a guy from Nuflow rang and I really liked everything he told me about what they were trying to achieve so next day I drove down to the Gold Coast to have a look and I was sold.

I signed a few weeks later and I’ve been growing with them ever since. The other company’s not even around anymore so it was a really lucky coincidence because Nuflow’s just getting bigger and bigger and the product and the network are getting stronger, so to me it’s ticking a lot of boxes.

We chose to adopt the Nuflow system because of its versatility, with Nuflow’s ability to custom make liners we can reline virtually any pipe that we come across, and with their network of close to 40 licensees and highly experienced staff at Nuflow there is always plenty of advice and support available when you come across those “out of the ordinary” jobs.

The Nuflow relining system is a core part of our business, and is the most profitable, it gives us a unique selling point that places us way ahead of the competition and other plumbers in town are even bringing work to us!

Our Nuflow journey started as a Nuflow licensee in 2005 and after over 10 years of being licensed to use the Nuflow product with great success, we took the opportunity to embrace the benefits of being a Nuflow franchisee and expand our franchise area. As the franchisee for Brisbane South, Logan, and Ipswich areas, we have evolved our business into only carrying out Pipe Rehabilitation and Relining services, moving away from plumbing maintenance.

Nuflow has a network of franchisees around Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, this enables us to tap into a wealth of knowledge in using the Nuflow product.

As a Franchisee, Nuflow are the only relining product in the marketplace that backs their product with comprehensive training and product support. Having the Nuflow product manufactured on the Gold Coast enables us to provide bespoke solutions to our clients in a timely and cost-effective manner.
