Pimlico Plumbers was established by Charlie Mullins, a Pimlico real estate agent. With a small van and some tools, he started it in 1979. He quickly built up a customer base and transformed the business into the UK's biggest plumbing company.
Charlie sold 90% of his business in 2021 to Neighborly, an American franchisee for home services. The new owners have ambitious plans. They envision a national expansion to more that 4,500 franchises, and a substantial increase in the number engineering staff.
The company's headquarters are in Sail Street, Lambeth and have a high-tech call centre, multiple levels of office space, a vehicle wash bay and workshop, a state-of-the-art gym and roof terrace. Over 300 engineers are employed by the business, as well as a support team that works across London and South East.

Scott made it clear that he is determined to make the company a success by maximizing the potential of its employees. He wants to make sure that every engineer is treated equally and has the opportunity to progress in their careers.
He is a firm believer of education and training. But he also makes sure each employee feels respected and valued. He has made investments in his employees by providing safe and happy working environments, as well as apprenticeship schemes.
As for his personal life, Charlie has been married twice and divorced once. He and his first wife, Lynda, separated after 41 years of marriage. He then married Julie Mullins, his second wife of 41 years. They divorced in 2016 after four more years of marriage.

The two appear to have a close bond, and they are very receptive to one another. They are now close friends, and they often spend time at the seaside together.
Charlie Mullins, a businessman by profession, has managed to make his company a household brand. He is well-known for his unique plumbing-themed number plate on his fleet of vehicles. They have earned $15 million in business.
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 do not always give clear pricing information so they may find additional work that is "must" be done, and then charge customers 2-3x their original price.

This could also mean that you hire a solicitor or an accountant. It could also be the appointment of someone to look out for your business interests.
