The Free Flow Story
A brief history of Free Flow Plumbing from owner Brett Scarborough.
I started my plumbing apprenticeship in 1988, working for one of Adelaide’s leading companies at the time, Percy Priest & Son, and was the first person in South Australia to complete my Master Plumbers Certificate before I completed my apprenticeship. I was Awarded the plumbing industry's “Most Proficient – Best Overall” apprentice of the year in 1992.
I worked at Percy Priest & Son for 5 years and travelled Australia for 2 years, working in maintenance at resorts around the country. Back in Adelaide in 1996, I set up my own business, Free Flow Plumbing. Established in May 1996, I worked for 2 years on my own, then travelled overseas for 2 years while working in London, UK, on high-rise stock brokerage refits. I returned to Australia in June 2000 where I began to expand Free Flow Plumbing, taking on my first apprentice in 2001.
Tickets held: Gas Fitters Licence, Plumbers Licence, B Class Electrical Licence, and Builders Licence.
