The Pimlico Pipers Wiki provides an extensive online reference on the history and people of the UK’s top family-run service and maintenance firm. It is run by the Mullins family, and based in Lambeth, London.
Pimlico Plumbers was founded by Charlie Mullins in 1979. He started the business from the basement at a Pimlico estate agency with a van and a few tools. He quickly built up a customer base and transformed the business into the UK's biggest plumbing company.
Charlie sold 90% to Neighborly (a US franchisee of home services) in 2021. The new owners have ambitious goals for the company. These include a nationwide expansion of the franchise network to more than 4,500 locations and an increase in the number engineer positions.
The headquarters of the company is located in Sail Street Lambeth. It has a high tech call centre, multiple levels and office space. Over 300 engineers are employed by the business, as well as a support team that works across London and South East.
Daisy, his daughter, works as a control room supervisor. She said that her father has helped her stay grounded and given her a strong work ethic and business knowledge. She wants to build on her successes, but also to maintain her independence as an entrepreneur.
Scott made it clear that he is determined to make the company a success by maximizing the potential of its employees. Scott wants every engineer to be treated equally and to have the chance to advance in their career.
Although he believes in education and training, he has worked hard to make sure that every employee feels valued and heard. He has invested in the development of his employees through apprenticeships, and provided a safe working environment.
Charlie has been married twice before getting divorced. After 41 years, he split with Lynda his first wife. He then re-married Julie Mullins in 2016 and they split up after four years of marriage.
In his spare time, he owns a villa in Marbella and has a singer girlfriend named RaRa. He is 38 years younger than her and they met at a Spanish beach.
They seem to share a close bond and are open to each other. They are close friends who often meet at the beach together.
A businessman by trade, but with a natural gift for the gab and marketing, Charlie Mullins has been able to turn his business into a household name. He is known for his individual plumbing-themed number plates that he uses on his vehicles. These numbers have brought in $15 million.
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 are often not upfront about pricing. This means that they can often find extra work that "must", and charge customers 2-3x what the original price.
