Hello

Quick intro....I’ve joined here because I’m planning a career change.... you guessed it, into plumbing. Im mid 30s and from a construction related background. Currently working in project management but sick of the corporate BS side of things. Wanted to trade train as a plumber when I was 16 and a pushy parent managed to influence me not to.

Fast forward 20 years and the desire is still there. I’m nit a total novice, I know my way around a tool bag and I have the basics. I’m looking to gain experience, knowledgeand an NVQ to start with and see where the career change takes me.

Any help, guidance and suggestions along the way would be appreciated.

thats a summary of me....Hello everyone.

cheers.
