Established 2017 – I guess there were a few stories that saw the start of Too Hot To Handle
-
My mate and I (my partner to be) were talking over a few beers and having a chat about work. He wasn’t happy where he was and although I liked my boss, I guess there was something that wasn’t fulfilling me. So we agreed that we would both quit our jobs on Monday and start Too Hot To Handle. On Monday I received a call from my mate saying “I’ve done it, how did you go”. It was a little harder for me as I liked my boss, so I didn’t quit that day. I thought ‘this is really happening. Guess I better quit’
-
My mates mum was telling us about a quote she had received to fix her roof. She had been quoted 17k to complete the job, which I thought was outrageous. I said to her ‘I recan i could get that done for a few thousand dollars’ and I did. To be able to help a friends mum in a simple way that made a big impact for her was important.
-
We started with a VS Commodore and a trailer on the back, going from job to job, which was all by referral. Word got around pretty quickly that we did a good job and were easy to deal with
-
With the strong referrals and increase in business, we bought our first van.
-
One of my old bosses said I’m coming to work with you. I said we really aren’t that set up. I wasn’t even sure we had enough work to cover an extra worker and I told him that. He came anyway, I gave him the van to work in and I was back to the Commodore and trailer.
-
The next 3-4 years were all ‘word of mouth’ jobs and we grew each year with staff and work. Our work is based on, and always has been honesty and quality work. Each new team member was another mate to the fold, who contributed to the happy, easy going company culture.
-
Hired our first apprentice – My partner and I knew what it was like to be an apprentice and how we were treated in those days. Everyone in the team regardless of their experience is treated with respect and embraced by our friendly culture. A supportive team creates a great learning environment for our apprentices. Our first apprentice is still with us today and is now a fully qualified plumber.
-
COVID – Well that was scary! This was a massively challenging time due to all the restrictions and rules about not being able to work. Some of the staff approached me concerned about their jobs as there were many in the industry being made redundant. I simply said “no-one is losing their job, I’d rather lose my house than put anyone off”. In this time, my business partner decided that he wanted to travel and work for the business rather than part own it. So that’s what we did
-
We stuck it out through COVID and once restrictions were lifted we came back and were busier than we had ever been.
-
Today we have 11 vans, 22 staff and have completed more than 10000 heating and cooling jobs.
-
I can honestly say “we didn’t mean to be a large company”. It gradually happened and even though we are a larger company today, it still feels like the company we started 7 years ago
