Toolbox Down Under: A Peek Into the Australian Trades Life

We’re heading to “the land down under” to chat with Scott and Vicky Irwin, co-owners of Network Plumbing in Sydney, Australia, about their nearly 40-year journey of building a thriving plumbing business.

They discuss how they navigated the 2008 financial crisis, the importance of hiring the right people, and the unique challenges of working as a married couple in business. Scott and Vicky bring their signature humor and optimism as they break down the lessons learned from decades in the industry.

Tune in to hear how Network Plumbing pivoted from commercial to residential work, why company culture and mindset matter, and how they keep things fun while running a successful business.

• [2:54] Overcoming a financial crisis and the power of optimism
