Running a successful plumbing and heating business requires a whole lot more than just technical expertise – irrespective of whether you’re ‘a man (or woman) with a van’ or a national operation. For us, success calls for a commitment to being accountable across every aspect of our business. From adhering to environmental directives and initiatives to meeting and exceeding customer expectations as well as managing economic challenges, for us accountability is the cornerstone of our long-term success.
Environmental accountability
With the increasing emphasis on environmental sustainability, plumbing and heating businesses quite simply must be accountable for their impact on the environment. Customer/client work aside, this includes ensuring that all our operations, from waste disposal to our choice of materials, comply with environmental regulations. Being accountable in this area not only helps us help the environment but also enhances our reputation as a responsible business – which is why we take it so seriously.
Economic accountability
Economic conditions are rarely predictable, and running a plumbing and heating business requires us to be able to deal with the ebbs and flows the economy throws at us. This calls for keeping our finger firmly on the financial management pulse. Accountability in financial matters means maintaining transparent and responsible practices, such as fair pricing and timely payments to suppliers and employees – things we take very seriously. By being economically accountable, we have a resilient business that can better weather economic downturns and thrive during periods of growth. In turn, this means that we’re here for our customers and clients, no matter what. Unfortunately, today there are too many businesses which are ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ which does no favours either for the reputation of our sector or for customer satisfaction.
Customer accountability
Customers/clients are the lifeblood of any business. And for us being accountable to them involves delivering consistent, high-quality service, being transparent about costs, and promptly addressing any issues that arise with integrity. In a competitive market, accountability at this level fosters trust and loyalty, leading to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals – something we’re very proud and grateful to have.
Employment accountability
A plumbing and heating business is only ever as strong as its team – and we’re so grateful to have a fabulous team right now. Being accountable to our employees means paying fair wages, ensuring safe working conditions, and offering opportunities for continuous professional development. When employees feel valued and supported, they are more likely to feel motivated, productive, and committed to the success of the business.
Accountability for us at Precise isn’t a buzzword, it’s a way of life, a major part of who we are. By being accountable to environmental developments, economic challenges, customer needs, and employment practices, we build a business that’s not only profitable but also sustainable and respected.
