According to Europe’s largest plumber training centre, the number of people applying to become a plumber has increased by over 30% in the last two months.
Building Trade Skills Centres say that they are currently handling more than 1,000 calls a week from people looking to enrol in their training centres in Manchester and Surrey.
It appears that traditional trades are bucking the trend of the economic slowdown, with 82% of plumbers saying that they are actually better off than a year ago.
