About Emily & William

Meet the directors! The pair grew up a street apart in Vaucluse without even knowing until years later! William is one of the directors of Proximity Plumbing; William was born and raised in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, growing up as a Local in Vaucluse. William started his early years at Vaucluse public school and later went to Waverley college for high school.

As a student at Waverley College, William's time was a wonderful experience that positively shaped his life and cultivated essential qualities such as honesty, respect, leadership, and empathy. During his time at Waverley, he developed a found interest in rugby league, which was fortunate enough to play till year 12.

Starting in the workforce at the age of 14, William always understood the value of hard work and money. His first job was at McDonald’s on Bondi Beach. As the years went on, he moved through different roles and started his plumbing apprenticeship during Year 12 to get a head start.

After completing his Certificate of Plumbing, where he learned all the fundamentals of plumbing and customer service, William went on extending his experience and challenging himself – he was able to complete his advanced diploma before officially completing his apprenticeship.

William started the journey of Proximity plumbing as soon as he had finished his apprenticeship and successfully obtained his Certificate IV in Plumbing and plumbing licence. He jumped straight into real estate and strata maintenance with the contacts he had developed through his time at Waverley college.

Emily began her journey as a flight attendant for Virgin Australia

It wasn’t long after meeting William that she utilized her skills at proximity Plumbing. Her first role was marketing which soon developed into full-time manager and scheduler. Now Emily runs Proximity Plumbing from the office in Dover Heights with 3x full-time office admin assistants. Growing the business, whilst growing within the business.

Her vision is to be the most reputable plumbing company in the Eastern Suburbs. The lines between work and life may be blurry, although Emily has a clear vision of where Proximity Plumbing is going and how it plans to be a household name for local eastern suburb residents.

Emily wants Proximity Plumbing to be a household name synonymous with the Eastern suburbs of Sydney. Emily identified a gap in the Sydney plumbing market. She set out to offer quality service, while being upfront from the beginning about costs, and to be someone his clients could depend on.

To Present Day- 9 Vehicles

We might have grown in the past 10 years but our commitment to providing superior service hasn’t. With a larger team, we can now leverage the strengths of each dedicated member and more importantly provide a rapid response and same day service which customers love.

We have built a strong family dynamic within our team; we appreciate that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses but as a team, we can solve any issue and constantly surpass the expectations of our clients

Conducting our business with integrity, honesty, fairness, and respect has allowed us to grow in such a short period of time without expanding our service area. Keeping it local starts without a team who all live within the surrounding eastern suburbs community.
