Plans have been concluded by sanitary ware company, Bathrooms Direct, in conjunction with Bagno Technik, to enlighten and empower plumbers in the country with skill sets needed to succeed in the plumbing industry.

Divisional Head, Bathrooms Direct, Princess Kay-Olufade, said it was the firm’s way of providing opportunities for them and training them to be the best in their craft.

She said the training would be held at the second edition of Plumbers’ Conference in Lagos and Abuja on August 31. She said this year’s conference themed, ‘The use of technology in simplifying plumbing solutions,’ will have the artisans gain new and updated knowledge in plumbing and discover new business opportunities by becoming part of the community.

She said: “The purpose of this conference is to take the plumbing industry to the next level. We work with a lot of plumbers in installing sanitary wares for our clients. We look forward to achieving a higher success rate in this year’s edition.”
