RICHARD L PERRINS – CHAIRMAN OF APHC

“Running a plumbing and heating business is always challenging — not just because of the legislation changes that need to be monitored and adapted to, but also due to the administrative demands of managing employees and keeping up with government regulatory changes. It’s reassuring to know that you have support on your side in the form of the APHC, which has been there for the past 100 years to bring important updates to your attention, offer expert advice, and guide our members through the complexities of the industry.”
MARK ANTROBUS – INCOMING PRESIDENT OF APHC

“Over the past 100 years the industry may have completely changed but APHC has always stayed current on regulations and the needs of our members which have also changed over the years. My vision for the future is for APHC to support the industry, environment, and members across the country. We will continue to advance forward in ever changing times and encourage our members to do the same.”
JOHN THOMPSON – CEO OF APHC

“2025 marks 100 years of APHC and I personally feel privileged to have been a part of the organisation that I care deeply about for around a third of that time. The plumbing and heating industry has undergone incredible transformations over the past 100 years and APHC has been at the forefront, ensuring our members receive the best possible support. We are proud of our heritage and remain dedicated to shaping a strong and sustainable future for plumbing and heating professionals. Our centenary is a testament to the resilience and dedication of our members, who have continuously upheld the highest industry standards.”
