History

Established in 1976.

Whywait Plumbing Services are a family owned and operated business, founded in 1976 by Gary and Michele Mays and still run as a family business that now includes sons Gareth, Daniel and Andrew.

These days Whywait Plumbing Services is a dynamic, family based and orientated Queensland company. This was not the case when Gary Mays founded the company in 1976 it was a general plumbing company mainly working for builders on new construction projects.

With the demise of traditional skill based builders into project managers entirely focused on price and with little concern for quality Gary in 1990 changed the direction and focus of Whywait Plumbing.

The evolution and development into a specialist maintenance service company with a focus on exceptional customer service, preventative maintenance, sustainability and environmental plumbing began in earnest in 1991. Today Whywait Plumbing Services runs a fleet of 12 vehicles providing a 24 hour, 7 day service to our clients.

Meet the Business Owner

Michele M.

Business Owner

In 1978 when Gary and Michele Mays were married Michele was a nurse working in a cardiology ward. As Michele has discovered her nursing qualifications have been beneficial to owning Whywait Plumbing over the years. Obvious advantages are dealing with medical ailments of employees. Less obvious is the ability to liaise with employees and clients over the theory of plumbing system operations because the way a body circulation system operates has many similarities with the plumbing and drainage systems in a building.

As Whywait Plumbing expanded so did the role of Michele in the everyday administration. In 1998 the juggling of a nursing career in conjunction with her workloads at Whywait Plumbing and the demands of 4 children saw Michele decide to concentrate on Whywait Plumbing.

These days Michele is the full time Administration Manager at Whywait Plumbing as well as co-​ordinating training and professional development for all employees.
