Rob Kidd, the CEO of NZPM has been a passionate supporter of the Young Plumber of the Year since its inception. Rob has always been a strong advocate for getting the next generation interested in getting a trade. He also recognises the importance of celebrating excellence and highlighting skills and talent within the Plumbing Industry. 

“This initiative really helps to give a hand up to all those young tradies who want to succeed and to make a career out of plumbing, drainlaying or gas fitting.  The connections and learnings they have throughout the competition really help the competitors with their confidence, maturity and understanding of the whole industry and it is a pleasure watching them succeed further in the years that follow”.
