The benefits of undergoing plumbing training are all too apparent in the light of one entrepreneur, who has made millions selling heating and plumbing products.
Though Austen Salton did not even own a computer in 2003, he now runs a heating and plumbing website that attracts 186,000 visitors a month and uses web service provider iomart Hosting.
Marketing director Phil Worms said that for firms such as Salton's, any website downtime results in lost revenue.
Therefore, unlike many other business hosting companies, iomart does not keep to traditional working hours
"Just as we expect the plumbing world to be fast, responsive and on call 24/7, so Austen has a right to expect the same of his managed hosting supplier," he stated.
Those inspired by Salton's tale might be interested to learn that plumbing course completers could benefit from new Warwickshire initiative which - according to the Birmingham Post - is aimed at helping new businesses get motivated.
