Sun City Plumbing has become an integral part of the Geraldton community since Michael Chester started the business 10 years ago. The business employs 55 people including 13 apprentices and 5 indigenous Australians and gives back to the local community through its involvement with the stepUP Foundation, whose purpose is to help educate disadvantaged teenagers through its coaching and mentoring programs.
Mr Chester started his first business, Chester Plumbing in 1997 but, realising how rapidly the company was growing, developed a business plan and a new business to meet the demand.
The company holds the Homeswest maintenance contract for the Geraldton and Midwest areas and has carried out work at the West Angelas Mine Site, the Geraldton Medical Centre and remote locations such as Christmas Creek.
