Plumbquick Sponsor Arthritis New Zealand

NEWS: Plumbquick Sponsor Arthritis New Zealand

Plumbquick, leading Auckland and Wellington rapid response plumbing company, has teamed up with Arthritis New Zealand as their latest sponsor. Plumbquick, which celebrates its 14th birthday next month, has chosen the voluntary organisation based on the benefits the plumbing industry can bring to Arthritis sufferers and the trade’s long-term effects on its plumbers.

Grant Syminton, Plumbquick Director and owner, commented “Being a plumber is a rewarding job and as long as people rely on plumbing to get their water and to get rid of their waste, there will always be a need for a good plumber. However, due to the demands of the profession, many plumbers have to give up the plumbing trade at a relatively early age due to excessive pain and many are arthritis sufferers.”

In fact, more than half a million New Zealanders are currently living with arthritis… that’s one in every six people over the age of 15 years – or, one in every three people over the age of 45 years! With over 140 different types of arthritis, these can affect people of all ages – from babies and toddlers right through to those in their adult years. Arthritis New Zealand offers an extensive information and education service.

Arthritis New Zealand Chief Executive Sandra Kirby says that for people living with arthritis, day-to-day tasks can become a test of endurance.

“When you have arthritis in your hands, something as simple as turning on the water tap can be tough. We are pleased to announce our newest sponsors, Plumbquick, and we are looking forward to see how their expertise can benefit the 530,000 New Zealanders living with arthritis”

Plumbquick will be sharing some practical advice and also tailoring some special products and services to suit different types of arthritis and limited mobility. The first of these offers is aimed at making life easier around the house for those with limited hand mobility by replacing existing tapware with extended levers. Plumbquick are also offering a very competitive price on installing water filters for added health benefits. For information on these products, please free call 0508 475864 (Auckland) or 0800 275864 (Wellington).
