Hi, I’m Paul, the proud Owner and Founder of aba TRADES. My story starts right here in Adelaide, where I grew up in Aberfoyle Park and attended Sacred Heart College. After finishing Year 11, I dove straight into my plumbing apprenticeship, and I haven’t looked back since.

Today, I’m a qualified Master Plumber with a Building Contractor’s license, leading one of Adelaide’s fastest-growing trade companies. What started as aba PLUMBING + GAS over 15 years ago has evolved into aba TRADES – a comprehensive trades business serving all of Adelaide’s metro suburbs.

My mission is simple: to deliver the best solutions to our customers by developing the best tradespeople. This isn’t just a tagline – it’s how we operate every single day.

As a leader, my focus is on guiding our incredible team toward success while ensuring our staff and customers support one another in ways that align with our core values. In this industry, trust is everything, and I’m personally committed to making aba TRADES synonymous with dependability – the company Adelaide turns to when help is needed.

What drives me most is our culture. The people who make up aba TRADES mean everything to me, and I believe that investing in our team creates better outcomes for everyone. We maintain an open-door policy where every voice matters, every team member is valued, and everyone deserves to be heard and understood.

When we work together as one cohesive team, united by our shared commitment to excellence, we don’t just provide a service, we deliver an experience that leaves our customers with a smile.

That’s the aba TRADES difference, and that’s what I’m most proud of.

Fun Fact: If you lost your dog and I found it, you may not get it back 🙂
