Mr. McKay says “Paul has served the Association and represented the plumbing industry more broadly with what can only be described as “unsurpassed” passion, dedication and commitment. His knowledge of the licensing regime, Australian Standards, industrial relations and industry training is second to none. Paul has successfully represented the Association on numerous consultative committees and at various hearings over the years and has influenced policy, practice and law within the industry. Further, he has been responsible for the oversight of the employment and training of literally thousands of MPAL plumbing apprentice employees across NSW”

The Association’s Chief Operating Officer Michael Bennett will now move into the role of General Manager with Mr. Naylor serving in a part time capacity to provide technical advice, advocacy and to consult on licensing issues.

“It has been a pleasure serving the NSW plumbing industry through the Association for such a long period of time” said Mr. Naylor “I have had the very good fortune of establishing excellent relationships with plumbing contractor members as well as numerous Government stakeholders, politicians and regulators alike and I look forward to continuing these relationships, be it in a part time advisory role.”
