Franchisor Profile

In a business that deals with dirty work, it takes a certain panache to build a brand that customers rally around, and employees are proud to be part of. Lucky for Steve Terblanche, he’s got it in spades, and his natural talents for design, marketing, and entrepreneurship seamlessly meshed with his plumbing expertise when he launched Polite Plumbers in 2020. With a wickedly funny logo, Steve got more than just the locals talking, and soon, he was all over the news, the net, and the radio. Since then, Polite Plumbers has grown from one man with a van into a team of more than ten highly skilled professionals ditching the plumber's crack and bringing politeness to the pipes instead. A smart marketer, savvy businessman, and strong leader, Steve is ready to embark on the next phase of Polite Plumbers’ growth. As demand rolls in from across the country, Steve is eager to introduce his proven model for franchise success to partners looking to make their mark on this lucrative industry in a Polite Plumbers van.
