Service with Style The Gentlemen Pros Celebrate 20 Years By Nerissa McNaughton
T
he Gentlemen Pros are your one-stop source for all your home’s plumbing and heating needs. The name, “gentlemen” is incredibly deliberate. You can count on every interaction, from the call centre where a real person picks up the phone to the technician that arrives at your home, to act with professionalism and integrity. Brham Trim founded The Gentlemen Pros in 2001; but, although his father and grandfather were both plumbers, he had no intention to following the trade. At least, not at first. “At a young age my dad would wake me up and say, hey we are going to work! Aw, dad… do I have to?” Trim reminisces. “While my friends played, I worked. Looking back now, however, I am grateful for what he taught me. At the time, though, when I got out of school I decided to pursue dentistry.” A few years into his dentistry studies, Trim felt something was off. “I realized dentistry just wasn’t for me. It wasn’t feeding my drive or passion. I shared that with my dad and he said, why not open a plumbing company? I said I never got indentured or signed up in the trades, but dad reminded me that I already had the hours necessary. All those times working with him counted. He encouraged me to challenge the journeyman test.”
The Gentlemen Pros’ fearless leader and president, Brham Trim and general manager, Trevor Greenwood.
At that time Trim was 22 and newly married. He discussed it with his wife, and they decided to give it a go.
