Say ‘Hi’ to Luke
I’m Luke one of the two directors here at GreenSmart service.
Since starting GreenSmart services back in October 2020, my main focus and goal has been to grow the business and make it one of the top plumbing, heating and gas companies in and around Bath, with customer satisfaction at the heart of it all.
At GreenSmart we want to create a warm and welcoming environment for all of our employes, the team we have and continue to build is key to offering a great all-round experience for the customer.
I was born in Bath but have lived in Chippenham for most of my life, it’s a great area with lots of natural beauty around such as Castle Combe and Lacock – where I enjoy lots of walks with my dog, Norma. My main sport has always been football, to which I played at a relatively high standard up until about 22. One of my other hobbies is being better at skiing than Damian (the other director)- I really love that one! Between GreenSmart and a home renovation that my wife and I have undertaken, a lot of my free time is consumed. However, in my free time I enjoy spending weekends with both sides of the family relaxing, socialising and exploring local walks.
What were you doing before you joined GreenSmart Services?
I have been part of the construction industry since I was 16 years old, when I started as an apprentice. I worked with another plumbing and heating company for 12 years, taking a 2-year break to go travelling and even doing plumbing work in Australia. Before my apprenticeship I worked for my dad cleaning lorries and I worked in a kitchen in a local village.
Your career with GreenSmart to date
Since being a director of GreenSmart my role has grown and adapted – it has often been a steep but rewarding learning curve. Over the past 2 years it has taken on many changes from working with customers and building relationship’s, to where I am now, taking on more of a training role for apprentices coming through GreenSmart. This is a role I find very rewarding as I can support young people to grasp and develop their knowledge of the plumbing industry. It is fulfilling to see that your teaching enables others to apply what they have learnt to real scenarios and to see them grow into skilled individuals.
What’s your favourite thing about working for GreenSmart Services?
It has to be the GreenSmart team! Having people around that you can work well with and enjoy each other’s company whilst providing high quality work. Another massive favourite of mine is standing back, looking at completed jobs for clients and seeing how happy they are, having a positive impact on people homes leaves us all with a great sense of accomplishment.
