Smashing Plumber for your Pimlico Flat Leak

If you have a leak in your Pimlico Flats home all you need to do is call or e-mail our maintenance service and it will be fixed the same day. Other landlord’s tenants do not always have the same onsite service, but if their landlord calls Pimlico Plumbers they may have their leak fixed by Olympics hopeful Ruth Raper.

Ruth was quoted in The Sun “It’s funny seeing people’s reactions when I tell them I am a boxer and a plumber. Blokes don’t believe me when I tell them. They think it is a wind-up. They think it’s all a bit weird.” I think Ruth will be getting used to fame by now. A question in my mind is whether The Sun chose to do an article about Ruth because she is a great plumber, a great boxer, or a very pretty girl?

Whatever motivated The Sun, lets compliment Pimlico Plumbers on their sponsorship of Lynn AC Boxing Club who train Ruth. They are Britain’s oldest continuing amateur boxing club, founded in 1892 in a café in London’s Borough high street. Danny Williams, best known as the man who knocked out Mike Tyson in four rounds, is one of the most well-known boxers to emerge from the club. He became British Heavy Weight Champion in 2000 and maintained his title until 2004. He later regained his British title in 2007 and defended it until May 2009.

London 2012 will be the first Olympic Games to feature women’s boxing, and Ruth has already been named in the provisional Team GB of seven women boxers and is expected to a main contender to take one of the three available positions to compete at the games. Ruth competes at 60kg lightweight division, she’s been boxing since the age of 14 and to boost her chances for selection for Team GB Ruth will split her time between a boxing training camp in Sheffield and her apprenticeship training with Pimlico Plumbers in London. Ruth will now spend four days a week at the Sheffield Camp and three days working at Pimlico. While in London, Ruth will train in the evenings at the Lynn AC Boxing Club in Camberwell.

Good luck Ruth, and well done Charlie Mullins for training an Olympic Athlete and a Plumber – Pimlico needs both!
