Meet the Team: Lee Haggerty

This week, we’re putting the spotlight on one of our talented team members who keeps the wheels turning (and the pipes flowing) at GMS — say hello to Lee Haggerty!

Lee joined GMS just over a year ago and has been a key part of our plumbing team ever since.

As one of our skilled plumbers, Lee focuses on carrying out remedial works. Whether it’s fixing faults or making essential improvements, Lee’s the guy ensuring everything is back up and running safely and efficiently.

For Lee, it’s all about the people. “Working with the people that I do makes the job so much easier,” he says — a true testament to the camaraderie and positive culture we’re proud to have here.

Lee gives a big shout-out to the entire plumbing team. “We work together quite a bit and learn different things from each other.” It’s great to see the spirit of collaboration and continual learning alive and well.

Ask Lee and he’ll tell you — working with Ste and Owen guarantees a good laugh most days. We’ll leave the rest to your imagination!

When he’s not on the tools, Lee’s on the pitch. He refereed the Women’s League 2 Grand Final last year at Featherstone Rovers — a huge honour — and is currently the captain of the Manchester Worker Bees Over 37s heading into the Try Tag Rugby Nationals this May. Talk about teamwork on and off the field!

How Passing TMVs Drive Legionella and Biofilm Formation

Passing TMVs create the exact conditions Legionella bacteria thrive in. The combined effects include: Once temperature control is lost, biofilm rapidly develops on internal pipe surfaces. Biofilm acts as: As biofilm thickens, it further restricts flow, worsening stagnation and creating a self-reinforcing cycle that accelerates colonisation. In many investigations of persistent Legionella positives, passing TMVs… Read more »
