Not Dead Yet Ep. 10: Steve Murray, CPI Plumbing & Heating & Bill Gray, Uponor

Send us a Text Message.

The boys head to the Great Northwest to talk with Steve Murray, a 35-year industry veteran, who discusses why his employer, CPI Plumbing & Heating, has chosen to invest heavily in developing the tech skills of local high school grads, working with various vendors and suppliers to create a 2,500-sq.-ft. learning facility from scratch. Part of the success of the Training Lab came in the form of a sizable donation of hydronic equipment from Uponor.  Bill Gray, president of Uponor North America, talks about the investment made in the skilled tradesman, and both talk about the importance of industry training. Steve and Bill talk about the industry, their intros into it, COVID-19 and the short-term economic "forecrap," uh, a new term inadvertently coined during the conversation. More info on the training lab can be found on www.mechanical-hub.com.
