About
Gavin Kenrick - September 2020

In February 2017 I took over the Business from Dad. I have been fortunate to not only have a job that I love but have a Business that allows me to support my family and be present with my kids while I watch them grow up.

I look forward to what lays ahead in the Fixit-Right journey. I hope to one day pass on my knowledge to my two sons, the eldest already loves fixing things; after breaking them of course.

A little more about me

I left school and became a Registered Plumber by trade. While studying as an apprentice I also did roof tiling, roof plumbing and concreting. After plumbing for 10 years I realised it wasn’t an industry I enjoyed, for a number of reasons, so I went and worked regionally on a cattle station.

When I returned to Perth, I was plastering homes when I was poached by a Builder. I spent 6 years in construction building high end units and commercial premises. During a downturn I was made redundant, so I moved into decorative concrete, paving and landscaping.

From there the opportunity to join Dad came up and I have been loving the handyman Business ever since. It keeps everything fresh and exciting with a huge variety of work while also meeting some great people. Helping people is something I find extremely rewarding and it just so happens that I am bloody good at it.

Fingers crossed my boys will want to take up the tools when they’re older so we can keep the tradition going into a third generation!
