Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Puretec: New Zealand and Australia's leading water filtration specialist and JBP's strategic product partner for filtration installations. Puretec's product line and dealer program are key enablers of JBP's higher-margin add-on product revenue.
• Fergus: Trade service management software used by Jason Brown Plumbing for booking, scheduling, and customer management. Fergus is widely adopted across NZ trade contractors and is a relevant ecosystem peer for software-enabled operational scaling.
• Rinnai New Zealand: Manufacturer of hot water systems, including the heat pumps Jason Brown Plumbing installs. As a core OEM partner, Rinnai's product roadmap, warranty terms, and channel support directly shape JBP's economics on the heat pump upgrade revenue line.
• Master Plumbers New Zealand: National industry association that provides the Master Plumbers Guarantee, certifications, and awards (including Master Plumber of the Year). Sets the regulatory and reputational framework under which JBP and its competitors operate.

Broad incumbents

• Roto-Rooter: Largest global plumbing and drain services franchise, offering residential and commercial plumbing, drain cleaning, and emergency services. Comparable service mix and emergency response focus; much larger scale and brand spend.
• Plumbing World: New Zealand's largest plumbing supplies retailer serving both trade and DIY customers. Sits upstream in the value chain rather than as a direct services competitor, but is part of the same NZ plumbing ecosystem and influences trade pricing and product availability.
• Benjamin Franklin Plumbing: US-based plumbing services franchise focused on residential plumbing, drain, and emergency work with strong emphasis on punctuality and guarantees. Comparable brand-led, customer-service-oriented positioning, though operating in a different geography.
• ServiceMaster Restore: Multi-trade home services brand with restoration and plumbing-related offerings at national scale. Comparable in addressing urgent household infrastructure problems, but serves a much wider service portfolio and customer base.
• Mr. Rooter Plumbing: International plumbing franchise providing residential and commercial plumbing, drain, and gas-related services. Same broad service categories and customer profile as Jason Brown Plumbing, but operating at franchise scale across multiple geographies.

Direct peers

• Laser Plumbing New Zealand: National plumbing, gasfitting, and drainage franchise network across New Zealand offering very similar residential and commercial services. Operates in overlapping trade categories and customer segments, and is the most direct competitive comparable given brand-led, multi-trade, locally-delivered model.
