Leadership (Jamie Holden)

Founder & Director – Holden Plumbing Services Ltd

Jamie Holden is the Founder and Director of Holden Plumbing Services Ltd, bringing over 22 years of continuous experience within the plumbing and construction industry.

His career began as an apprentice and has progressed through every level of the trade and site environment — from hands-on installation through to site supervision, package management, and leadership of fully tendered commercial plumbing packages.

Jamie’s background is not theoretical. It is built on decades of practical, on-site delivery across residential, commercial, and large-scale developments.

A Career Built from the Ground Up

Over the course of his career, Jamie has worked across every major discipline of plumbing and building services, including:

  • Underground drainage and drainage unblocking

  • Groundworks, incoming mains, meters, and infrastructure installations

  • Shell & core developments

  • First-fix and second-fix plumbing

  • HDPE drainage stacks and butt-welded systems

  • HIU installations and commissioning

  • Copper, low-carbon steel, plastic, composite, press-fit, welded, and specialist pipe systems

Having worked with virtually every major pipe material and system introduced over the last two decades, Jamie has consistently remained ahead of industry developments.

As regulations, materials, and installation standards evolve, so too does his knowledge — ensuring every project is delivered in line with current best practice and compliance requirements.

Leadership Approach

Jamie specialises in delivering fully tendered plumbing packages where clients require confidence, ownership, and accountability.

 

His approach is direct and structured:

He does not simply supply labour — he drives the job, removes pressure from client teams, and ensures delivery aligns with quality, compliance, and programme expectations.

The end result is a handover that is properly tested, certified, documented, and completed to a professional standard.

A Director Who Understands Every Level

What sets Jamie apart is his ability to understand both the detail on the tools and the responsibility at management level. From apprentice to Level 6 construction management, his experience bridges the gap between trade knowledge and executive responsibility, ensuring every project benefits from leadership grounded in real-world delivery.

Off-Site Prefabrication Capability

Jamie leads the company’s off-site prefabrication operations, operating from a six-acre yard that enables efficient, safe, and cost-effective system fabrication before delivery to site.

Prefabrication capabilities include:

All prefabricated works are fully tested and supplied with certification prior to delivery — reducing on-site labour hours, improving quality control, and strengthening programme certainty.
