Without our plumbers, tilers and hands-on workers, we’d all be at a loss that’s for sure.

These are people who help keep our buildings in good nick, while everyone else keeps the cogs running.

While people are growing older, the state pension age is increasing with an increase to 66 for both men and women by October 2020.  That’s a lot of years to go if your legs give out.
