The boss is on the tools, not behind a desk.

“The backbone, the boss, and the bloke who never stops.”How the Woodward Facebook page introduced Mick, November 2025

Michael Woodward, Mick on the Facebook page, runs Woodward Plumbing and Gas. Reviewers mostly call him Michael, and two of them, on different jobs, wrote the same words: Michael is a family man. Chris Kirkman lives in Brisbane and needed someone he could trust at his mother’s place after the Townsville floods. Michael was already busy but made the time.

“Post Townsville floods I needed an emergency assessment of my (elderly) mothers place, I live in Brissie so needed someone I could trust. Michael is a family man and understood my urgency and concern. He was already busy but made the time and I couldn’t be happier with the service. If you believe in good old fashioned service and want someone who does go the extra mile, give Michael and the team a call. You won’t regret it.”
