About the Business
After leaving school at 16, Colin Fuller spent one year at College studying building construction, served a five year apprenticeship with the then, biggest jobbing firm in East Anglia, C. & J. Haileys Ltd., moved to a large Central Heating firm in Norwich for twelve months before starting in business as 'East Coast Heating & Plumbing Svcs'. In 1968 with a partner, who left several years later. Amongst other projects around the town building the Sizewell A Nuclear power station was under way then and there seemed to be full employment and prosperity in Lowestoft.
Lots of business at that time was grant work with several local builders. Plumbing in new bathrooms built on to many terraced houses with just an electric water heated cylinder. People started to want Central Heating and the system of the day was an Inset solid fuel boiler, probably in a mock Tudor stone fireplace.
