Lee's Plumbing, established in 2000 and based in Hyde Park, Utah, has built a commendable reputation for its exceptional customer service and reliability. Owner Lee Draper will continue to head the company, ensuring the continuity of operations under the well-known Lee's Plumbing brand.

AHG provides competitive benefits programs, the ability to be a shareholder, and greater opportunities for advancement for all employees.” This assurance of job security and opportunities for growth is likely to boost morale and productivity among Lee's Plumbing employees.
The Any Hour Group has continued to push forward in its mission to be the partner of choice in the trades sector, focusing on high-quality customer service and development of top talent in the industry.
