Mark Raymond
Managing Director
The founder of Raymond Plumbing, Mark Raymond, had a very early start in the plumbing industry. Born in South Australia in 1971, Mark attended the Goodwood Technical High School – a trade school – at age 12. The trade experience he gained every day at this school kick-started his love of plumbing and gasfitting.
Mark joined the military at age 17 and during his service, he completed a plumbing and gasfitting apprenticeship. He also helped build the RAAF base in Scherger, worked on the Range control building in Singleton and also completed Facilities Management in Canberra for the Chief Engineer Office at Duntroon Army Barracks.
After leaving the military, Mark moved to Cairns and began working as a maintenance plumber. 12 years ago, he decided to start his own plumbing business. Ever since, Raymond Plumbing has flourished and Mark is thrilled to be doing what he loves to do, every single day!
On his days off, Mark enjoys bushwalking, running, bird watching, astronomy and rock collecting. He has a deep love of learning, so continuously pursues activities like learning new languages (he speaks Arabic and Spanish), acting classes and he is also involved in his local Business Network International group.

Fiona gained extensive experience in the service industry around Cairns, predominately in the security sector, before we had the great pleasure of recruiting her to the Raymond Plumbing team. Prior to working with trade companies, Fiona also excelled in various roles with Real Estate Agencies and as a Personal Assistant at a Government Agency whilst living and working in England for several years. This vast experience has given her an amazing grasp on understanding what every customer wants and needs – she’s our customer service guru! Outside of work, Fiona loves travelling, music and interior design.
