Shoaib Awan (The Gas Expert): Tool Theft & Flying Lessons | S2 E2
Description
Gas engineer Shoaib Awan, better known as The Gas Expert, joins Keiran Yates and Pete Withers for Season 2, Episode 2 of Off The Job: A Tradesman Podcast.
A boiler quote in Reading takes an unexpected turn when the customer offers to fly Shoaib there. He explains how the trip led to flying lessons, while the hosts need considerably more convincing. Apparently, the van was too straightforward.
In this episode:
- How a gas leak at home sparked a move from drinks wholesaling into gas engineering.
- Creative installations, drawing and finding his own style.
- Learning the trade beyond the classroom.
- His 2024 tool theft campaign and the disruption stolen tools cause working tradespeople.
