The 2023 Plumbing and Gas Industry Awards will be attended and entertained by some very special guests.
Ben ‘Dobbo’ Dobbin
Media Personality, Host, MC ‘Dobbo’ is one of a kind.
All his life, he’s been entertaining his mates – without even knowing it. It was only when the big butcher was thrust onto live TV, to raise money for the Queensland floods, that the rest of Australia got to laugh along too. Millions were watching the flood telethon and Dobbo stole the show. Leila McKinnon was in stitches and exclaimed – ‘A star is born! A star has been born tonight in Condamine!’ and Karl Stefanovic chipped in with ‘Twitter is going nuts..’ Dobbo is in high demand and has loads of mates that are plumbers!
