PHCPPros, a trusted name with more than 30 years' experience covering the plumbing, heating, cooling and piping industry, is proud to announce Watts Water Technologies, along with its brands AERCO International and Bradley Corp., as a Vanguard Sponsor of its new initiative, PROS REPS RUGGED Mind and Body. 

“We are thrilled that Watts — a company that has already dedicated itself to the wellbeing of others for 150 years by making water safer and more accessible — is joining us in our mission to improve the mental health and wellness of tradespeople,” said PHCPPros Principal Cate Brown. 

Filling the second of three exclusive Vanguard Sponsor spots, the support of Watts, AERCO and Bradley will help PROS REPS RUGGED meet its actionable goals to create, educate and advocate through various digital pathways, in-person events and a quarterly print magazine. 

“Mental health is the cornerstone of a resilient workforce,” said Michael Gaulin, director, marketing communications – Watts Water Technologies. “In construction, taking care of your mind is as important as taking care of your tools. Often the mental health of our construction industry workers is overlooked, but studies have shown that it is a serious issue. Watts is proud to partner with PHCPros on their RUGGED initiative to bring awareness to this issue and provide solutions to those who may need more assistance.”
