The Palmer family's involvement in the business arena has been traced back to Andrew Palmer who ran a plumbing business in Northern Ireland in the early 1830's.
His son, James Henry Palmer, an accountant arrived in Australia in 1943. He spent his early years on the gold fields at Ballarat, establish a plumbing and gasfitting business in Moray Street, South Melbourne in 1875.
William Palmer, the youngest of James' six children joined the family business while in Sth. Melbourne. William Palmer was instrumental in the introduction of the dewerage system to South Melbourneand held the position of Chairman of the Public Works Committee. In 1894 he succeeded Ex-Mayor Cn. Thistlewaite to represent Fawkner Ward, South Melbourne.
In 1902 William left Australia aboard the "Seuvic" to re-establish the Plumbing Gas Fitting business in Johannesburg, South Africa. While in South Africa he married Annie Aird Ross-Roy, the daughter of Donald Ross-Roy, a local South Africal builder and decendent of Rob Roy the Scottish highlander.
In 1905 the business was re-established at Bahia Blanca, Argentinia with a branch office in Mendoza.
In 1908 they returned to Newcastle (NSW) and in 1913 they moved to Dalby (Qld). Here William became Mayor and re-established the plumbing business under the name "Downs Plumbing and Manufacturing Company".
Due to the need to find education and advancement for his eight children, William moved the family to Brisbane and re-established the business in the old Brewery building at Montague Rd., West End during 1924.
At war's end Lloyd Palmer, the youngest of William's eight children joined the business.
Lloyd Palmer and his wife Iris took over the company in 1947 and were responsible for the expansion of the manufacturing activities of the business from the production of rainwater goods for the plumbing industry to being a well recognized Sheet Metal Manufacturing Facility. Palm Plumbing Works was a founding member of Australian Industry Group.
Wayne Palmer, Lloyd's only son and his wife Noelene joined the company during 1968 to become the 5th generation of the family to continue the business. Wayne and Noelene have been responsible for the introduction of Mechanical Engineering into the business and the expansion of the sheet metal manufacturing facilities to include metal fabrication and engineering.
The Company product brand name JUDEKEE (jew-de-key) is derived from the names of Wayne and Noelene's three daughters... JUlie-Anne, DEbbie and KEEta.
Althought there are no sons to carry on the family name into it's sixth generation, we can trust that the "Professionalism and Quality" associated with our product brand name will continue the family name into generations to come.
