Khadija and Odari Head, the dynamic siblings behind Head's Plumbing Sales and Service, Inc., have continued the legacy of their family’s business, making it the oldest and most experienced Black-owned plumbing company in the state of Georgia.
Founded by their grandfather in the 1950s, the company began as a small operation, focused on providing reliable plumbing services to the local Black community. Today, under the leadership of Khadija and Odari, their Atlanta-based company has grown into a powerhouse in the industry, known not only for its quality work but also for its commitment to community empowerment.
Khadija, the older of the two, took on the role of CEO with a clear vision of modernizing the company while maintaining the values instilled by their grandfather. With a background in business administration and as a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), she brought in new technologies and streamlined operations, ensuring that the company remained competitive in an evolving market.
Her leadership has been pivotal in securing large contracts with both residential and commercial clients, expanding their reach beyond Georgia’s borders. Odari, on the other hand, is the hands-on expert who oversees the technical side of the business.
As the Vice President and a master plumber by trade, Odari has spent years perfecting his craft and mentoring the next generation of plumbers within the company. His deep knowledge of the industry and dedication to high standards have helped maintain the impeccable reputation that Head's Plumbing is known for.
He’s also been instrumental in establishing partnerships with vocational schools, offering apprenticeships to young people interested in plumbing careers. During a recent podcast, Khadija and Odari discuss how they have together not only grown the business but have also made significant contributions to their community.
They regularly host workshops and training sessions aimed at teaching essential plumbing skills to underprivileged youth, providing them with opportunities to build sustainable careers. The siblings believe strongly in giving back and are committed to using their platform to uplift others, just as their grandfather did decades ago.
The success of Head's Plumbing Sales and Service, Inc. is a testament to the siblings’ dedication and hard work. Their ability to adapt to the changing times while preserving the core values of their family business has allowed them to thrive in an industry that is often dominated by larger, less personal companies.
Khadija’s strategic mind and Odari’s technical expertise create a perfect balance that has led to continued growth and success. Looking to the future, Khadija and Odari have ambitious plans for Head's Plumbing.
They are exploring opportunities to expand their services into new regions, all while ensuring that the company remains deeply rooted in the community that has supported them for so many years. With their leadership, Head's Plumbing Sales and Service, Inc. is poised to remain a staple in Georgia’s plumbing industry for generations to come.
