Made by Tradies for Tradies: from plumbing to pioneering.
We know what it takes to run a successful trades business. Our founder, Max Semmons-Russell, started a plumbing company six years ago and has been plumbing for over 20 years. His vast experience and relentless passion for the trade are the driving forces behind Green Light Escrow.
Max's journey wasn't without its challenges. After not getting paid for several projects, he realized a need for a secure payment system that would protect both tradespeople and homeowners. In 2021, fueled by his vision and determination, Max embarked on an ambitious adventure to bring Green Light Escrow to life.
With all the money from his thriving plumbing company, KPA Plumbing Ltd, along with support from friends, family, and a cadre of advisors, Max launched Green Light Escrow in late 2023. This innovative solution quickly gained traction, empowering tradespeople and homeowners across the country.
Maxwell Semmons-Russell's unwavering dedication to his craft and his commitment to solving industry problems have turned Green Light Escrow into a beacon of trust and reliability. As Green Light Escrow continues to grow in popularity, it stands as a testament to Max's vision and the enduring spirit of the trades community.
When you quote for your next renovation, deck, fence, re-roof, hot water cylinder, heat pump, or painting job, it should be through Green Light Escrow. Not only does this ensure you get paid, but it also gives you an edge over the competition.
We have seen tradespeople winning jobs over their competitors simply because clients feel much more comfortable paying deposits and milestone payments into Green Light Escrow, rather than handing over cash directly. This level of security and trust can be the deciding factor that sets you apart and helps you secure more projects.
