Mary Jean Anderson really likes pink. As the owner of El Cajon, Calif.-based Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air, she applies the bright hue to her company’s website, her technicians’ vans, and even the disposable shoe covers her technicians wear when they enter customers’ homes.
As a female-owned HVAC and plumbing business, the pink accents, Anderson said, help the company stand apart from other contractors. In a male-dominated industry, Anderson said her female-led cast has granted her numerous advantages.
