I had no intention of following my father into the painting & decorating profession and left school for an office job.....

….. One redundancy and a couple of office jobs later, I joined my father at a local building firm and learnt the skills of the decorator from a City & Guilds Craftsman.

After a couple of years I became self employed and now work on a variety of projects for individual home owners, landlords and commercial businesses, occasionally sub-contracting to builders.
