A Wealth of Experience

Our company was originally formed in Chorley in 1993 by Stephen Smith and Glynn Baker. Stephen has 30 years experience in the trade as a retailer, and Glynn has many years experience as a decorating contractor, undertaking large projects such as hotels, factories and licensed premises.

Between them they have the experience to resolve most queries!

We opened our Preston store in 1997, which enabled us to carry larger volumes and an enlarged range of products.

Our associate store in Salford, Manchester opened in 2001, again by Stephen and Glynn Baker along with Geoff Mannion, a long time colleague within the decorating industry.
