🎉 Celebrating 10 Years with Ben Hopkins 🎉

Next up we celebrate 10 years of Ben with the company.
Ben joined us as our very first apprentice, and over the last decade he has grown into an invaluable part of the team. From day one, his attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn have stood out. He set the benchmark for all the apprentices that followed.

Forward-thinking, constantly pushing himself to learn new skills, and 100% reliable — Ben embodies everything we value as a business. His commitment, professionalism and drive have helped shape not only his own career, but also the culture of our company.
Ben, thank you for your hard work, loyalty and dedication over the past 10 years. We’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved and excited for what the future holds.
Congratulations on this amazing milestone! 👏

Moving into our 11th year in business we are delighted to have some long service awards in 2026.

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone — 10 years with us for Keith.

Keith has been a true model employee from day one. His hard work, strong work ethic, passion for what he does, and precise leadership have made a huge impact to both the team and the business over the years.

He consistently leads by example, always giving 100%, and his dedication never goes unnoticed. We are extremely grateful for everything he has contributed throughout the last decade.

Thank you, Keith, for your loyalty, commitment, and outstanding work. Congratulations on 10 years — a truly well-deserved achievement! 👏

Thanks to JW Valeting & Detailing for a great job valeting some of our work vans again last week.
Great service — highly recommended!

Another great job from Skye Blasting Services. Removing all the previous coatings ensures a stable surface for new paint, and achieves an unrivalled level of preperation.

With such a variety of wallpapers available, you’re never quite sure what you’ll be working with until it’s in front of you. However, everything we’ve used from the Juliet Travers range has been of exceptional quality and performed exactly as a premium wall covering should. The ‘Birds of a Feather’ design has ensured this toilet will be a talking point.

Thanks to CPM Joinery & Building Ltd for instructing us to carry out the decoration works here. A lot happened in a short space of time and the results are amazing. A big lineup of products including The Little Greene Paint Company, Zoffany Fabrics and Wallpapers paint and House of Hackney wallpaper made sure the transformation was upto standard.

Our Washbox in use for the first time 🤩

is an eco-friendly system makes cleaning paint brushes and equipment smarter and greener. It recycles water, captures paint solids, and keeps harmful residues out of drains, helping us to protect the environment💧🌍♻️

Disclaimer: Shona has not yet received formal training in tool cleaning, any creative techniques are purely experimental 😄.

Tight timescales were fitting for the worlds narrowest hotel. A massive transformation in bringing the star bar back to life with a contemporary, modern refresh. It was great to be trusted with another major project at the The Famous Star Hotel Moffat and we are delighted with the results. Great beers, a wide range of spirits, multi screen sports and a jukebox....a small space packing a huge punch.
