About Me...I've over 30yrs in the Decorating trade working in the family business (set up by my father in 1965 - who's still working today and his apprentice who started with him at the age of 15 in 1966 is also still working for us too).I've served a proper apprenticeship (with papers) from leaving school in 1990, being one of the last to gain City & Guilds before it moved over to NVQ.I passed Advanced C&G in 1994 with two distinctions and one credit. One of the awards I won while at college was winning the BDA Cup (British Decorators Association) for high standards in practical work. Then I went on to do C&G 1+2 in teacher trainer where I then taught P&D and co lectured on the decorative paint effects evening course (Marbling, Graining, broken colour work) for the next 3yrs at Basford Hall College in Nottingham (UK).... the rest is history.
