Craig Brooks Painting & Decorating

I started my decorating career 14 years ago and completed an apprenticeship in 2002 through Swindon college, where I was award apprentice of the year

I am a City and Guilds qualified, with a wide range of experience, an excellent reputation and a long list of satisfied clients.

I decided to set up my business as I've always wanted to work for myself in an industry that improves peoples everyday environments. I also wasn't happy with the quality of work put out by other traders.

I have completed projects in the past including for the local radio/newspaper's Christmas wish appeal, where I volunteered to redecorate someones hallway, as they'd had a tough year.

Last year I was short listed for the Nectar business tradesperson of the year.
