How everything began

It all began back in my childhood. I always enjoyed the time I spent on projects my uncle George was working on. Every time he needed a little help from me it always made my day. He was a wallpaper and furniture restoration specialist. Thanks to his unique painting and decorating skills, George has become a famous master craftsman in my hometown.

Getting the right start and being fortunate enough to have had such a good teacher as my uncle created the foundation for my being a good tradesman. As time went on, I became a more valuable helping hand. He has shaped up my paintbrush skills and taught me a lot about the traditional approach to decorating. When the time came for me to decide what to study, I chose Business under my parents’ influence.

However, after finishing my studies at the Business Academy and changing jobs a few times, my circumstances coincidentally got me into painting and decorating again. Since then, I have worked on a variety of jobs – both independently and for construction companies – where I was contracted to work on large commercial sites and public buildings, such as London Transport Museum, the O2 Arena, Wembley Stadium and Darwin Centrum, and many more.

I have now been painting and decorating for almost 20 years. While working for different companies, I undertook various professional training courses, achieving my City & Guilds NVQ qualification. I worked at Wembley Stadium for almost four years, progressing to supervising a team of 25 painters and decorators.

In 2005, I became self-employed. I liked the freedom of choosing and accepting the jobs I wanted to do. My ambitions to become my own boss brought me to the conclusion of setting up an independent business. Therefore – following in my uncle’s footsteps – in 2011, I established RD Traditional Decorating.
