The trade’s top apprentices will be strutting their stuff at this year’s P&D Show in an exciting demonstration of decorative and broken colour paint techniques.

The Interactive Decorative Skills Hub hosted by the Association of Painting Craft Teachers is a first for the national exhibition , providing trainees with the opportunity to show just what standards are necessary to achieve national curriculum level qualifications.

The work of the apprentices – all employees of leading P&D contractor Bagnalls – will be interactive, too! Visitors will be invited to have a crack at the various decorative effects – all under the watchful eye of our young trainees!
