A decorating company from Swansea has been recognised at the Painting and Decorating Association’s 2024 Premier Trophy Awards.
Whiterock Decorators Ltd was named winner of the New Build category at the PDA’s 35th awards luncheon held at Plaisterers’ Hall, London.
It’s a landmark year for the ceremony, which marks 35 years of flying the flag for excellence in the trade during the PDA’s 130th Anniversary year.
A decorating project at the newly built Enso student accommodation in Colchester ‘had excellent features with an unusual choice of colours that worked extremely well’ according to a panel of judges from the Institute for Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectorate (ICWCI), who assessed 88 entries overall.
Trophies were presented at a glittering ceremony held at Plaisterers’ Hall, London by PDA Chief Executive, Neil Ogilvie who was joined by Paul Coward, President of ICWCI and John Kourtoulos, UK & Ireland Sales Director at AkzoNobel, the main sponsor of the awards.
Mr Ogilvie said: “This is a landmark year both for the PDA and the Premier Trophy Awards so our very special congratulations go to the team at Whiterock.
“These awards fly the flag for excellence in our sector and reflect the hard work, skill and dedication to quality that is required to create a flawless finish.
“The winning projects across the seven categories demonstrate the highest standards our craft has to offer.”
The PDA is Britain’s largest trade body dedicated to the sector and celebrates its 130th anniversary this year.
