I’ve often seen people win awards and have looked on in awe and wonder. Now I have one! 🙏🏼😱🥰
Last Friday I had the most wonderful experience. Not only was it a chance to put on a dress! But it was also the chance to meet and spend time with such wonderful people I’d never have had the chance to meet without this incredible opportunity. I was in incredible company with the other finalists - it’s humbling!
I play most things off with a smile and a joke but this has been a deeply emotional experience and one I feel deep gratitude for. To be entered by my wonderful Mentee Matthew of reminds me why mentorship and community matter.
I started learning this trade from my Dad and Grandad over 25 years ago, and to now be passing that knowledge and life experience forward and to be recognised by someone I’ve helped feels like things have come full circle.
This award is proof that dedication, craftsmanship, and kindness matter to this brand who have made the history of this industry and I’m truly grateful 🙏🏼
It’s also proof that even after decades in the trade, there are still new milestones, new joys, and new reasons to be proud of ourselves and make others the same.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this story as there are many of you who encourage me daily-it’s a joint team effort 🙏🏼
Here’s to many more years of doing what I love - helping others to flourish and prosper as Painters and Decorators.
