What an incredible few days! The National Painting and Decorating Show 2026 has officially come to a close, and we are still buzzing from the energy, the conversations, and the sheer talent we witnessed at the APCT stand.
Whether you dropped by to ask a quick question, explore our latest training initiatives, or just to say hello, thank you for taking the time to see us. Connecting with the painting and decorating community is exactly why we do what we do, and your passion for the craft keeps us inspired.
A Massive Thank You to Our Guest Demonstrators
Our stand truly came alive this year, and we owe a massive debt of gratitude to our brilliant live demonstrators who kept the crowds captivated.
South and City College Birmingham
A huge thank you to the fantastic team and talented students from South and City College Birmingham.
Your dedication to nurturing the next generation of decorators is inspiring, and the skills on display at our stand by the students were a testament to your passion for the trade.
A massive shout out to Stewart for sharing his expertise and masterclass-level techniques. Watching a true master at work is always a highlight, and the crowd’s reaction spoke volumes. Thank you for giving your time, energy, and wisdom to make our stand the place to be!
Moving the Industry Forward, Together
The P&D Show is always a fantastic reminder of how tight-knit, innovative, and supportive this industry is. We loved hearing your feedback, sharing our vision for upcoming training and development, and discussing how we can continue to support decorators across the country.
