This event, run in collaboration with Fiona Robertson at Crown Paints, was held at our Paisley campus and provided the opportunity for Painting & Decorating students to boost their CPD, network with industry professionals and browse a range of products from local companies who operate within the sector. Building on the success of last year’s Suppliers Event was important to the team, and this year’s was bigger, bolder and better-attended.  

Nicola Murray, Head of Sector for Construction and Building Services, says: 

“We were delighted with the turnout and the feedback received on the day. It is important for us to have strong relationships with local companies, as well as other colleges and their students, and to be able to link them with our students has proved invaluable and mutually beneficial for all.” 

We would like to thank the team at Crown Paints Paisley and we look forward to continuing to work with them in the coming years.
