Because preparation is everything
When it comes to superb
paint finishes we are all very familiar with the age old saying.. “preparation is everything”.
With this in mind, the team at Soudal has launched Gorilla
Pro Gaps Multipurpose, ensuring that no matter what surface, environment or task
the customer is dealing with, they will be able to find a Gorilla solution. All-new Gorilla Pro Gaps Multipurpose delivers superior flexibility, low shrinkage, is super smooth finishing and can be painted once cured.

All just about to complete or having completed their three- year BCITO painting and decorating apprenticeship, these young tradies were singled out after judges visited properties to check out their portfolio of work, talked to employers and customers about their skills, expertise and aspirations, and completed a general knowledge quiz about decorating.
With young women making up three of the four competitors, it’s noteworthy that BCITO says currently 18% of its painting and decorating apprentices are female compared with just 3%
a few years ago and that painting and decorating is the most popular trade for women.
This year the Master Painters competition attracted 160 entries – the most in the contest’s history.
