Polyvine are proud to support Brewers Decorator Academy and were delighted to attend the grand opening of the 2nd Academy, located in Guildford.  With coffee and pastries to start the day, we were then treated to a talk from the Brewer family, as well as Tristan, the Brewers Learning & Development manager.  We were then allowed access to view the brand new academy and facilities in all their glory, headed up by the very talented Karen Wyatt.

Professional painters and decorators deserve access to high-quality training and development that helps them stay ahead in their trade. The Brewers Decorator Academy delivers exactly that.

As the UK’s largest independent decorators’ merchant, with a comprehensive multi-brand product offering, Brewers provides professional training courses designed to help decorators expand their knowledge, refine their skills, and keep up to date with the latest products, techniques, and industry best practices.

Polyvine are pleased to support the academy, and encourage tradespeople to use it to expand on their current skills, and who knows, maybe you’ll be using some Polyvine at some point along the way as well…
