WEDNESDAY 17/12 – place orders for paint tins by 12.30pm giving plenty of time in case of courier hold-ups or mishaps

MONDAY 22/12last orders by 12.30pm for next day courier deliveries. Contact the office to upgrade Royal Mail orders to courier delivery to get craft pack and sample tin orders in time

The factory and office will be CLOSED from 1pm on Tuesday 23/12 and re-opening on Monday 5/1/26 from 9am-5pm, although a CHRISTMAS ELF will be coming in on the morning of Monday 29/12 to get orders out for the couriers to deliver on Tuesday 30/12, and the morning of Friday 2/1/26 for delivery Monday 5/1/26 just in case you have any painting projects you want to get on with.

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT THIS YEAR 🎄
