Portfolio of work wins painter customers and national title

AN AWARD-WINNING painter and decorator has secured more work since being crowned with a national title. Neil Bailey, of Oxfordshire-based Neil Bailey Decorating, won the Small Contractor Award at the Painting and Decorating Association’s Premier Trophy Awards last year. Using Crown Trade products to transform a living room in a Grade 2 listed farm house, Neil Bailey impressed the judges with his top-quality approach. Neil Bailey said: “I’ve been entering the Small Contractor category for seven years but never won the competition. I felt that Milton Farm was a special project and stood a good chance of winning.
