PPG Visit to Painting & Decorating

On Thursday 25th January 2018 the Painting & Decorating team had a visit from PPG, who is one of the largest paint coatings companies in the world.

The Full time Level 3 students and the apprentices had a talk delivered by James and Jim about their products from the Leyland and Johnstones range. They also discussed progression within the industry and the benefits of the different finishings and coatings.

Afterwards the students took part in a competition that challenged their cutting in skills. The entrants were timed and the most accurate creation was judged by the tutorial team.

Sam Leak was deemed to be the overall winner and was presented with a tool kit by PPG for his efforts. He was also invited to apply to take part in the Johnstones Young Painter of the Year competition. Well done Sam!

Thanks to James and Jim for visiting and orchestrating such a great event.
