Contact the PDA Team

I have been leading one of the largest UK trade associations, Est 1894, since 2009. I am the PDA representative at BUILD UK and a UK board representative of UNIEP (International Association of Painting Contractors). I have close working relationships with various departments within the Government and Cabinet Office, which helps me raise the profile of our sector in the UK and Europe. I have also been working with other organisations on a joint approach to sustainability/environmental issues surrounding the NetZero 50 challenge. I value the inter-professional networking I part-take in with other Trade Associations/Federations. I have many collaborative partnerships with over 50 Associate Partners, this includes maintaining relationships with many high-profile manufacturers in our sector.

On a day to day basis, I manage a team of five at PDA HQ, which includes, resources and financial management, strategic planning and communication and marketing. I also have a hand in enhancing Member benefits and services and event management, this includes, working alongside Colleges and providing training to promote and encourage Apprentice growth.

I’ve been with the Painting and Decorating Association since 1994 and look after all things membership — from supporting our members to welcoming new ones. Over the years I’ve built an excellent knowledge of the Association and developed strong relationships with members, which is something I really value.

I’m committed to making membership as rewarding as possible, always looking for ways to improve retention and recruitment. Working together with colleagues and members, I’ve been proud to see these efforts consistently lead to successful results.

If you’d like to chat about any aspect of membership, just give me a call or drop me an email using the details below — I’ll be happy to help.
