Bury, Greater Manchester (PRWEB UK) 6 February 2015
Decor8 Northern - decorators merchants in Bury and Manchester - is celebrating 30 years in business this year.
The company has enjoyed three decades of growth, supplying many different customer groups including painters and decorators, painting contractors, local authorities, hotels, property developers, breweries, factories of all types and of course the general public. From its inception in 1985 the main driver for the growth and direction of the company has been to deliver quality products at affordable prices. The directors and staff are continually exploring new, leading technologies from around Europe for the British market and to deliver such cutting edge, innovative products in a professional and reliable manner.
Over that time the company has continually adapted to stay ahead of changes in the market and technology. For many years it has been a very successful online trader promoting and selling many leading international brands and innovative products, including Properla, the latest advanced energy-saving wallcoating product range from Germany.
Decor8 Northern has today marked its 30th anniversary by launching its latest ecommerce site. The new Decor8 Northern Online Store (http://store.decor8northern.co.uk) is now open for business. The site aims to offer the convenience of online buying across the full range of essential trade products for decorators. The store stocks paint, woodstains, workwear, paint brushes, paint rollers, cage frames, extension poles, pasting tables, dust sheets, masking tapes, lining papers, textured papers, pastes and adhesives, abrasives, pasting tables, decorators' tools, and cleaning products. All the major brands are carried, including Dulux Trade, Armstead Trade, Johnstones Trade, Leyland, Crown Trade, Macphersons, Purdy, Corona, Brushmate, Everbuild, Liberon, Sadolin, Rustoleum, Properla, Sandtex, Sikkens, Solvite, Snickers, Ecocoat, Hamilton Acorn, and Frogtape.
According to Decor8 Northern managing director Gary Thompson: "We are excited to be launching this new ecommerce website for decorators. Our new store will enable current and new customers to obtain the full range of decorators' essentials at highly competitive Internet prices and with next day delivery."
The company recognises the need to stand out from the crowd and to offer customers something distinctive. So, the Decor8 Northern Online Store will run monthly promotions for many paint lines and decorating accessories enabling customers to benefit from hugely discounted prices. The company plans also to introduce new products to the market from Germany and the United States so that customers will be able to benefit from the latest decorating technologies available anywhere in the market.
Says Gary Thompson: "Of course, we want our customers to gain competitive advantage from having access to the best possible prices on their materials and equipment. But, just as importantly, we want them to be able to offer and use the latest products, innovations, and technologies available so that they can operate more efficiently than their competitors. Using the best products means you can deliver work more quickly, at lower cost, and to the highest standard, meaning more business, greater customer satisfaction, and higher margins."
Another distinctive characteristic of this new online store is that it encourages customers to recommend friends and colleagues to visit the site and to reward them for doing so. Currently, the site is offering a 20 M&S voucher for referring a new customer.
A further innovation is the Decor8 Northern Essentials Club. By joining the Essentials Club, customers will be notified of the best "when-they're-gone-they're-gone" limited-release deals first, giving them a chance to snap up the opportunities while stocks last.

North West decorators merchant celebrates 30 years in business and launches new online store
(PRWEB) February 03, 2015
Ian Gregory understands the frustration of trying to get someone to paint your home. Hes been through the struggle of getting painters to call you back, give you a detailed quote and fit the painting into your schedule. Now hes looking forward to providing a better experience through his new small business, Fresh Coat Painters of Oviedo and Windermere.
Fresh Coat Painters of Oviedo and Windermere offers residential and commercial painting services including interior and exterior painting, wood staining and finishing, and other services for nearly every protective coating application. They use quality, environmentally safe materials and offer a 24/7 customer service center, online scheduling, in-home color design consultations, and detailed quotes.
Fresh Coat Painters of Oviedo and Windermere serves Oviedo, Winter Springs, Casselberry, Chuluota, Windermere, Lake Nona, Bay Hill, Dr. Phillips and the surrounding communities.
Weve tried to get quotes for painters to come to our home and the whole process was very difficult. I eventually did get a couple of quotes, but there was no explanation about where the numbers came from and the painters couldnt work with my schedule. My experience showed me that this area needed a better option for a more professional painting service, which is why we decided to open Fresh Coat, Gregory said.
Gregory is no stranger to owning a business. He actually moved to the States from the U.K. in 2008 to launch his own company, which he sold before opening Fresh Coat.
That business was extremely successful and we sold it to start a new journey, but the success we experienced rested largely on the high level of customer service we provided. Im looking forward to bringing that experience to Fresh Coat and our clients. Its important to me that every client is absolutely satisfied, Gregory said.
Fresh Coat is committed to quality products and services and the company offers a 3-3-3 customer service pledge, so calls will be answered by a live person within three minutes, a quote will be delivered within three days (customer schedule permitting) and the job will be started within three weeks. All Fresh Coat Painters of Oviedo and Windermere employees are professional painters who are insured, trained and background checked.
Our painters are our employees not contractors and well be training them not only to be the best painters, but also to be professionals. Well expect them to be on time, do the job right and provide excellent customer service, Gregory said.
Fresh Coat was founded in 2004 as part of Strategic Franchising Systems. In the last year, Fresh Coat has been included in the Bonds Top 100 and named to Entrepreneur Magazines Franchise 500 list. Fresh Coat is also part of the International Franchise Association, the Small Business Associations Franchise Registry, VetFran and Minority Fran.

HATTIESBURG, MS (WDAM) -
This is a news release from the Hattiesburg alliance for public art
The Hattiesburg Alliance for Public Art (HAPA) and Hattiesburg Arts Council will host an exhibit of 20 Little Free Libraries created by local artists, architects, contractors, city employees, businesses, neighborhood associations, and children. The exhibit and reception will be held on Saturday, February 7, from 3:00 to 5:00 at the Hattiesburg Cultural Center. Visitors are encouraged to bring a gently used book to donate to the cause, since following the Take a Look/Find a Book exhibit, all the libraries will be stocked and placed in pedestrian-friendly areas throughout town.
Local architect and HAPA board member Larry Albert designed four unique libraries which were constructed by area contractors and are being painted by artists. The structures include a juke box to be placed on Mobile Street, a miniature train depot and high-rise building for The Historic Train Depot and Katz Park, anda special surprise for librarian extraordinaire Pamela Pridgen--a miniature version of the library building which is being painted by none other than William (Bill) Baggett, the nationally renowned mural artist whose works include The Spirit That Builds, the 167-foot circular mural inside the Library of Hattiesburg, Petal and Forrest County.
These contractors are all great local citizens, Albert said. Charlie Finnegan of Finlo, Dorian Shoemake of D.C. General, Butch Nobles of Nobles Construction, and Scott Humphrey of B.W. Sullivan Building Contractor, every one of them jumped at the chance to build and donate these libraries, and all they asked of me was that we put them in areas where they could be easily accessed by some of our under-served population.
Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree has also been an avid supporter of the effort. The very first donation we received came from the mayor, said Rebekah Stark Johnson, Executive Director of the Hattiesburg Arts Council. The mayor provided funding for several children's books in hopes of encouraging parents to read more frequently to their young children. City workers also gathered scrap materials to build five libraries for housing children's books. Those libraries will be placed at city parks and community centers and were painted by artists Kim Whitt, Matt Holland, Hector Boldo, and Vixon Sullivan, as well as the children participating in Hattiesburg's smART space program under the guidance of Abigail Lenz Allen.
Other area youth who are participating include young abstract artist Cade Slaughter who is painting a library for The Oaks Neighborhood Association and the Boy Scouts of Troops 448 and 449 who worked with artist Alejandro Wooten to decorate a library for Trinity Episcopal Church, sponsor of the ScoutReach troops. Art students at Oak Grove High School are constructing a library for the Edwards Street Fellowship Center.
HAPA president Becky Montague is elated with the community's response to the new alliance's first initiative. Hattiesburg was obviously ready for a public art program, she said. There's been a great outpouring of support from artists, the business community, local government, and neighbors. We're collaborating like I've never seen before.
Adolfo Pardo has built several of the structures for participants including Trustmark Bank's Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance Co., Hattiesburg Concert Association, and Keg & Barrel. Petal artist Ashlea Odom is creating a library for her neighborhood as are Sarah Mangrum, Matt Carr and Jessica Lightfoot for their Kamper Avenues neighborhood. Ben Morrison is at work on a library for Earl Travillion Attendance Center.
All the libraries will remain on exhibit through February 12, and field trips can be arranged by calling Hattiesburg Arts Council at 601.583.6005. Following the exhibit, HAPA will assist with installation and provide for charters so that all libraries can be an official part of the Little Free Library national network. Once the libraries are installed, anyone can take a book home to read and later return it to any of the little libraries in town.

CORNING, Calif. -
The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) warns California consumers about unlicensed contractors advertising their illegal services on the popular Craigslist.org. A recent sting in Tehama County led to eight arrests.
According to a news release from the CSLB, all eight people caught during an undercover sting operation conducted last Thursday in Corning were targeted because of illegal ads posted on Craigslist.
CSLB's Statewide Investigative Fraud Team (SWIFT) teamed up with the 'Tehama County District Attorneys Office to conduct the sting at a home near the Corning Canal, just west of Interstate 5.
Investigators posed as homeowners and called suspects to the home to bid on home improvement projects that included installation of new kitchen floor tile, granite countertop, a stone fire pit, landscaping, tree removal, interior and exterior painting, and concrete work.
Bids totaled as much as $16,000 for a new driveway, far above the legal limit. Any home improvement job that cost $500 or more in combined labor and material requires that a person have a state-issued contractors license.
As a result, eight suspects were cited for a misdemeanor charge of contracting without a license (Business and Professions Code section 7028). Six of those suspects will face an additional misdemeanor charge of illegal advertising (Business and Professions Code section 7027.1). State law requires unlicensed contractors to state in all advertising they are not licensed.
In addition, one suspect is expected to be charged with a violation of Labor Code section 3700.5 after bringing an employee to the sting operation who was not covered by workers' compensation insurance. That employee also was taken into custody after investigators determined he was on parole after recently serving seven years in prison for first-degree residential burglary and assault with a deadly weapon. One suspect was on probation for arson; another was found with drug paraphernalia in his pocket.
"This sting is stark evidence of the type of people we often find working without a license," said CSLB Registrar Cindi Christenson "Since advertisers don't pay to be on craigslist, their illegal ads are right next to legitimate ads from licensed contractors. That's why it's vital consumers check CSLB's website and make sure they're considering a reputable contractor in order to avoid serious risks."
CSLB encourages consumers to check the licensing of potential contractors by visiting http://www.cslb.ca.gov or by calling 800-321-2752.

Its already had a successful summer, but the Scarborough Paddling Pool will officially welcome families back with an opening ceremony and a pool party at 10.30am on Wednesday 4 February.
The Welcome Back Scarborough Paddling Pool event will feature a mihi whakatau, followed by the official opening of the pool by Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board Chair Sara Templeton and children from Pebbles Preschool, as well as water toys, kids entertainers, face-painting, cake and more.
Ms Templeton said the official re-opening of the Scarborough Paddling Pool was a key part of restoring a sense of continuity and healing to the community.
"There's been a paddling pool at Scarborough since the early 1960s and many of the parents bringing their children to the official opening remember going there when they were children," she says.
Sara Templeton paid tribute to the local people who put hundreds of hours into achieving the completion of the pool after the earthquakes.
"This began with the spade day with preschool children that kicked off the rebuild and it was one of the first projects to get sign-off from Council to be rebuilt.
"Everyone involved in the project including the contractors strove to get it completed in time for the summer and now children and parents are once again enjoying the pool," she says.
Scarborough Paddling Pool was the first of the Councils outdoor pool rebuild/repair projects to open this summer, and was shortly joined by Waltham Lido Pool. With the opening in February of the Norman Kirk Memorial Pool in Lyttelton, all five of Christchurchs outdoor pools will be back in action for the first time since before the Canterbury earthquakes.
"It is great to be able to formally re-open the Scarborough Paddling Pool," says Hagley-Ferrymead Councillor Yani Johanson. "It was a hugely missed destination that is now able to bring much fun and enjoyment to families, young people, and children across the local community and wider city. The water playground will be a fantastic facility with a modern design that combines the traditional paddling pool with new features that will provide an exciting and fun space for people to enjoy."
The pool was temporarily closed in January while finishing touches - three shade pavilions with seats, permanent fencing and landscaping - were added. Christchurch City Council decided to open the facility on 20 December 2014 before it was complete, allowing families to enjoy it over the Christmas break - which proved to be a popular move.

A lawmaker has proposed covering government structures and buildings in beige paint instead of yellow, orange or other colors that might be identified with a particular government officials political party affiliation.
Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo has filed House Bill 5314 requiring the establishment of a uniform Government Building Paint Color Scheme under which the performance standards for coatings are set, tested and approved.
Under the measure, no plan of work for the protective coating and color of any government structure or building shall be undertaken without going through the Government Building Paint Color Scheme and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) accrediting the contractors.
The accreditation of contractors is necessary to ensure that product standards, competency and coating requirements for government structures and buildings are consistent with the light brown standard mandated by the measure.
Castelo, chair of the House committee on Metro Manila development, said he was prompted to file the bill because of the supposed practice of several elected public officials of painting government structures and buildings with colors identifiable with them.
According to Castelo, the politicians' use of specific colors is done with the clear intent to associate the construction of such building or structure to them at full cost on the part of the government.
The lawmaker believes beige should be adopted as the official color for government structures and buildings because it is neutral and indistinct. Xianne Arcangel/BM, GMA News
