Decorator painting a bright future for firm

Decorating expert Noel Slattery is spreading a new service to a village on the outskirts of Lincoln.

After seeing the business he launched less than three years ago grow rapidly to provide work for 11 people, the owner of Lincs Decorating Service has decided to open his own shop.

And after a search for the right premises, he is now renovating an old taxi office in Grantham Road, Bracebridge Heath, near Lincoln.

After concentrating heavily on a wide variety of commercial work, including jobs for local building firms, Mr Slattery is keen to take on more private residential jobs.

And he is convinced there are plenty of opportunities to give scores of county homes a makeover, at a time when the housing market is still racing away.

People are also being encouraged to spash out and do up their homes, by bright and breezy television programmes and specialist magazines.

"I am confident my new shop will attract a large number of people, including those who do not have the time or the ability to hang wallpaper for themselves," said Noel.

Chartered surveyor Hodgson Elkington, marketed the shop, which is close to other businesses and on a busy route into Lincoln.

Today partner Daniel Race said: "We wish Noel well in his new business.

"There is little competition in decorating products on this side of Lincoln, so he should do well.

"All the DIY stores require a drive into Lincoln and he has a growing customer base in Bracebridge Heath with all the residential development going on there," he added.
