Decorating firm set to double its workforce

Trinity Decorating Services is looking to double its workforce to meet growing demand.

The Edinburgh-based painting and decorating company has launched a recruitment drive for experienced professionals, as well as apprentices.

The company was formed in 1995 and acquired by businessmen Jonny Blurton and Mark Ivinson three years ago. It currently has 10 members of staff, with expectations that figure could double, given the volume of contracts coming in.

Working on both commercial and domestic projects, the new recruits will be on a four-day working week, after this was successfully implemented by the company nearly two years ago.

“It has been encouraging to see business continue to pick up and it means we need to strengthen our team,” said managing director Mark Ivinson.

“The demand for our services is testimony to the good job we do and it’s exciting to now be looking at expanding our core team to meet the demand.

“As well as fully qualified professionals, it’s also our intention to give opportunities to those younger people who are maybe looking to embark on a career path so there are a number of apprenticeships available as well.”

Blurton added: “The next 12 months look like they’re going to be as busy as ever and it’s important we make the right moves now to be in the best position possible.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if our team was to double in the period, so it’s an exciting time for the business as we look to keep growing.”

The business counts the likes of the National Galleries of Scotland and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo among its client base.
