My name is Rob Gardner and I am a Professional Decorator. I have gained 3 NVQ’s in painting and decorating and have been working in this field since 1996. 

I started my decorating career as soon as I left school. I joined an Exeter based company as a young apprentice in 1996. It was here that I was taught all the skills to become an excellent decorator and the ‘tips of the trade’. I also attended the painting and decorating course at Torquay College, south Devon for 3 years and won the apprentice of the year award in 1999. 

By mid 2001 I had gathered crucial experience with this firm and finished in a supervisory position. It was at this point that I decided to travel around the world for four months.  

In October 2001 and back home, I started my own decorating company. I now have a large customer base within Exeter and the surrounding areas. Much of my work is gained by recommendations and word of mouth. I have full public liability insurance up to £1million. 

I also enjoy spending days out and leisure activities with my wife and two young sons.
