1946
It all started when John Farrow and Richard Ball made our first paints, supplying Rayleigh Bicycles, Ford Motor Company and other notable names.
1967
Disaster struck when a fire destroyed our original factory but we made our new home here in Wimborne, where we’ve crafted our paint and paper ever since.
1991
Thoroughly impressed by the quality of our paint, historic interior advisor Tom Helme and corporate financier Martin Ephson took on leadership and we began to develop colours for the National Trust.
1994
We appointed our first stockist, Paint & Paper, who we’re proud to still work with today.
