THROUGHOUT the autumn, Dulux Decorator Centre Malvern is helping to support the professionalism of the local painting and decorating trade by hosting a programme of activity at its store on Townsend Way.

From September to November, the centre will be providing expert advice on a range of specialist topics to help decorators expand their skills and knowledge of new products and technology, and build their reputations for quality craftsmanship.

Each month will focus on a different theme, with Dulux Decorator Centre Malvern offering guidance on how to make the right impression in September, followed by advice on using the latest products and techniques in October. In November, the store will be celebrating and rewarding local decorators through the Nectar loyalty scheme.

Throughout each month, the Dulux centre will also be running competitions both in-store and on its Twitter (@DuluxDecCentre) and Facebook pages to celebrate and reward the successes of local painters and decorators. In-store, every customer that buys 10 litres of Dulux Trade paint or woodcare will be in with a chance of winning £10,000 for their business, a tablet, tyres for their van plus much more.
