Painting & Decorating Association (PDA)

Bagnalls has been an active member of the PDA since it was formed in 2002, following the merger of the Painting and Decorating Federation (PDF) and the British Decorators Association (BDA). Generations of senior managers in the company have contributed to committees and working parties in the PDA and PDF dealing with matters including, apprenticeships, training and safety.

The high level of service offered to our customers has been consistently recognised in the annual awards of the PDA, with a special award being given to us in 2005 for our dedication to training, innovation and customer focus.

Our annual intake of apprentices has consistently been recognised in training awards and a number of our apprentices have won the title of PDA Apprentice of the year. Projects we have undertaken are regularly recognised for their professionalism in the PDA's annual Trophy competition.
