I started to learn the trade with my Dad who in my mind was one of the best decorators I have met. I came to Hardgate 6 years ago and I have enjoyed it since the day I started. I have met loads of amazing people and my intentions are to climb the ladder at the company.
Job satisfaction and meeting new people on every job. The satisfaction after our work is done and you see the final product. I get a lot of pride in what we do.
To give me and my family the best life.
Tell my mum and brothers to retire.
Prior to working at Hardgate, I worked for our family run decorating business. I also have a Business Law degree and I am a Personal Trainer in my spare time! I am looking forward to helping the company flourish and grow.
To create a good Work- Life balance and prioritise Health and Wellbeing. Health is Wealth!
To see my children happy!
Buy lots of land and rescue animals.
I have been painting for 17 years now, spend most of my time outside work with my wife and 2 boys and the rare occasion I get the chance to I enjoy a few beers with friends watching the football.
Seeing the final outcome on jobs that we have put a lot of time and energy into and getting good feedback from clients, working with a good team of people.
Continuing to gain experience and moving up in the company to be able to provide the best possible life for my family.
I would share my wealth with family and friends and live a happy life.
Like Cameron , my background was 21 years at a Main Contractor where I worked up to the position of Senior Commercial Manager. My role is to run the company which is not nearly as glamorous as it sounds. I am estimator, surveyor, project manager, accountant, HR, Health and Safety all rolled into one.
We employee almost 50 people, of which 10 are apprentices. The feeling of being able to provide these opportunities gives me enormous personal satisfaction.
There is also nothing better than receiving positive feedback from Clients when you deliver a project. Our company is owned by the management team so we take great pride in what we do.
To continue to build Hardgate to become one of the best painting contractors in the Industry.
Finish my pilots license and buy a plane.
I came through the ranks at Hardgate, starting here as an apprentice. Painting is in my blood, I have multiple family members in the painting industry.
The thing I love most about my job is getting to work with great people from all walks of life. The stories they share can make your day.
To continuously educate and better myself.
I’d buy a big mansion with a heated pool for me and the family to live in.
I’ve worked in the industry for over 18 years and I am now a Supervisor at Hardgate. I have previously won awards for Painting and Decorating; Crown and Dulux ‘Apprentice of the Year’ and ‘Tradesman of the year’ in 2020 and 2021 at The Scottish Business Awards. This has allowed me to develop my experience, knowledge and skills within the industry.
Being involved in projects from start to finish and seeing the end product is the most rewarding part of my job. I also enjoy teaching apprentices and giving them the skills and knowledge to prepare them for the opportunities ahead. Everyone at Hardgate is driven and working towards the shared goal of success for the company which is great to be a part of.
To continue to learn and evolve and create the best future for my family.
100kg Snatch would be great too!!
Buy a house abroad and fly the whole family out on Dave’s pilot licence.
I began working in the industry at 16 years old when I enrolled in a college course for basic level painting and decorating. After this I sought an apprenticeship and the rest is history. Over the years I have worked all over the U.K and also abroad on a diverse range of projects which help me bring an eclectic perspective on our work.
Job satisfaction is certainly a driving motivation. Being in a position to confidently offer guidance and advice to the younger generation would be something I enjoy also.
Happiness.
Travel the world with my family.
I am Accounts Manager at Hardgate Painting. I have worked in both the Public and Private Sector. At Hardgate I manage and oversee the daily operations of the Accounting Department.
Everyone shares the same vision for the Company.
To see my family Happy and Healthy.
Buy a Villa in Southern Spain.
I am a Foreman at Hardgate Painting
I have been in the trade for almost 22 years, most of which has been with Hardgate.
I am the quiet, reserved one of the team!!
The best thing about my job is the people I work with. Hardgate is a great place to work and learn new things. I like the fact that training is always available to anyone who wants it.
My goal is to keep trying my best for Hardgate and to make the company a success for myself and my friends that work there.
I would build my own house and likely give the majority of the money to my kids.
My background is 32 years (you would never guess by looking at me) in painting and decorating. 26 years in a family business before joining Hardgate.
Since joining Hardgate I have progressed to the position of Project Forewoman.
The best thing about my job is working with a team of professional people who are passionate about their work.
I love meeting new people on different projects be it tradesmen or management and working together to deliver amazing projects.
Watching my two boys, Darren and Dean grow into two men that I am very proud of.
Build my dream home and travel the world.
My biggest passion in life is football ,I love watching my son play and when he’s not playing we love going to watch Glasgow Celtic.
I love family holidays in our favourite place Bulgaria we have been going there for the last 7 years and I find this the perfect place to go and relax and recharge my batteries.
Positive feedback from the clients makes me feel very proud of our team.
Also working with a group of people that genuinely care about the company and the people that work in it.
To be as successful as possible without falling out with anyone on the way.
If I won the lottery I would try to make sure my family live a very comfortable life.
I am Contracts Manager at Hardgate Painting
I am a decorator to trade (like to think a really good one at one time).
Very conscientious about quality and customer service!
At Hardgate I manage and oversee the daily operations of My own Contracts. Acting as the go between for Hardgate Management, the Site Foreman and the project/ site management and clients. Its my job to make sure that all contracts are handed over on program, within budget & to the highest possible standards (as well as a myriad of other tasks LOL).
Getting out and about to all parts of the country and meeting new people!
To live a long and happy life and see my family do the same, grow and fulfil all of their own goals in life.
Learn to sail, buy a big cabin cruiser and tour the marinas of Europe with friends and family.

I’ve worked in the construction industry both private and commercial and also in shipbuilding (MOD).
When you see the fruits of the squads labour coming together and seeing the finished product.
Visit Canada Oz and Dubai.
Prior to working at Hardgate, I worked with a Main Contractor for 13 years where I worked as part of a team delivering numerous projects. This previous experience provided me with an insight into the inner workings of Main Contracting and allows me to ensure that we provide our Clients with the service and support that they need.
Working from home when I need to is definitely up there with the “best thing about my job” but I also love seeing the team deliver difficult projects to a high standard – something that we do on a regular basis.
To continue with the path that I’m on and to keep chasing a better version of myself. Finding time to play more golf would also be up there.
Probably pay someone to do my job for me.
Supervisor with Hardgate painters.
Worked all over the UK supervising the Decoration of new build and re-fits of retail stores.
The camaraderie between my fellow workmates.
To see our grandkids always laughing and smiling.
