HMG Paints Announces New Appointments

After recent success on the specification and deliverance of decorative coatings on such projects as Prodrive’s Banbury Headquarters, the £48 million restoration of Manchester Central Library and cinemas around the UK, HMG Paints have now appointed a new decorative business area manager, Steve Pellatt.

HMG’s new Industrial sales representative David Leverton will be focusing on business development in Yorkshire and the North East. HMG have long supplied the industrial coatings market place, and distribute to customers across the globe. With over two decades of technical experience in the automotive coatings sector David hopes to bring his knowledge from working at two of HMG’s long standing distributors Movac and Carlac in to further growing brand awareness for HMG.

“We are delighted to welcome David and Steve to the developing sales team at HMG. With offerings of newly developed decorative colour collections, we are looking forward to pairing this with Steve’s extensive specification knowledge.” said Danny Cleary, HMG’s Sales Director “We have worked closely with David for a number of years as he has collected experience from work with two of our distributors.
