About Pete Wilkinson

I have been a decorator all my life and I have spent over 20 years teaching decorating apprentices at a local college. I am now the director of a training academy for decorators. Our aim is to raise the game for decorators so that they are more successful and earn more money.I know what it is like to have your own decorating business and the challenges that you face, I have been self-employed twice in my life. I would like to help you: • become more productive so that you are not rushing about all the time. • get better at pricing.• put systems in place so that we are not making it up as we go along.The training academy is mainly business to business. We train self-employed decorators, but we also run bespoke courses for larger decorating companies. I personally will carry out consultancy work with decorating companies to help them integrate spraying into their business when I have availability.I am very fortunate that I served my time at a proper decorating company and gained the full range of skills needed to be a good decorator. I also won the National of the “Skillbuild” competition back in 1986, an achievement I am proud of. As a training academy we have three things that make us unique.• We are actually decorators who are actually doing the job.• We are independent so that we can give advice on a range of products and equipment.• We offer ongoing support after the course for as long as you need it.You can contact me on fastandflawless@outlook.com or message me on here.We specialise in:Training for decoratorsProductive paintingAirless sprayingHVLP sprayingPainting systemsMarketing EstimatingPricing

    Fast and Flawless Systems - Due July 2020If you are a decorator, then there are three things that you need to do to increase your earnings. • Firstly, start pricing correctly. This was the subject of my last book Fast and Flawless Pricing. • Secondly, you need to start spraying so that you become more productive. This was the subject of my first book Fast and Flawless. • Finally, you need to put systems in place so that you are running your business like a well-oiled machine. This book looks at systems for decorators.It covers all types of systems from commonly used products to what order you should spray a room. The book also covers aspects of decorating that you may not be aware of, such as painting uPVC, recruitment systems and marketing.If you have read the other two books already then this is one is a must read, if you haven’t then this book is a great place to start.

    I started teaching painting and decorating at Preston College (as it was back then) in 1992. I had been self employed as a decorator and always fancied teaching. When a post came up I applied for the job and got it. I taught at college for many years, teaching all types of students from Adult signwork students to interior design. I have taught 14 - 16 students on the school links program and even under 10's on out curriculum centre courses aimed at primary schools.Over all those years i taught apprentices too. I have been involved in the development of new courses and the management of the apprenticeship provision. Over the years I have taught some amazing apprentices and worked with many amazing employers too.
