Welcome to The Uk's first ever Furniture painters conference, Our aim is the development, elevation, and support of the Refinishing and Upcycling Industry in the UK.
This is a 2 day residential event will be a hub of learning from industry experts about the tools we need to grow.
These mostly women lead businesses, are now a thriving hub of entrepreneurs, eager to succeed in business and we want to help!
Sarah Pelley and Kate Holt co founded Painters Business Academy with this conference in mind. Support for the blooming upcycling industry was needed and these two have stepped up to the plate.
Feedback from this years event was fantastic and one of the most requested for next year was getting your hands on new products and testing them out in workshops. Stay tuned for more info on that.
This open Q&A was well received by the audience. Subjects such as sustainability and website SEO to Instagram was covered. Our speakers were very generous with their time.
Kate and Sarah has been coached by Jennifer for over 4 years and would love to extend a special heart felt thank you to Jennifer for virtually attending the UK's First Furniture painters conference X
