    A proud moment for teams across the Crown business… We’re delighted that our commitment to sustainable coatings, and our dedication to delivering a high-quality, truly personal service, were both recognised at last night’s British Coatings Federation awards with wins in both the Race to Net Zero and Customer Service awards. We were also highly commended in the CSR category for the impact of our community and charity programmes on people across the country, and our fantastic Crown Decorating Centres Glasgow manager Robyn Smith was highly commended in the Young Leader of the Year category. Thanks all our people, partners and suppliers for their drive, hard work and commitment to make this possible, together we are making a major difference!

    Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes at our HQ in Hull! 🔍 We had the pleasure of hosting our Crown Trade champions - Mike, Russell, and Kris - for an exclusive factory tour. From exploring product development to discussing our sustainability goals and seeing our production lines in action, it was great to hear directly from those who use our products every day. Collaboration like this is how we push innovation even further - a big thank you to our ambassadors for their expertise and inspiration!
