Our Chief Executive Neil Ogilvie recently represented the PDA in Budapest after an official invitation from Ipartestületek Országos Szövetsége - IPOSZ, where Neil attended Szakma Sztár Fesztivál, a multi-skills apprentice show. #paintinganddecoratingassociation

@ThePDA This is an excellent competition for both starter and advanced apprentices to show their paper hanging skills. Very well organised by the PDA and sponsered by Brewers . It’s a great title Apprentice Paper Hanger of the year !!

Our Apprentice Paperhanger competition is a six-hour wallpapering challenge that tests not only accuracy & skill, but the ability to perform under pressure. Why should your apprentice enter? We'll let Kirsty Stokes at Bagnalls Academy answer - tinyurl.com/pdaaphy

Members of the UK’s largest trade body representing painters & decorators have saved more than £60,000 through use of the Markel Business Hub. The PDA offers access to the hub as part of its member benefit package, alongside Markel’s 24hr legal helpline & group insurance cover.

Did you know there is no legal maximum working temperature? At this time of year, many of our members are working outside, exposed to the sun. It's crucial to stay protected while working in the heat. @H_S_E tinyurl.com/4wctrp28
