Festool With You Every day

Nick’s Story

Nick has been in the painting and decorating industry for 17 years. His career started by chance when the original college course he wanted to go into was full before he could even apply. Nick had to find a secondary option, which was a Painting and Decorating course. Today, he is a proud owner of Rushmoor Painting and Decorating business. He has previously won the Painter and Decorator of the Year Award in 2019, Nick is happy of what he has achieved in the industry over the last 17 years.

“I‘m by no means the best decorator in the world, but I was chosen as the one that you know, they felt was representing a high standard of work. It was overwhelming but at the same time I felt in a way I deserved it because I‘ve worked hard over the years”.

 

“I‘m a much more vocational person, and I just wanted to do something that I felt I was going to be good at”. Nick always helped his dad around the house, painting and decorating in the summer months when he was a teenager, but painting and decorating runs in the family as his grandad was a painter and decorator many years ago

 

Nick’s competitive side of wanting to do best in everything has won him many other awards in other areas of life. He has won different awards in motocross and other competitive sports. Currently he’s part of a basketball team in a competitive league. Nick likes being part of the team, “we have a great laugh, but we also take it very seriously. It‘s a very competitive league we‘re in and it‘s something that when you‘re doing it you lose all sense of what‘s going on outside of the team”. This is a reason why Nick uses Festool, he feels the support of the brand and is part of the Festool team.

 

Festool CTM Midi GB 15L M Class Bluetooth Vac Dust Extractor

 

The dust extractor is easily the most used tool I have from Festool. You can have every sander under the sun but without a good dust extractor, they’re pointless. It gets used for a lot of clean-up work as well”.

“I use Festool for a lot of reasons, one of them being the quality of products. It’s all about the quality of your preparation, it will dictate the quality of the job. With Festool the quality of the sanding and quality of the dust extraction is second to none and they work as a really good system”.
