Craig Bell, Chief Executive Officer, introduces us to the company, covering its origins and continued social impact.
“ My parents founded Bell in 1988 as a painting and decorating business based in the central belt of Scotland. Over the following years, the company quickly expanded to deliver large-scale refurbishment and redecoration contracts across nine branches throughout the UK. Achieving this complete national coverage became Bell’ s unique selling proposition( USP). As the business reached to a certain size, its capability to handle more complex projects grew, and its offices across the nation started offering services complementary to decorating, such as flooring and roofing. Although Bell classified itself as a decorating contractor during its first decade, a significant portion of its revenue increasingly came from these other spaces. As our projects spanned various levels of complexity and began to involve different trades, we expanded our capabilities to self-deliver these additional services alongside our flagship decorating work,” he begins.
