PAINT Fair, a Bahamian-owned company in Grand Bahama specialising in coatings since 1980, was recently presented with ‘Protective Coatings Caribbean Leader in Growth’ - a sales award for leading the Caribbean region in sales growth for distributors of International Paint.

“We were thrilled to receive the award for the greatest sales growth among distributors for International Paint in the Caribbean-region covering countries from Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico and Jamaica to Surinam, Dominican Republic and the Bahamas,” said Lesley Davies-Baptista, general manager.

“We have been working very hard at building our industrial business by gaining the confidence of our customers in such a technically specialised field,” she added.

While the business has specialised in residential and commercial coatings since 1980, Paint Fair began a special training and development programme about eight years ago to sell and support the specialised, high performance industrial coatings required for corrosion and fire protection by industrial facilities and high value infrastructure.

“Certainly, this market segment has long been an anchor for business in Grand Bahama and it presented a unique opportunity for Paint Fair,” explained Mrs Joan Davies, President, Paint Fair.
