Dulux Academy Open House

Dulux Academy, the home of painting and decorating excellence, is hosting its annual Open House event on 12 July 2024. Taking place at its flagship site in Slough from 10:00 to 15:30, this year’s tropical-themed event promises to be bigger and better than ever. The day will include competitions, freebies, food, networking opportunities with likeminded professionals, and the chance to meet the Dulux Academy team, Dulux dog and over 20 suppliers.

The Dulux Academy Open House is an opportunity for painters and decorators to visit the flagship site in Slough to find out more about the facilities and training courses available, whilst meeting the experienced trainers and supplier partners that set Dulux Academy apart. In fact, there are over 20 leading brands in attendance on the day, including Graco, Mirka, tesa and more.

On the day, suppliers will be demonstrating their products and running fun competitions for the chance to win some great prizes. The Dulux Academy team and suppliers will also be delivering masterclasses and allowing decorators to get hands-on with the latest kit. There will also be a charity raffle to raise funds for The Rainy Day Trust, which provides support for tradespeople during times of financial hardship.

Vickie Mather, Dulux Academy Lead at AkzoNobel, commented: “We’re thrilled to be opening our doors for our annual Open House event this July. The day is an excellent opportunity for painters and decorators to come together for a fun day of networking, learning from industry leaders and connecting with top suppliers – as well as having the chance to take selfies with the Dulux dog!

“At this year’s event, attendees will also be able to visit Dulux Academy’s newly opened ‘The Mews’. This outdoor training space simulates the real-life exterior conditions that decorators will experience on the job, so that they are better prepared to carry out work to the highest standard once on site. It is also the home of our new uPVC spray application course.”
