To celebrate its 100 year anniversary, Purdy has announced a competition to win a trip for two to its heartland, Portland in Oregon. During the luxury seven-night stay, the winner will visit the Purdy factory to meet the brushmakers and even make their own Purdy brush, a prize that money can’t buy.
At Purdy, crafting quality painting and decorating tools is just as important today as it was 100 years ago, when S. Desmond Purdy handcrafted the first Purdy brush in his Portland garage. After years of dedicated design, crafting and testing to deliver durable tools with an unsurpassed performance, Purdy is now celebrating its 100-year anniversary with a return to its roots.
The competition prize includes a seven-night stay for two with bed and breakfast at the 5-star Ritz Carlton Hotel in Portland from the 26 October 2025 until the 2 November 2025, including flights and transfers from a UK or Irish airport. As well as a tour of the Purdy factory and brushmaking experience, there will also be plenty of time to explore everything that Portland has to offer at your leisure.
For a chance to win, all you need to do is visit https://purdy.co.uk/purdy-factory-competition/ and fill in the entry form, explaining why you would love to visit Purdy.
As well as the grand prize, from March to July 2025, one entrant will also be selected each month to win a loaded Purdy backpack.
Andrew Cummins, Senior Product Manager at Purdy, commented: “We are very excited to be launching our Portland competition in celebration of Purdy’s 100 year anniversary. The competition was created to show appreciation to our loyal customers who have supported Purdy over the years. The lucky winner will not only be able to visit the Purdy factory and explore Portland, but they will also be able to experience a true American Halloween!”
