We are delighted to welcome Novus Solutions to the Train the painter network.
As one of the UK’s leading providers of property maintenance, refurbishment and specialist coatings services, Novus Solutions has chosen to invest in the development of its workforce through the world leading industrial coatings training programme.
Train the painter is globally recognised and specified by leading asset owners, contractors and infrastructure organisations, providing a benchmark for competence, quality and safety across the protective coatings industry.
We spoke with Stuart Lemon, Operations Manager at Novus Solutions, about why they chose Train the painter and what it means for the future of its Painting and Specialist Coatings division.
What made Novus Solutions decide to join Train the painter?
Novus Solutions is committed to developing and supporting its people at every level. I have worked with Train the painter for a number of years, so bringing this level of recognised training into Novus is an exciting step. It aligns closely with our future plans for the Painting and Specialist Coatings division, particularly as we continue to focus on growth, quality and technical excellence.
How important is recognised industry training within the industry?
Recognised industry training is extremely important. It gives clients confidence that the work will be delivered safely, professionally and to a consistently high standard. It also helps strengthen relationships with both new and existing clients. For our teams, it demonstrates that Novus is investing in their development, which helps them feel valued and supported in their roles.
Which course are you most looking forward to delivering through Train the painter?
All of the courses offer real value, so it is difficult to choose just one. The Train the painter platform makes it straightforward to deliver high-quality training material in a clear and accessible way. That simplicity will help us provide consistent, effective training across our workforce.
How do you think Train the painter training will benefit your workforce?
The training will give our workforce greater confidence, knowledge and technical understanding. This will help our teams make better decisions on site, particularly when dealing with critical quality, safety and coating application requirements. Ultimately, it will support more consistent delivery and stronger project outcomes.
What difference does recognised training make when it comes to client confidence?
Recognised training plays a major role in building client confidence. Clients need to know that their projects are being delivered by competent, trained operatives who understand the importance of quality assurance, quality control and correct application methods. Train the painter supports Novus in providing that reassurance by helping us deliver reliable solutions, reduce risk and give clients peace of mind that the protective coatings phase of their project is in safe hands.
We’re thrilled to welcome Novus Solutions to the Train the painter network and look forward to supporting their teams as they develop the knowledge, skills and competence that will help drive quality, safety and standards across the industrial coatings sector.
