Paul Moorman, The Shanklin Hotel

Paul Hawkins has been part of our team of sub contractors responsible for the refurbishment of our two hotels in Sandown and Shanklin on the Isle of Wight for over ten years. We have always found Paul to be exemplary in all aspects of the work that he has carried out on our behalf. We have always found him to be extremely reliable, very honest and someone that acknowledges the importance of working as a member of a team. His approach to his work has always been to try to achieve the highest standards possible in any projects that he undertakes, and indeed expects the same from other members of our team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul as both a friend and a colleague. 

Robert J. Ball, Westridge Investments Ltd.

I have known Paul for more than ten years and during this time have employed him on numerous projects as a painter and decorator. At all times Paul has always been courteous, punctual and completes his work to the agreed programme. The standard of Paul's work is excellent and I would be as bold to say that he is one of the best painters on the Island. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any future employer, as I will whenever possible, use him in the future for my projects.

Alan Aylott, The Harrow Lodge Hotel

Paul Hawkins has been employed by this hotel for over ten years as a painter and decorator and has always carried out his work to the highest of standards and we would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

R. Bland, Day's Colour Centre

For the last eighteen years I have been the manager of ICI Dulux Decorator Centre and have known Mr Hawkins for over twelve years as a customer. In that time Mr Hawkins has run his account in exemplary fashion, has always paid on time and I have never had any problems with the maintenance of his account. He is also one of the few decorators we are happy to recommend to other customers looking for a professional tradesman. He has worked for many of my other customers on sub-contract terms over many years and I have never heard any detrimental comments regarding his work. He is also one of the few decorators able to undertake specialist decorating such as marbling, dragging, etc. and is also a very good wallpaper hanger. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for any type of decorating need. Mr Hawkins is, to my knowledge, efficient, honest, courteous, and for the standard of work which I have seen many times, very competitive.

Mr and Mrs Whitehead, Fulton's Seafood and Chop House

We have been in business now for twelve years and have employed Mr Paul Hawkins' services as a painter and decorator throughout this period. When we have refurbished a business premises such as The Crown Hotel, Joe Daflo's (all three sites) and latterly Fulton's Seafood and Chop House we have engaged Paul to undertake all decorating work both internally and externally, and he returns every year or as required to ensure the buildings stay looking immaculate. We have always found Paul to have the highest standards, both professionally and personally, and hence we have never employed any other decorator. When undertaking work for us Paul is prompt, efficient, trustworthy and honest. We consider Paul to be a friend as well as a business colleague.
