In this episode I am joined by Cait Whitson from Whitson’s and Carte Blanche. The aim of Whitson’s is to manufacture, source and supply exceptional products for the decorationindustry. Carte Blanche which was Cait’s first business offered high-end decorative painting and restoration services.

We talk about Cait got into the industry and the trainingshe undertook and the kind of properties she worked on which ignited her passion to learn more about paint, how it is made and how it is applied and developing her specialist paint skills in graining and marbling. How life in a male dominated environment was and how she circumnavigated it.

We discuss the impact of products on the environment,challenges, common themes and misconceptions working in the heritage sector along with the usual top tips when working with an older property.

It will be an interesting listen for anyone embarking on aproject and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
