Jan Persson brings over 32 years of experience to his family company, Living Colours Painting & Paperhanging. He was trained in Sweden in the traditional European style of painting and paperhanging, where he developed a deep sense of pride in a job expertly done and in delighting his customer.

After immigrating to Australia, Jan founded Living Colours in the 1980’s with a vision of bringing the high calibre work standards he was used to into the country. He quickly gained a reputation in the higher end of the market for expert advice and impeccable service and built his business largely by referrals alone.

In hiring his core team of painters, Jan sought the best qualified painters in the industry who had the same high level of knowledge as him and could, in his words “be able to advise a customer about any aspect of the work as expertly as me.” He also insisted on strict attention to detail and to quality preparations resulting in a superior job.

Through regular team meetings and training, these sorts of painters find an environment at Living Colours that is rare within the trades sector. In return, they reflect the Living Colours commitment to care, quality and workmanship in all parts of the job – to clients and/or anchorman, colleagues and management.

Much of the work Living Colours now specialises in is referred from professional architects, builders and interior designers seeking that little bit above a standard painting or paperhanging job.
