The Paint Shed

After investing in The Paint Shed in 2020, we worked closely with its management team — supporting positive growth, through new stores and expansion. In 2023, the business was acquired by Brewers, bringing together two of the largest independent paint retailers in the UK. The deal also provided a successful exit for BGF, delivering strong returns.

The Paint Shed continues to operate as a standalone subsidiary, but the combined group will enable efficiencies in distribution, and expanded product ranges and customer services — meaning the two businesses can offer the best customer proposition in the market.
