Cairngorm Capital Case Studies


PaintWell formed through the acquisition of three family-owned businesses – Bromborough Paints, Kent Blaxill, and Promain – is a specialist, independent decorators’ merchant with a rapidly growing network of 52 branches stretching from Cumbria to Kent, supported by an integrated industrial paints offering and ecommerce platform www.paintwell.co.uk.

Cairngorm Capital’s investment has already enabled PaintWell to rebrand, accelerate its branch rollout programme, invest in best-in-class technology and systems, and enter new verticals, with plans to grow to more than 100 branches over the next five years.

Cairngorm Capital’s first investment in PaintWell was made in March 2021, with the Kent Blaxill and Promain acquisitions completed in November 2022.

For more information on the transaction, please see the Bromborough Paints investment press release.
