A proud moment for Hamilton …

17th Jun 2026

We’re delighted to have been recognised by the Builders Merchants Federation Ltd (BMF) with not one, but two special awards:

🏅 Top 100 Oldest Suppliers
🏅 Top 100 – 50 Companies Over 50

Founded in 1746, Hamilton has been supporting decorators for almost three centuries. While our industry, products and customers have evolved significantly over that time, our purpose has remained remarkably consistent: to provide professional decorators with tools they can trust.

These awards recognise not only our heritage, but also our continued commitment to innovation, supporting the trade, investing in future talent and working closely with merchants across the UK to grow the decorating category.

As highlighted in our nomination, Hamilton continues to champion craftsmanship, education and professional standards while evolving to meet the needs of today’s decorators.

A huge thank you to our customers, merchant partners, decorators and colleagues who have played a part in our journey over the last 280 years.
Here’s to continuing to support the pro for many years to come.
