SME UK Enterprise Awards 2024/ 144 Best Painting & Decoration Company 2024 - East of England UK Enterprise Client Service Excellence Award 2024 Athena Painting Contractors Ltd Established in 2018, Athena Painting Contractors Ltd (Athena) works primarily as the principal contractor on a variety of projects throughout Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and North London. The firm’s dedicated Owner, Arturo Cocchiarella talks passionately about how he believes everything centres around the client in the wake of the firm gaining notable recognition for its hard work in the UK Enterprise Awards 2024. As a renowned painting and decorating contractor, Athena Painting Contractors Ltd works within both the commercial and domestic sector, specialising in new build internal and external painting, as well as offices, schools, and hospitals, with clients including SDC, JC Gill Developments, Gill Hudson, Oak Developments, Bedfordshire Scaffolding, PJH Group, Sira Builders, Ants Group and Redbull F1, to name but a few. Minimising all the stress for clients is the name of the game at Athena and the team works hard to ensure that customers can simply hand over the reins and let the firm take control. “We want them to know that when they use us, they do not have to think about our side of the project again,” explains Arturo Cocchiarella, the owner of the company. “We take care of things for them. We solve problems day to day and do our very best to maintain a very high standard of work. We don’t leave until the client is happy.” Complete client satisfaction is one of the firm’s building blocks and also one of the reasons why Athena enjoys a 100% client retention rate. Another reason, however, is the level of exceptional craftsmanship that the company delivers, especially regarding its innovative airless spray coating service, which includes advanced roof painting, complete cladding, and flame-retardant coatings. Finally, Athena’s bespoke and personalised service ensures that customers are not only satisfied, but completely delighted, each and every time. Arturo tells us that this is down to the dedicated and knowledgeable team which he has built around him over the years. “Our team has taken a long time to develop – This is because genuinely good, hardworking, reliable people are hard to come by and we have gone through them,” he states. “We grow slowly, and this ensures that we only retain the best staff. We only want positive people that can smile when under pressure and, in return, all our staff will have the opportunity to develop and skill up.” The UK Enterprise Awards recently recognised Athena Painting Contractors Ltd for its dedicated client service, as well as its exceptional work and range of products offered. It was rewarded with not just one, but two, prestigious accolades, these being Best Painting & Decoration Company 2024 - East of England and the highly soughtafter UK Enterprise Client Service Excellence Award 2024. Arturo believes that the awards were clinched thanks to the firm’s steadfast approach to client care, but he is also quick to sing the praises of his staff members too. “We listen to our clients and deliver their vision – bringing to life the ideas they have in their head and making it into the house they want to live in,” he enthuses passionately. “I am proud of our team and especially of Justin Bettles who holds our team together.” Now, with the future at his fingertips, Arturo has ambitious plans to not only grow his client base, but also to grow the company further. “We will continue to do what we do and are always looking to add on new clients that we can look after. The aim will be to grow our business and staff so that we can expand the distance we cover,” he states. “I believe that we have to represent the client and their best interests with any project we do. We take the time to understand exactly what the client wants, and we work together to achieve a common goal. Projects need to be completed on time by hook or by crook and this is where we really care. Challenges and obstacles are expected every day; the trick is to take it in our stride and keep driving forward.” Contact Details Contact: Arturo Cocchiarella Company: Athena Painting Contractors Ltd Web Address: www.athenapainters.com
