Vanda Coatings was established in 1997 as V&A Coatings by Vic Davies and Adrian Llewellyn Jones, initially securing major contracts recoating petrol pump forecourts for Shell Garages across the UK.
Following a management buyout in 2001 and a rebrand to Vanda Coatings in 2002, the company expanded its services, acquiring Electrostatics Ltd in 2003 and developing the full range of on-site spraying services we offer today.
Now a family-run business headquartered in Cardiff, Vanda operates directly employed spraying teams covering the length and breadth of the UK mainland. Our model, no subcontracting, no compromises, means consistent quality whether the project is in Cardiff or Glasgow, Bristol or Birmingham.
Nearly three decades of growth in specialist on-site spraying.
