Shaun Mckay, owner of Splash of Colour, has become one of the youngest winners of Trusted Trader of the Month.
26-year-old Shaun won December’s title, with judges praising his work ethic and his willingness to go the extra mile to help customers.
‘It’s absolutely unbelievable to me to win at my age,’ said Shaun, who took over the business from his father five years ago in 2013.
‘I’m overjoyed because I know it’s hard to win. My account manager said you have to be top of your game. It’s a fantastic scheme and I’m pleased to be part of it.’

Customer-service values
Shaun joined Trusted Traders on the recommendation of his father. ‘He always used to say we have the same set of values that Which? has,’ Shaun explained. ‘He’s old school and believes in good customer service.’
Those principles have remained central to Shaun’s business, and are his motivation to put in the hours decorating a customers’ house.
‘My father says you only get out of a company what you put in, and that’s what I’ve done ever since,’ he told us. ‘I’ll work seven days a week if necessary.
‘I try to take the hard work out of things for the clients, because it’s stressful buying a house and trying to make it a home.’
