Having been established for over 45 years, George Nicolson are a second generation family business whose main markets within painting and decorating are retail, commercial, leisure and private housing. We have a management structure that is capable of organising and completing any type or size of decoration project. With a work force of nearly 40 staff, we undertake contracts throughout the U.K.
All our site staff are directly employed and operate to a strict code of customer service. We also operate a company identification and work wear scheme. Within the leisure industry, including the refurbishment of public houses, offices and hotels, George Nicolson operates as a main contractor where our role consists of managing programme, financial forecasting, Health & Safety and sub-contractors etc.
Is about being organised and setting high standards. We continue to achieve this through years of ensuring these values are ingrained throughout the organisation. Another very important part of our approach is training, allowing us to retain and enhance our standards through a programme of improvement and opportunity which is in place year on year.

Services
George Nicolson's are a second generation family business.
Joint Managing Directors, Barrie and Ewan Nicolson, along with Director, Jeremy Tempest-Mitchell, as well as several other key members of staff joined the business over 20 years ago.
We also have a small group of shareholders who are employees of the business.
The business was started in 1972 by George Nicolson with nothing more than a garage lock up, a friend who was a painter & decorator and the will to succeed.
Having moved premises a few times, the company settled in their current offices at Salamander Street, Leith in 1991.

Throughout the years, we have focused on the commercial painting sector through the banks, public houses, hotels and offices.
We pride ourselves on the close working relationships we have built up directly with clients, contractors, designers, architects and surveyors alike.
These relationships have involved us working mainly within central belt Scotland, however over the years we have undertaken projects throughout the UK and Europe as well as in Turkey, South Africa and Israel.
Over the past 15 years, we have extended out into main/principal contracting covering several markets such as hotels, restaurant, public houses and offices.

In 2008, we acquired Henderson & Paterson, a well established residential painting and decorating contractor.
This enabled us to operate further within the residential and private house painting and decorating markets.
Henderson & Paterson Ltd were originally formed in 1932 and were a respected business in their own right.
Now a division of George Nicolson's, they still hold the same values and standards to this day.
Over the years, Henderson & Paterson have established relationships with many clients throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians including Merchiston, Morningside, Marchmont and Blackford as well as Leith, Trinity, Portobello and Musselburgh.
