Leeds-based Brouns & Co, the UK’s only manufacturer of environmentally sustainable linseed paint and one of just a handful of producers worldwide, is playing a key role in a £4m regeneration project that is breathing new life into a historic quarter of Wakefield.
The city’s Upper Westgate Heritage Action Zone has provided grants to businesses since 2020 to enable them to renovate and invest in more than 20 historically significant buildings in the Westgate area of the city, many of which were vacant and had fallen into disrepair.
” She added: “Brouns & Co colour-matched the historic paint shades for us and on some buildings we also used their own historic colours. The fact that they make the paint right here in Yorkshire is a bonus and has helped reduce the environmental impact of the project.
