MANCHESTER, UK — HMG Paints has appointed Steve Hutton to the company’s Board of Directors. This marks the second appointment to the board in the company’s 90^th year of business, with Jonathan Falder joining the board in January.

We are extremely proud that generations of families have worked at HMG, and I’m delighted to welcome Steve to the board of HMG,” said John Falder, Managing Director. “It is very true that we are custodians of the business for the next generation who are going to create something better. I believe the young people that we invest in today will go on to have long careers and lead HMG Paints in the future and the appointments of Steve and Jonathan are testament to that.”

He has experience with many HMG departments, including the Colour Laboratory, Quality Control, several manufacturing departments, Warehousing and Logistics, and then more recently, Production Planning, giving him the background and experience for this new role.
