Matthew Chapman

matthew-chapman-johns-of-nottingham-speaking-at-ncbc-may-2024

Established in 1909, Johns of Nottingham is a 4th generation family-run business providing decorative, insurance reinstatement and facilities management solutions to a variety of sectors throughout the UK.

Horace Johns founded the company to provide painting and signwriting services to the local area and in the late 1940’s, ownership of the business moved to William Chapman. 40 years later, the company had evolved beyond recognition, servicing clients on a nationwide scale and holding the status of one of the country’s premier decorating contractors.

Although it’s fashionable now, throughout its history the company has considered investing in people a priority and enjoys an average employee retention rate of 16 years. Matthew Chapman, the great-grandson of William Chapman, is now engaged within a business that has diversified from solely painting. Insurance reinstatement and facilities management now form a large part of its portfolio, despite that, of course, It continues to uphold its traditions, values and legacy.
