Meet the Team at Heritage Decorating Ltd

The Creative Minds behind Heritage Decorating…

At Heritage Decorating, our artistic journey is guided by the expertise of a dynamic father-and-son duo — Marc Bourne and his son, Ricky. With an impressive 30 years of seasoned experience, Marc brings a wealth of design wisdom to our projects. His discerning eye and passion for craftsmanship have shaped the distinctive character of Heritage Decorating.

Complementing this legacy is Ricky, who, with 9 years of hands-on experience, has seamlessly evolved from Marc’s apprentice to an accomplished decorator.

Bringing Visions to Life

The last 9 years have seen them collaboratively bringing visions to life. Ricky’s diverse roles in various projects have not only enriched his skills but also added layers of modern creativity to our team.

Under the watchful mentorship of his father, Ricky continues to embrace each day as an opportunity for growth and mastery. Together, Marc and Ricky Bourne epitomise the seamless blend of heritage and innovation that defines Heritage Decorating.
