Headline sponsor
Farrow & Ball has been based in Dorset, England, since 1946. To this day, the brand remains dedicated to handcrafting richly pigmented paints and unique wallpapers using only the finest ingredients.
The result is a directional palette of paint colours with an extraordinary response to light and artisanal wallpapers with a tactile finish, achieved by printing paint on paper. Together, they transform homes of all kinds, inside and out, all over the world. From ultra matt, durable Dead Flat to new, scrubbable, low-sheen Flat Eggshell for wood, metal, and concrete, and even choices for exteriors or historic properties, each high-performance finish is crafted with a precise balance of pigments and a low-VOC water base. This creates an extraordinary depth of colour and an unrivalled finish.
In 2024, Farrow & Ball became a B Corp™. Being a B Corp isn’t just a label. It means a brand meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. And it’s a promise to keep growing.
Becoming a sponsor of The Golden Finish Awards means more than simply supporting an event... it’s a partnership with the very best in the UK Painting & Decorating industry.
