Alexander Goldsmith

I paint things, a lot of things, well. I have famous customers, some are highly acclaimed academics, some are city professionals, city unprofessionals, Architects with grand plans, software designers with many plans, clothes designers with familiar but slightly different plans. That old lady in a wolf fleece she's probably also a customer. I have keen DIYers that ask me the pro's and con's of medium vs short pile rollers. I have that other old dear round the corner that makes great tea. The pig farming customers who give me a bonus (comes frozen), i have that customer who books me in for 5 days every 12months. I have that lady customer who got confused and asked me if I could pick up the Durex paint for the bathroom wall. I have that indecisive customer that asks me to paint one wall but then realises that the other 3 now look old and in need of painting. Have i got the time?

I have customers that i never meet face to face. I have customers who prefer to talk face to face. I have lonely customers that insist on me sitting down for a chat during lunchtime so to quiz me on my option of that new woman on Countdown. I have that councillor who called me back to touch in a 'shiny mark on the wall' which turned out to be the reflection of the chrome towel rail on the wall next to it. I work for businesses on the high street, some on the back street, some i paint in the evenings, some at weekends. I have village halls with committees of 20 with 20 paint colour ideas. I have council's that take 6months to get back to me. I have first time buyers, i have last time buyers, i have multiple buyers and i have never again renters.

Whoever they are I look after my customers in terms of cost and reliability and it appears they look after me too. I have a waiting list which is currently sitting at 6-8 months ahead.
