Married couple to sell Northumberland and Borders DIY chain after 44 years in business

An independent chain of paint and DIY shops in the Northumberland and Borders area has gone up for sale.

Glendale Paints has hit the market after 44 years in business as its owners, husband-and-wife team Harry and Wendy Grant, prepare to retire.

Land, property and business agency George F. White is selling the firm as trading operation.

Glendale Paints comprises four stores across Kelso, Alnwick, Berwick and Wooler.

Co-owner Harry said of the decision to sell up: “Glendale Paints has been my life and passion for 44 years.

“The team behind me, comprising my wife and amazing and loyal staff over the years, has made Glendale Paints into a thriving local high street business.”

Simon Brierley, George F. White commercial consultant, commented: “This is a rare opportunity to purchase a flourishing and well-established business portfolio with a wide customer base from north Northumberland to the Borders and we are thrilled to have introduced the property to market.

“Glendale Paints is a household name in the region and sells and stocks an exhaustive range of products. The brand is also used by the trade for supplying larger quantities of product.”

George F. White is inviting offers at its branch in Alnwick.
