Bowen
Delivery Driver
Bowen has been part of Independent Paint Supplies on and off over the years, stepping in to help cover roles between his other jobs — and every time he’s back, it’s like he never left. A hard worker with a great attitude, Bowen gets stuck straight into whatever’s needed and always does it with a smile. Reliable, punctual, and easy to work with, he’s exactly the kind of person every team needs.
Armed with a degree in History, Bowen’s a man of many talents — though his time at IPS has definitely added a few extra chapters to his story! During his very first stint with us in Cardiff, his van was stolen on his first day — thankfully it was recovered safely and undamaged. The incident’s now a running joke in the company, and the fact that Bowen kept his job afterwards says everything about how highly he’s thought of and what a genuine person he is.
Currently with us until his next full-time role begins in March, Bowen continues to impress with his dedication and calm approach. Outside of work, he’s a keen traveller, having already ticked off some incredible destinations most of us can only dream of.
A loyal Liverpool fan, Bowen never misses a chance to talk football — though we’ve all learned not to mention VAR unless we’ve got a spare hour! A great guy, a dependable worker, and always up for a laugh, we’re thrilled to have Bowen as part of the IPS team (even if his choice of football team divides the office now and then!).
