Julie
Sales Advisor
Julie joined Independent Paint Supplies in October 2025, joining from the Waregrain Group alongside her long-time colleague, Derek Williams. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Julie brings an incredible depth of knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to her role. Having spent her entire career in the trade, she’s built a reputation that speaks for itself — one of trust, consistency, and exceptional customer service.
From the moment she joined IPS, Julie made an immediate impact. She transferred her loyal customer base across to the company, many of whom were eager to continue working with her thanks to her reputation for delivering nothing but the best. As a Sales Advisor, she plays a vital role in keeping the business running smoothly — though anyone who knows Julie will tell you she’s never one to just sit still! She’s always the first to jump in and help colleagues, ensuring everything operates efficiently and customers receive the level of service IPS is known for.
Her warm personality, infectious energy, and dedication to her work have made her a firm favourite among both customers and the team. Whether she’s on the phone, helping on the shop floor, or supporting others behind the scenes, Julie gives her all every single day.
Highly sought after in the industry, IPS is thrilled to have Julie on board — she’s a major asset to the company and the perfect example of the passion and professionalism that drives our success.
