Tommy
Delivery Driver
Tommy joined Independent Paint Supplies in July 2023, joining the Cardiff branch after being on our “standby list” for a while — eagerly waiting for the right opportunity to open up. A close friend of Louis, our Cardiff Branch Manager, Tommy was already familiar with the IPS team spirit and fitted in instantly once he came on board.
With years of experience in the refinish industry, including time spent working with two of our competitors, Tommy brought valuable product knowledge and a strong understanding of the trade. From day one, he’s shown exactly what makes him such a great addition — punctual, hard-working, and completely dependable. He’s one of those people who quietly gets on with the job, from the moment he walks through the door to the moment he clocks out.
Based in Cardiff, Tommy covers the Cardiff and Newport delivery runs, ensuring customers receive their orders promptly and professionally. His consistency and reliability have made him a huge asset to the branch and a trusted face among our customers.
Outside of work, Tommy’s two great passions are motorbikes and fishing. He’s a keen angler — though a word of warning: if you get him started on fishing, make sure you’ve got a comfy chair… he’ll keep reeling off stories until he’s out of breath!
A dedicated worker with a great sense of humour, Tommy embodies the IPS spirit — hardworking, loyal, and always up for a bit of banter.
