Where did it all begin?

Way back in 1983 when the founder of UMR 20, Paul O'Reilly was 8 years old he began helping his parents on a Saturday in their motor factors based in Stoke on Trent.  This is where Paul learnt the art of mixing paint and began his journey in the world of coatings.  

In 1996  Paul graduated with a 2.1 Honours Degree in Business and joined the family business in a full time role. In 2001 Paul purchased the business outright and in 1996 partnered with International Investors.

In 2017 Paul founded UMR 20 Ltd. The concept was to have a company that could offer a multitude of services geared around product sourcing, brand creation and project management for refinishing related products.
