Members of the founding family remain on the board today ensuring the same founding values of transparency and honesty remain at the core of the group.

We recently launched our new ‘paste the wall’ technology under our Superfresco EASY brand.

  • Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to our wonderful community ♥️ To quickly introduce myself, I excitingly joined Graham & Brown this year as a 4th-generation family member. Founded in 1946 by my great-grandfather Harold Graham and his best friend Henry Brown, we're still a proud family-run business after 78 years! 2024 was packed with exciting milestones for Graham & Brown, and we're thrilled to share a few highlights with you! What a year it has been ✨ We launched our incredible Design & Colour of the year for 2025 - Rivington Folly & Elderton 🤎Opened our first London pop-up showroom and spent an amazing few weeks hosting events & meeting our community! We continue to push & innovate our business, and have invested heavily in our 'Factory of the Future' which runs on renewable electricity ♻️ This innovation sets a new standard for creating bespoke wall murals and stunning wallpaper! And as a team we have raised an amazing £50K for charity this year - which has been a HUGE team effort from all our colleagues 🙌🏻 Thank you for the continued support! Every customer and order means the world to us 🫶🏻 We hope you have a wonderful festive period, spending time with family & friends in your loving homes, and we look forward to seeing you in 2025!

    Andrew Graham MBE CEO of Graham & Brown shared the inspiring story of their family firm’s evolution during a Lancashire Business View event at Stonyhurst College. It was fascinating to hear him reflect on the business’s 78-year journey — from traditional manufacturing to embracing cutting-edge digital innovation. What they’ve created sounds so cool but the journey will no doubt have been really challenging. With my Comms strategy hat on I thought there were some important lessons for us all in his story. 1 Authenticity and Storytelling Matter Andrew highlighted the importance of anchoring their brand in its heritage while embracing change. Sharing the company’s founding story and its multi-generational legacy allows customers, collaborators, and employees to connect emotionally with the brand. Essentially, authentic storytelling is used to build trust and set the foundation for transformation. 2 Collaboration is a Driver of Creativity By partnering with bold, rule-breaking designers and empowering its team through flat hierarchies, Graham & Brown fosters an open, collaborative culture. Encouraging diverse voices and avoiding rigid rules of engagement has unlocked innovative ideas and positioned the company as a leader in creative design. 3 Transparency in Change Management Transitioning to digital manufacturing wasn’t an easy decision, but by involving stakeholders from all levels of the organisation, the business ensured alignment and buy-in. Again collaboration was vital here too. Graham & Brown’s ability to articulate the ‘why’ behind difficult decisions as been critical to maintaining trust and agility — even through challenging times. For me, Andrew’s story underscores the power of clear, authentic communication — particularly when navigating transformation. Businesses that are willing to disrupt themselves while staying true to their values can thrive, even in a rapidly changing world. #agencylife #pragency #networking #Leadership #BusinessTransformation #CommunicationStrategy
