CCTAL & Hughes Decorators Ltd supports community initiative at Ammanford Rugby Club 

As part of our Pathways to Your Future project, Hughes Decorators Ltd, a long-standing member of CCTAL, have been helping to refresh the interior spaces at Ammanford Rugby Club. 

Director Ryan Hughes and Site Manager Gavin Hughes, who have delivered many projects of this kind, personally coordinated the work, leading a team of six painters who redecorated around 80 percent of the club’s interior. Areas refreshed included the changing rooms, staircases, hallways, bathrooms, bar, and pool room; all completed using eco-friendly paints.  

Keen to meet Ammanford rugby club’s needs, Hughes Decorators Ltd coordinated closely with CCTAL and the club, transforming the facilities into a fresh, bright, and welcoming spaces – with the club choosing their preferred colour scheme. 

Hughes Decorators Ltd is an independent, family-run business based in South West Wales, established in 1998. Ryan brings over 50 years of experience in painting and decorating, including lecturing at colleges across Wales, while Gavin adds over 30 years of hands-on experience. Both are fully time-served and qualified, with advanced Level 3 painting and carpentry certifications, O.N.C., H.N.C. Building qualifications.

The CITB-recognised company is also well regarded in the community for delivering consistently high-quality work, including external decorating, building maintenance, and carpentry.  

Ryan Hughes, Director at Hughes Decorators Ltd, said: 

“As a long-standing member of CCTAL, we’re always keen to support the local community. This project at Ammanford Rugby Club was a great opportunity for our family-run business to contribute our skills – we worked closely with Lynnette from CCTAL and the rugby club to deliver a high standard of work within the allocated timeframe. 

“Being part of CCTAL’s network has been hugely beneficial, giving us the chance to collaborate with other members, work on a range of projects, and support their focus on training and developing the next generation of tradespeople. We’re proud that our qualified and experienced team could give something back to the community, especially to a club that plays such an important role in local sport and youth development.”
