The holding company for the Southern and Midlands Symphony Coatings businesses announced that on 10th June it acquired Mark Barnes – the holding company for the northern Symphony Coatings companies at Manchester, Huthwaite and Newcastle. The Symphony Coatings group is a nationwide supplier of technically advanced industrial coatings, sundries and spray equipment.

East Anglian Holdings has a complete coatings philosophy to distribute coatings to all industries including wood, metal, powder, glass, decorative and marine.”
The Symphony group has also announced the opening of a flagship Symphony distribution centre and trade counter in Park Royal, London.
