Fleetwood Paints – A story of true Irish innovation

It all started on Marlborough Street in Dublin’s City centre in 1950 when Mr. Doyle and his son’s Brian and and Conor perfected the art of making high quality paint brushes – by hand.

By the mid 50’s we had opened our first factory in Cabra. With the love for our brushes growing, in both Ireland and abroad, we moved to a two-acre site in Inchicore, Dublin 8. In 1971 we opened our factory and current home in Virginia, Co. Cavan. Brian and Conor Doyle had a passion for colour and design and felt there was no paint to match the high standard of the brushes they were producing for so long.”

So they made their own!

Since the first can of Fleetwood paint came off the production line in Virginia, Co. Cavan, on January 12th 1979, we have developed our products to be of the very best quality, in colours inspired by the world around us. “I personally vet every product,” says Conor Doyle. “It doesn’t get the Fleetwood name unless it is of the highest quality. I think that is what has kept us in business for so long”
