Doing good work and reaping the Awards
the Classic Way.

There is a saying that good work reaps rewards. At the heart of everything we do here at Classic Contractors is a desire to do good work, with good people and finish well.

This year, we’re blown away by the recognition our commercial painting work has received amongst our industry’s finest at the Master Painters and Decorators Australia Awards for Excellence. We’ve been awarded Large Business of the Year 2026 for the second time in five years, the first being in 2023.

I’d like to personally thank our valued clients for the opportunities to work on their projects, and our Painting Manager, Paul McIntosh, for leading our painting team leaders and painters, who all bring their enthusiasm, passion and skill to every job site.

MARK STEWART, Managing Director, Classic Contractors receives the Large Business of the Year 2026 Award from Master Painters and Decorators Australia.

I’m Roslyn, a Certified Brand Specialist and a Strategic Creative Director who understands business. I am the Creative Director and Owner of bespoke design and brand consultancy Bold Type Creative.

FUTURE THINKING, STRATEGY MAKING CREATIVE

At Bold Type, I strategise and assemble best-of-breed creatives in design, copywriting, web development and SEO.

I’m moved to look deeply at how your brand and strategies influence behaviour, decision-making and resonate with your ideal customers. I style brands with a Strategic eye and I work great with kind organisations that want to change the world.

THE BACKSTORY

I’ve been actively engaged in the design, branding and marketing business for over 20 years.

Working in the creative field since, ahem, the mid 90’s (oh yeah!) I cut my teeth in publications and events designing everything from recipe books, novels to coffee books and conference posters. I’ve studied Visual Art and hold a BA in Arts Management from the world-famous West Australian Academy of Performing Arts. (…Hugh went there - and yes I love saying that). As an ENFP-T (Extrovert, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving - Turbulent) I’m going to get very excited about your brand and be brimming with ideas. I’ll happily brainstorm with you till the cows come home!

I’m motivated by the generosity and guidance of my mentors who encourage me to be engaged in fulfilling work and become my best. Their willingness to input into me inspires me to do the same. Based in Perth, Western Australia where I live with my art and design-obsessed family, I thrive on working with clients around the globe.
