Meet the team behind A&T

Our Story

It started with a single job in Bedford.

It was 2022, and Tyler and Alyson, living in Halesowen at the time, took on a painting job through a family connection. They packed up, travelled up, and got stuck in. The job went well. Really well. The client was delighted, and even slipped them a tip on the way out.

Driving home that evening, something had shifted. They looked at each other and just knew: we could do this properly. Within weeks, they had picked a name, A&T Painting & Decorating, and had a logo made. The adventure had begun.

They moved to Rushden, and for that first year, Alyson ran the business largely on her own, taking on jobs here and there while Tyler worked in property refurbishment, dipping in and out to help where he could. Then, in 2024, with their first child on the way, Tyler made the leap, leaving refurbishment behind to work on A&T full time, alongside Alyson.

Alyson kept decorating right up until she physically could not anymore, because she simply loves it too much to stop early. When she stepped back from the tools, she did not step back from the business. She poured her energy into the admin side instead: client conversations, the Facebook page, helping customers make the right choices for their homes. Not long after, their son, Elijah Maximus, arrived.

About fourteen months later, Alyson was back on site, paintbrush in hand, and these days the two of them juggle it together, trading time between home and the tools. It means they get to enjoy both sides of the life they have built: watching their son grow into his own little character, and bringing colour into other people’s worlds too.

Meet Harry

Harry’s story begins somewhere a little unexpected.

It starts out in Canada, where he first picked up painting and decorating, working with clients across the country before the pull of home eventually brought him back to the UK.

That journey led him to A&T, and he joined the team at the start of 2026. He and his partner already knew they were expecting not one, but two baby boys, so it was always going to be a big year. In June, the twins arrived, and Harry’s world got a whole lot busier, and a whole lot more wonderful.

These days, Harry brings the same steady hands and quiet dedication to every home he works on that he brings to his own growing family, and we could not be prouder to have him on the team.
