“2025: The year that proved ‘winging it’ is sometimes a perfectly acceptable strategy.”
If you’d told me back in January what the next twelve months had in store, I would’ve assumed you’d had one too many coffees. From unexpected challenges to all the wins I definitely didn’t see coming, it’s been a year that reminded me you can plan all you like... life still finds ways to keep things interesting.
What really stood out, though, was the ability of people to adapt in a tough environment. I’ve watched people pick up new systems, try gear they’d been putting off, and tackle projects they weren’t totally convinced they were ready for. And almost every time, the “I’ll probably mess this up” turned into “why didn’t I do this sooner?”
(Trust me, I relate — I learned a Taylor Swift dance this year. If that’s not personal growth, I don’t know what is.)
As we head into January 2026, I’m feeling genuinely excited. We’ve got new products landing, a few fresh ideas brewing, and a clear focus on making your work easier and cleaner — ideally without adding to your swear-word vocabulary.
As always, we’re here when you need us — no question too big, small or slightly ridiculous.
Thanks for being part of the ride this year. Here’s to a grounded, energised start to 2026 — and to whatever surprises the next twelve months have lined up for us.

The Wagner SuperFinish SF21 Pro is a true entry level trade machine, compact, efficient, and easy to maintain, it delivers the reliable, consistent spray quality tradespeople expect without the price tag.
The SF21 sits perfectly between DIY sprayers and full scale trade airless sprayers.
Whether you need to take paint straight from the bucket for big jobs, fast colour changes for small applications, or one unit that can do both, the SF21 Pro range makes it simple to pick the right setup for your workflow.

For the best results, match the configuration to your most common project type, keep hoses and tips clean, and use HEA tips where reduced overspray is a priority.
