APPRECIATION POST – Stirling 👊🎨
I just want to give a massive shoutout to Matt Stirling from ProSpec.
If you’re in painting, decorating, or interior plastering and you’ve ever hit a wall (literally or technically), you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
Need advice on spraying?
Paint not behaving how it should?
Plaster doing weird things?
Trying to nut out a tricky spec or system?
Matt’s the man.
You flick him a text.
You give him a call.
He answers.
Within minutes you’re not just guessing anymore — you’ve got a game plan.
How many companies give you that level of technical backup? Straight up, real-world advice, no fluff, no ego, just experience. The bloke’s been there, tried it, failed it, perfected it — and then shares that knowledge freely.
He’s not just a whizz at ProSpec.
He’s the GOAT of technical advisory in our game.
A walking book of knowledge.
A problem-solver.
A sounding board.
And he genuinely backs the tradies.
That kind of support is out the gate.
Appreciate you, Matt. The industry’s better because of blokes like you. 🙌🔥
