we use the consortium all the time, they are really good, quick and cheap

this year we have just bought paint brushes in different sizes from them and they are really nice ones

the easy grip ones are 4.95 for 10. had these before though and break easily
the cuhbby ones are 2.65 for 18 and we have the mixed packs on there and are good

hope this helps

Look under painting products for paint brushes.... but they have changed a lot since we last ordered from them and think may be a bit pricey.

They also have them.. a non roll chunky brush at 8.95 for 20.

That's brilliant, thanks everyone. I've just opened a Sole Trader account with The Consortium so hopefully will have this sorted out soon
