About Suave Property Care

Suave Property Care is a premium painting and decorating business known for high-end finishes and a strong focus on customer experience.

Founded by a young British African couple, the business has grown through a clear commitment to quality, professionalism and consistency. Suave’s team of skilled painters share the same high standards and attention to detail, delivering work that speaks for itself.

From proving credibility to unlocking opportunity

For Suave’s Property Care, the early stages of growth came with challenges beyond the work itself.

Entering an industry not always used to diverse or female leadership, the founders faced doubt around their experience and capability. Rather than respond to perception, they focused on delivery. Over time, consistent results and a strong reputation helped them build trust and expand their team.

The next step was gaining access to larger opportunities.

Through attending MSDUK events and engaging with the wider business network, Suave was able to connect directly with corporate decision-makers. One of these connections was Enterprise Mobility, marking their first step into corporate supply chains.

This shift has been significant.

Moving from local projects into the corporate space has strengthened Suave’s credibility, increased visibility and reshaped their growth trajectory.

Beyond the commercial impact, Suave Property Care create a positive change within their industry by actively offering training and employment opportunities to young people supporting the next generation of decorating professionals.

“We are proud to be a young Black-owned business breaking barriers in the painting industry. Working with corporate clients has shown us that with perseverance, excellence and the right support, real change is possible.” Joshua Okusanya, Co-founder, Suave Property Care
